However, since the 1930's American education has increasingly turned away from character education as a primary focus (Power, Higgens & Kohlberg, 1989). This is in spite of the fact that both educators and the public believe character education to be an important aspect of schooling. Spears' (1973) survey of members of Phi Delta Kappa (an education honorary society) on goals of education showed the following ranking of the goals of public schools:
develop skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening;
develop pride in work and feeling of self-worth; and
develop good character and self-respect.
In terms of defining good character, educators stated that this should include developing:
moral responsibility and sound ethical and moral behavior;
capacity for discipline;
a moral and ethical sense of the values, goals, and processes of a free society;
standards of personal character and ideas.
