What are our responsiblities as teachers?

Whether you are a parent teacher, or paid teacher you have certain responsibilities to your students.

You need to teach the values of a civilized society.
You teach in a way that students will learn what they need to survive and even excell.
You need to model all of these things so as not to confuse children.

Just as you cannot have a teacher with bad grammar teach students grammar, you cannot have someone with questionable morals form the values of students.

But more and more, the people teaching most of America's students are giving mouth service only. The problem is, children learn faster from what you do than they do from what you say.

Look at the actions of this public school teacher.

What do you think this taught the students? I think it taught them that it is OK to to get a "hookup" i.e. possess stolen property.

I say it is theft. What do you think?
