Character Counts study shows behavioral gains in South Dakota
The South Dakota State University study surveyed 6100 to 8400 youths and 345 teachers yearly from 1998 to 2000. Results show declines in physical aggression and theft, and improvements in helpfulness and respect for property, with increased teacher reports of better behavior in both elementary and secondary grades. The piece frames Character Counts as filling a perceived moral void in public schools by promoting six pillars of character and notes broad support for the program nationwide.
