Character Education We, the people, of the State of Indiana, hold the value of strength of character and the practices that promote character development to be universal. Character skills are needed to survive in the future. Children of today are our future. Character is essential to developing a sense of eternal peace-individually and collectively. Character gives self-respect, hope, security, and safety in life, and allows students to have greater expectations.
Character is the foundation of our culture.
Character is the foundation of a civil society. Character makes a strong and peaceful community. The alternative to character education is incivility. Our ability to transmit what we were taught as children depends on our ability as adults to educate about character. Character brings order to life.
