How
do children learn to be honest, respect societal norms, act in ways consistent
with values, beliefs and moral principles they hold? This all is delivered to
them either at home or in school. School is the second home for kids where they
spent their valuable time. No child is born with integrity or behavioural traits. This all is groomed in them when they come to school.
In
the school environment, students acquire these values and behaviours from adult
role models and peers. To groom the students into good citizens as they are the
future leaders, the teachers instil and reinforce a code of ethics in the
classrooms. When students learn integrity in their classroom settings, it helps
them to apply similar principles to other aspects of their lives.
The
school environment helps the child in character building and integrity is a
part of one’s character. Moral Values should be inculcated in a child by
building relationships with teachers, peers and community. In school, a good
student-teacher relationship comes from mutual trust and respect.
Honesty
and Integrity is the two important traits that we should have in our academic
and professional life. We can help the
students to learn integrity by engaging them in any activity or dialogue. Help
the students to understand the importance of academic integrity and not to be
stressed or under pressure.
Integrity
means to be true to oneself. We should willingly do what is right even when no
one is watching us. When we are true to our self we will always be happy as we are honest and trustworthy.
