How many times we have heard tell parents of family: rotten school! Hence they do not educate our children. Don’t teach them to obey, to behave to practice values. My child does not learn because it has bad teachers. That big mistake held accountable for to the teacher or the school of this situation. In reality, education starts at home and there it ends.
That is, if students have well-founded their moral principles, the values that the family has instilled in them; at school practicing them, strengthen them and some acquire them. But it is in vain to try to teach values when within the family there is no respect among its members. There is alienation, lack of communication or violence. It is impossible to want to do good in school children, when there is not the slightest disposition of the family to foster good habits, healthy habits and basic moral values that should characterize the individual as a social entity. Values education is everyone’s responsibility: family, school and society.
A home is the core of harmony, affection and cohabitation. Love, trust, loyalty, among many other values must be shown. It is not enough for parents to tell their children: behave well, sit properly, wash your hands before eating and going to the bathroom, do the homework. We need to lead by example, be a positive role model to imitate. If in the family atmosphere reigns peace, respect, solidarity, understanding and support, surely children will do the same where they are: school, Park, social gatherings, film, etc. And if on the contrary, the daily routine is physical abuse, insults, rancour, violent discussions, disorder, the same will be reflected in the behavior of students in the school. However, is shared responsibility of teachers promoting values, persuade the trainees of the benefits generated by being an individual with moral probity. Insist on the cordial treatment, discipline, coexistence, honesty and absolute respect for the rights of others. What textbooks they say, it is only the reference to an advisable attitude socially speaking. True meaningful learning, Metacognition, will be given to models to imitate are the best, those who preach with example. The theory is just that, live and experience what we learn to assess its dimension is required. It is not by others convert the educational work in a constant values training. We make more of what we do, but do it well. Thinking and acting. Being consistent with our philosophy of life and our personal project.
