I have 2 question for you!

After watching that video clip of a girl recording a theft in her school should we be taught in secondary school how stealing is wrong?

So why don’t they teach us theft is wrong, they taught us how to cross the road safely, right?

• There are many reasons why the school do not teach us that stealing is wrong.

1. Our parents have already taught us its wrong

2. In our head we know it wrong

3. We’re older to know we shouldn’t do it

4. We are RESPONSIBLE if we do it and the blame is on our self no one else.

BUT….If schools teach us how to cook, first aid (in

some cases), how to read, how to write neatly, where countries are, what

happened hundreds of years ago in history… Shouldn’t the teach us as well in Year 7/8 about stealing on a whole other level with consequences involving police, or take it in their own hands and sanction

us?
