The primary goal of schools is to communicate cognitive information; however, this cannot be presented in a vacuum. Schools must also include content that teaches good citizenship. The pluralism of the United States has greatly enriched its culture. An outgrowth of this pluralism is a diverse value system reflecting the contributions of many ethnic, religious, and racial groups; yet, a consensus of common character traits transcends this cultural diversity. Character traits for which students should strive have been identified by the Copley-Fairlawn City Schools Community Character Education Study Committee. These include but are not limited to the following character traits
C O M P A S S I O N
Students should show care, concern, and empathy for the needs of other persons, without regard to race, religion, gender, age, economic status, and/or physical and mental conditions.
D I L I G E N C E
Students should pursue worthwhile endeavors, showing persistence, care and effort.
C O U R T E S Y
Students should display good manners and politeness, showing the same respect for others as they would wish for themselves.
R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y
Students should exercise sound thinking and good judgment, as they are personally and ethically accountable for their actions. Students should work with others to strengthen the family and improve the community, the state, the nation, and the world for everyone.
T O L E R A N C E
Students should strive to discover and learn about people who are different from themselves and about cultures different from their own.
S E L F - R E S P E C T
Students should consider the person within themselves, realize their worth and dignity as human beings, and account for their strengths as well as their weaknesses.
H O N E S T Y
Students should be truthful and trustworthy in their relationships with others.
C O U R A G E
Students should develop personal strength and stability to draw upon in times of adversity.
S E L F - D I S C I P L I N E
Students should realize the motivations for their actions and give priority to duties and responsibilities rather than to conflicting impulses and desires, being willing to sacrifice present satisfaction in order to receive long-term benefits.
I N T E G R I T Y
Students should acquire sound character traits and thereafter seek to live up to them in a consistent manner.
The ultimate goal of education is the positive influence of student behavior. Students who are committed to these basic principals will gain respect for themselves and others and will work to improve the social and natural environment for all. The school has the unique opportunity to develop and nurture these traditional principles in every member of its community. 2/93
