Do we always think about our actions? Sometimes we act automatically, because we were taught to do certain things, especially when we were children, or because we think it is our obligation, or maybe because we saw other people do things that we believe to be correct. But maybe it is necessary to take the time to think if what we are doing is truly a good thing. Just because something is done by many people doesn't mean it is correct, right? Children learn from what we teach them on a lesson, but also from what we teach them with our actions, inside and outside the school. Adults are they role models, but not everyone is a good influence for a child. How about teaching them to think critically and reflect on their actions? And when it comes to reflecting on what is good and bad, ethics plays a vital role. What do you think?

Adri, I agree with you in that teachers teach values and traditions with their acts.
Adults in general, and the teaching community in particular, need to remember that they are models for children and teenagers in order to consider or reconsider what they want to teach them
Hello Adri,I agree with you in the sense that we should ask ourselves if what everybody does is the correct thing to do and not just act automatically.And of course, I agree on the fact that teachers teach not just trough their words but also troght their acts.

Hi Adriana!
I once saw a poster that read: "If a million people do something wrong, it's still WRONG". Apparently, it's a Chinese proverb, though I can't make sure. Anyway, what matters is the idea, right?
Now, I meant to ask you: what do you mostly remember from your teachers? The subject-matter they discussed, their words, or the examples they set? Which of these do you think has mostly influenced your life?
Love,
Gladys
Hi Gladys!
Teachers' behaviour is what makes thaem memorable, no the subject they teach but how they teach it. It's their way of theaching,in and out the classroom. It's what they teach even whithout aiming at that, I mean, values and attitudes.
I agree 100%, Adri! So the more we can do to become aware of them and choose what we'e actually aiming at, the better, don't you think so?
Happy blogging!
Gladys
