If you believe that it's not a responsibility for a school to teach ethical behavior, then you have a very narrow view of ethics. Cooperation, sharing, boundaries, transactionalism, turn-taking, equity, etc., are all ethics. Any institution requires some modulation, encouragement, and enforcement of such practices. One of the primary jobs of a school is to impart the skills needed to deploy various ethical frameworks in service of a healthy, functional practice of life. It's not possible to have a school without ethical practicum.
