Essay about Teaching Children Respect

Respect as a virtue is a simple virtue and should be followed at all times in daily life. In a short definition respect means treating others, human or otherwise, in a dignified manner; however, this does not mean that everyone on Earth as royalty. As Marshall puts it, “respect is a close relative of tolerance (Marshall 44).” Following this further the author is acknowledging that all humans will always have our

RESPECT mean that we need to be nice to each other and help each other when people need it. Me and my sisters try to be nice to each other but when we don’t we call each other names but I notice that when we need thing we need things we apologize. We try to respect each other but sometimes we just don’t care.

Teachers shape the minds of students to realize what their purpose is in life. Lately, because of certain educational reforms, it has been hard for teachers to say what they need to say. “In 40-plus states, the math and English guidelines determine the knowledge students have to master by the end of each grade, what they’ll be tested on this year, and in many cases, how teachers and principals will be rated at their jobs once those test scores are released” (Strauss). Most educational reforms are adopting standardized testing and should be reconsidered. Statistics even show that since we have taken part in reforms like No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and Common Core State Standards math and reading are declining. These standards tell teachers what to teach and what the students should know by the end of the school year. The reforms also evaluate teacher performance by how well the students learn the information. Some people believe educational reforms should not be telling teachers how to teach their students, and others believe that the reforms are absolutely fine the way they are. However the truth is educational reforms are yet to be perfected.

While reading Journal 1 of The Alternative and reflecting on the assignment giving, memories of teachers flooded through my mind. I am unabashed to admit that I believed some teachers to be poor at their job, and have more than once thought that perhaps this wasn’t the correct career path for them. One such teacher was my 7th and 8th grade science teacher, who believed public shaming to be the preferable way of teaching adolescents. When a student would answer a question wrong in class he couldn’t help but laugh as well as bring it up throughout the lesson, refusing to let the student move past their mistake. He chose to

In my family we value respect a good bit.When I was younger my mom made sure that I was a well mannered child.She would constantly remind me to say yes malm and thank you to people.My mom expects me to treat everyone with respect,even if

Encourage correct manners to be used by ‘treating others in a way that you expect to be treated’. Always allow the children to hear “please” and “thank you” being used which will show continued respect between all children and other adults.

Strengths of being respectful children never know when you’ll meet again. Treating someone with utmost respect now will leave a memorable impression on them. Children never know when that person will be in a position where you need their help in the future. A bit shallow, yet very realistic way of looking at respect.

    Students and parents always blame the teacher for their failure, when students should be taking responsibility for their own education. In the article “Obama needs to speak honestly about education” by Thomas Friedman claims that teachers are held at an impossible standard while students are not even responsible for their own education. Friedman says “Teachers are held to impossible standards, and students are accountable for hardly any part of their own education and are incapable of failing”(7). Everyone learns at a different pace and there are some really horrible teachers but more than half the

A respectful is needed both with co-workers and parents/guardians of the children. Parents and any other adult that comes into the school is more likely to support the teacher or school if there is a strong and effective relationship in place. This positive relationship with the parents/guardians then benefits the pupils. If there is a strong connection, then anything that needs to be carried out at home can be relayed to the parent or guardian and the continuity can carry on. This then benefits the children or young person as they are aware of what is expected of them both in school and at home. A parent/guardian know more about their children so therefor it is important to listen to what the parents have to say.

In the newspaper article by author: Sara Drumm, “Protests outside School Board”. There is debate surrounding the issues teachers face throughout every school. Many Americans fail to realize that teaching is no easy task and that it takes full dedication as well as unique skills to teach, while masterfully controlling and executing a classroom.

There are five important beliefs that I hold in regards to educating young children and they are as follows: First, children should be handled with care and respect. Second, learning should be child-centered. Third, children should be able to learn at their own level and pace. Fourth, children learn through play. Fifth, learning should not be boring; it should be fun. These same beliefs are expressed in many pre-kinder and kinder public school classes today. Teachers treat each child with the care and respect that they deserve. These classrooms are outfitted with child size tables, chairs, and rugs that center around the child’s needs and size. However, the public school system does not agree that all children who are in pre-kinder

Being in the education field can be quite remarkable, especially in Elementary education, as we are aiding in establishing the foundation for our student’s future. However, although working with young children is rewarding it comes with a great deal of responsibility. Knowing that all humankind are created in God’s image ensures that we will be respectful when interacting with not only their parents, but with our students as well, regardless of their economic, racial or religious backgrounds. We must lead by example and show our children how to love one another respectfully

In retrospect, the blame game must stop; because at the end of the day it is detrimental for the kids that is who is hurt in the long run. We have to be passionate about what we do and we have to give it our all. We can only control what happens when the students are in our care. We must do what we can to ensure there is equity in all that we do; because as stated in the text- parents send their best child to school daily and we must do all that we

All people need and deserve respect, especially from those who we are closest and most intimately connected with (Swim, 2008). Respect is absolutely essential for a relationship to work. In order to respect someone we need to acknowledge that each person is a unique individual and learn how to mesh our needs with theirs so as to help them achieve what they want to achieve (Swim, 2008.). As an early childhood educator, it is vital that our interactions with our students and coworkers are positive and respectful. “Demonstrating respect is not just about feeling good; for young children, it is about adults acting intentionally to promote optimal development and learning” (Swim, 2008, par. 4). Magda Gerber, an early childhood educator, believed that it is important for there to be respect for parents and their needs as well as for their

You may not notice it, but respect plays a role in our daily lives. Respect follows you wherever you go. Whether it is in school, your home, or in a restaurant. You may not notice it that other people give you respect, but you do notice when they don’t. Even for the simplest reasons. If you are not respectful than you will not be respected.
