Which is more important to teach at school, academic subjects or how to discriminate between R and W?

Schools are normally considered as a place where students can be helped to acquire knowledge and improve employability. In my opinion, although academic courses are significant, it could be hard for a student to achieve success if he or she cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Many teachers believe that students have to pay more attention to main courses, since these subjects will determine if the students can further their education in university. Through these courses, students will be able to acquire essential knowledge to construct a firm grounding for university, thus to find a decent job in the future. For example, if one learns and masters mathematics in high school, he or she will be likely to know how to design and build mathematical models to analyse data , thereby being employed as a financial analyst or an engineer. (sentence may be too long) In contrast, students would not be able to focus on the main subjects if they spend too much time in learning virtual rules and action regulations.

On the other hand, virtue is as important to teach as academic subjects are. With moral guidelines, students can apply their knowledge candidly and be valuable members of our society. Those who know the importance of honesty would not sell the company's confidential information to their competitors. An engineer who is socially responsible will design flawless products, which can be used by customers safely. It is less possible to achieve success for a man who cannot obey vital rules even if he or she performed excellently at school.

My personal perspective is that if  students can distinguish the right from the wrong, they will be able to possess the characteristics to be successful in the future. Without these, they would not be possible to get along with their classmates and be respected by their teachers. If students can not realize these problems, their study and their work in the future will be inevitably impacted.
