The Peel District School Board is in the process of determining which character attributes to use to structure their character development curriculum. They are doing this with a survey in which they list 14 character attributes and ask participants to choose the six that are most important to be taught in school. It strikes me that character ought be based on more than just popular opinion about desirable attributes, but rather grounded in a comprehensive vision of human life and social well-being based on something like psychology, ethics, or (God help us) theology. This is part of the point of the Christ Centred Character Project that spawned the ARC!
