i think one of the virtues of a character based educational system is that you can actually see a wide range of human interaction that you want to get your children good at. I'm chinese, as you know, and i'm confucius, at least the way i was taught, so i hope i'm not misinterpreting confucius. Character is not something that you either haver or don't at birth, but it's onow, crafted over a life. So much of who we are when we grow up is because of those early school experiences.
