At times a debate has raged about whether education should be concerned with values. It is an idiot debate in that form, on a hopelessly archaic question. As well ask whether religion should deb concerned with the problem of the Godhead. Every actor in the educational drama -- teacher, student, family, administrator, media, peer group -- is up to its neck in values. Like it or not, education is values drenched.
