        It is true that the main reason why parents enroll their children in a school is to learn about academicsubjects like math, history, science, and so on, but these are not the only things that children need to learn ifthey ever want to become successful in the real world. Character education gives them the necessary tools thatthey will be using more often than those that they learn from the other subjects.
       Character education fosters the development of ethical and responsible individuals by teaching them aboutthe good values that people should have. It teaches the students the values of caring about other people, honesty,responsibility, and other important traits that make for an upstanding citizen. Parents are not the only ones thatneed to be concerned in developing a student's character； the school and community should also have a role inthis. These days, with most families, the children are often left alone with no one to guide them. This is whyschools need to implement character education so that the students know the correct path they should walk on.
       The need for character education lies in the fact that a sustained process of teaching, being shownexamples of good character, and practicing what they learned are what’s needed to instill good character traitsin students. And since students spend most of their time at school, it is the perfect place to instill moral valuesin them. The reason for teaching good character is to help prepare the students to face the many opportunitiesand unknown dangers that are in today's society. Character education gives the students the knowledge theyneed to know what these dangers in society are and to deal with them properly.
