(Accepting the premise that they should be addressed at some point, I do NOT believe they should ever be taught during the course of a normal service. ONLY during special new convert classes while kept separate from the rest of the congregation.)

Yes standards should be taught in the normal church service. I personally don't dwell on them, but do teach them. Why would one teach new converts and NOT teach them to the rest of the saints?
Paul said to write the same thing (or say) unto you, for me indeed it is not grevious but for YOU it is SAFE. Would this be like teaching your kids not to play with the electrical socket and then believing that they just got it after the first time? What if you see them playing around the electrical socket with a bobby pin? "Well, I taught them once..." It is safe to teach again.
