A Credit to Society?
Bringing up children has always been to give them a sense of values. Is this the responsibility of parents alone, or should schools step in to help prepare young people to be responsible citizens? Is school the right place to teach morals - and should education share the blame for society's problem children? Martin Young asks parents, young people, teachers and school governors whose values are to be taught and how.

The seventh programme in this 12-part series.
Narrated by Anthony Quayle Giants of the Air
From the moment man first took to the skies, the dream has been to build bigger and bigger aircraft. The early designers saw the advantages that large aeroplanes would bring as passenger and cargo carriers. The military also needed them to carry troops and drop bombs. The problem in the early days was the lack of engine power. It was the invention of the jet engine that finally provided the answer to the designers' dreams. A new generation of huge aircraft were born - planes like the C5 Galaxy which is capable of carrying more than a 100 cars. Film editor PETER GOWER
