‘We Have A Responsibility Towards Our Children’

Bindu Sharma, principal of Army Public School, Birpur shares insights about the teachers’ responsibilities of imparting values to the children after the school received an award for leadership and inspirational values.

“A Leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way” – John C Maxwell

It is a very satisfying and cheerful experience to receive the leadership and inspirational values award at a recent conclave, and the award brings greater responsibility on our shoulders. In the society where moral values are gradually depleting, receiving such an award means a lot to us at school.

I feel we educationists are the torch bearers who have to constantly go on kindling this flame of universal human values such as truth, righteous conduct, peace, love and non-violence. These values are essentially acquired during childhood, first in the home and then at school and go a long way in the character building of the child.

No doubt clouds of value crisis are dark in the sky of life, but there is always a silver lining in the dark clouds. So, education is the need of the hour, which will take the learners near the sea of values and in the education system, teacher have the most important role to play in the whole process.

Teacher may play an important role inculcating values among students. Teachers are the ideals and role models to their pupils. The most important aspect is that they should set good examples of conduct and behaviours that the student can imbibe.

It is imperative that we remember that values are caught, not taught. While formal training for values is certainly applicable, trying to teach a value to a child without actually implementing it yourself is a futile exercise. It would be wise to keep reminding ourselves that children learn more from observation than from anything else.

Perhaps if every teacher spent just five minutes every day on giving students tips and pep talks on values, manners and good habits, educators would be closer to their goal of encouraging students to become not only morally-oriented beings, but also critical thinkers, who would be able to distinguish between right and wrong for themselves, and ultimately embrace right.

In the fast-paced digital world that we live in, value education has acquired utmost importance. The mechanized lives we lead more often than not to desensitize and dehumanize us. Value education is the need of the hour. If parents, teachers and the community join hands, value education can definitely be imparted successfully to children, thereby realizing the dream of making them fine citizens and above all good human beings.
