Teaching ethics...isn't that a parents job?
I have been teaching for 21 years, and unfortunately I have seen teachers with lack of respect for their students and for the whole purpose of being an educator. That is sad. I have also seen students who have no respect for their teachers or other adults for that matter. Also thrown into the equation are the parents and caregivers of these children who do not value the need to teach their children respect, or have the where-with-all to demand the same respect from teachers who have a major impact on their lives. In order for our children to exit public school with all the tools, academic and ethical, that they need for their adult lives, it takes a well coordinated team effort.
