Moral literacy.
Morals as sensitivity in thoughts, feelings, and actions are compared with other measures that are not merely sensitivity to principles and rules .
Parents pass on or produce psychic deformations that have morally untoward effects.
The specific moral values one grows up into are social values, some of which are decent and wellfounded, while others are derived from the unjust or morally limited institution .
Thus, moral development is the development of rules and conventions about what man should do in his interactions with others.
Moral sensitivity is thus to a large extent a conscious process.
Before the alert interpretation of a situation, a more unconscious process takes place: good perception, which pertains to how hypotheses about the world and information processes organize stimulation into some understandable form that is then consciously interpreted.
Research on bystander reactions to emergencies has revealed considerable developmental, situational and personality differences in understanding the situations.
The number of people present affects the probability to help in emergency situations .
As underlying factors, there were social psychological processes like audience inhibition and social influence .
Morals as sensitivity in thoughts, feelings, and actions are compared with other measures that are not merely sensitivity to principles and rules.

Student connectedness Based on the data analysis, it can be seen that studentAos connectedness with their classmates well established and have the role in the students' moral and culture.

In an academic achievement study that investigated the relationship of childrenAos social skills with cognitive development and academic achievement.
School discipline School discipline is crucial for students so that students will behave in the school environment and have a role in the students' moral and culture.
Teachers in applying discipline to students are by giving comprehension and good examples to students so that students understand the meaning of discipline and apply it inside and outside the school environment.
All school staff who follow rule and discipline will make students become discipline as well.
it also gives a positive influence on learning .
Schools fail to understand that maintaining safety, including the correction of misbehavior, is a prerequisite for developing self-discipline, but it is not sufficient.
Schools and other institutions that are effective in establishing and maintaining order and safety are not necessarily effective in developing self-discipline or in preventing future behavior problems.
This process is most evident when adult supervision, systematic rewards, clear rules and expectations, and consequences for misbehavior are the primary techniques used to manage behavior.
When those external techniques are later removed, individuals are expected to function independently after having learned little other than 'don't get caught'.
Prisons provide an excellent example of reliance on external control, as do many schools that adopt a similar zero tolerance mindset .

Working out proper and complete learning tools is essential for teachers.
They can teach well then students will receive lessons well and learn clearly.
As a rule, educational experiences that involve the learner physically and that give concrete examples are retained longer than abstract skills such as listening to a lecture.
Learning tools help of contextual concept for instance, including pictures or highly involved computer simulations in a talk.
Learning tools can be used to support one or more of the following instructional activities: Gain attention.
Recall prerequisites.
Present objectives to the learners.
Present new content .

When the children' school environment is right, then the righteous will be formed well and vice versa.
