Teaching the Virtues

"A good education should form both the mind and character, says author and long-time teacher David Hein. And character, he shows, is the outcome of education of the mind and habituation of the will. Even very good schools, religious and secular, can do better at teaching students virtues such as prudence, justice, courage, temperance, faith, hope, love, loyalty, and patience. Drawing on examples from history, literature, and film, Hein shows that young people learn virtue by becoming persons of good character." --
