"The
Ninth Commandment: Thou shalt reward good character.
Currently, our schools acknowledge and reward all sorts
of human behavior from academic and artistic to athletic
achievement. We need to acknowledge ethical growth and
virtue too. We need to recognize publicly the development
of good character. We need regular rewards and prizes
for students in this area of human achievement."
From "The Ten Commandments of Character Education"by
Horace Webster McGuffey, an 18th century American educator
and Dr. Kevin Ryan, Director of the Center for the Advancement
of Ethics and Character, Boston University
