In arguing that schools should teach morality or that schools should instead teach logic, one presents these methodologies as exclusive of one another. Is it not possible to teach both logical reasoning and morality in our schools? Logic on its own does not neccessarily lead to a moral society but it lays the foundation on which the ideas of morality can be built.
Thinking in a purely logical manner does not always lead to truly moral behaviour. This is an issue covered by authors and film directors many times. For example, the film equilibrium depicts a society in which emotions are suppressed by medication and thus citizens live their lives following cold hard logic. The inhabitants of this quite often exhibit very immoral activities, treating the homeless with outright disdain and violently punishing those who act out of line. Indeed many moral traits do not make particular logical sense. If your goals revolve around personal success then there is no logical reason to help those less fortunate than your self.
However with some understanding of logic, the lessons of morality are far more easily taught. Exhibiting empathy requires, almost by definition, the ability to step through another person's chain of events to understand their hardship. Without applying to logic to this process it is easy to dismiss the problems of the needy as merely of their own doing.
In summary, morality and logical reasoning need not be exclusive to one another. To create a truly rounded students there must be a balance between these two.

- People who make decisions based on emotion and justify those decisions with logic afterwards are poor decision makers. 16
- Mass media and the internet have caused people’s attention spans to get shorter. However, the overall effect has been positive: while people are less able to focus on one thing, they more than make up for it with an enhanced ability to sort through lar 66
