MORALS

​

Moral values refer to the acceptable conduct of rational people evaluated by other rational people. In education, moral conduct is closely aligned with ethics and ethical codes that outline how teachers, administrators and students should behave. Unless they know what is expected of them, students do not know how to behave. Therefore, our teachers develop creative methods of teaching acceptable moral values so that students have some basis of reference for the moral decisions that they will make in life.



Many teachers tell students to be nice to one another, abide by the school rules and, in general, do the right things. However, some of those same teachers fail to follow ethical standards of conduct in teaching and it is evident to the students that they instruct. If a teacher expects students to act morally in school, as in life, then the teacher must act morally herself and serve as an example for young minds that are being molded, in part, by the school system.​ And our teachers do just that.
