Mankind agrees with the things that ought to be taught:
Virtue
The best in life.
Education is more concerned with intellectual & moral values but it depends on how the school shares these principles
to the students.
Opinions a teacher should reflect upon:
1.should knowledge be useful in life

2.should virtue be a component of your institution

3.should higher knowledge be the aim of this journey
VIRTUE must be habitual; needed to conduct our lives well
Courage
Generosity
Honesty
Loyalty
KNOWLEDGE information and understanding of a subject which a person or a group of people have.
