Ethics day at New Trier is the same every year. You get a long advisory where you eat bagels from Panera and talk about things you should and shouldn't do to make New Trier a better place. My question is whether or not you can change what someone thinks is the right thing to do. Ethics are usually first taught by your parents and family and that is when they become brainwashed. If you were taught as a child that the color red was a devil color, than you heard otherwise in your twenties, you will probably not change your mind. I don't think that the school can change what you think in one hour once a year.

I agree with you that a school can change what people think in just an hour or so three times a year. I think that if it was more frequently done that then maybe it could help or change things, but honestly, the times that we do it, it doesn't seem to help anything. Not all the advisories even bother to work on ECGC with shows how people really don't think it is going to do anything. Ethics should be taught by parents and then should be maintained by teachers or kids should form their own idea of ethics. I think that if people are our age and haven't got any idea what ethics they believe in then something is lacking there and I think that is from the parents.
