Economy, Education, and the Moral Compass

Kevin from Faith Lutheran, Las Vegas put together an exceptional blog post concerning issues with cheating in schools and long-term implications, especially in light of our struggling U.S. economy. His post should be required reading for educators trying to make a difference with their students and in the world today.

The moral relativism we see in our society can only be combated with an understanding of sin and its corruption of our world. Cheating of any kind is a part of this sin. However, the times in which we live seem to blur the lines between right and wrong in the eyes of many of our students (and us too!). Kevin's post serves to remind us that there is clear evidence all around us of the consequences of our failure to adhere to these Biblical principles of right and wrong, and that our role as teachers includes preparing our students to effectively respond to the relativism they see all around them. Well said, Kevin!
