Extinction of Responsibility and Character (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781475875379)

This timely and provocative manuscript addresses a critical concern shared by many in today's educational landscape. It offers a compelling argument for recalibrating the roles of educators, administrators, parents, and students by restoring clear boundaries and returning accountability to where it belongs-with the student. Especially in the wake of COVID-19, when traditional expectations and responsibilities have become blurred, this book urges a reexamination of what it means to be responsible in a school setting and beyond.
Unlike character education programs that treat responsibility as a teachable trait, this work positions it as a systemic issue-one that must be tackled holistically across families, schools, and society at large. By confronting these hard truths, the book aims to inspire educators and stakeholders to reestablish shared responsibility in order to better prepare today's students for the realities of the adult world.
