"PREPARING THE YOUTH OF TODAY FOR THE WORLD OF TOMORROW."
EDUCATIONAL CHARACTER BUILDING
American Character Builders works to provide schools with educational curricula that addresses the real choices people face. Throughout America people are bullied, alcohol is irresponsibly consumed and drugs are sold. Our goal is to prepare the young adult and teenager for the decisions that they will face. The original kits sold in the state of Alabama helped teachers fulfill part of the following 1975 Code of Alabama mandate:
“The State Board of Education and all local boards shall develop and implement…a comprehensive character education program for all grades to consist of not less than ten minutes instruction per day focusing upon the students’ development of the following character traits: Courage, patriotism, citizenship, honesty, fairness, respect for others, kindness, cooperation, self-respect, self-control, courtesy, compassion, tolerance, diligence, generosity, punctuality, cleanliness, cheerfulness, school pride, respect for the environment, patience, creativity, sportsmanship, loyalty, and perseverance. Each plan of instruction shall include the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag” (1995 Accountability Law).
