English Teacher Behaves Properly and Modestly
As a western 38-year-old with a background in humanities and arts, my values dictate that one should always dress and behave appropriately in every situation. Recently, I came across a short video blog by the popular online personality, Tangerine Heart, featuring her pet cat, Yuzu. The subject of the video depicted a young child, Nouuu, who was in the process of learning how to be a well-mannered individual. Upon watching the video, I was impressed by the young child's behavior and was encouraged that others were promoting proper etiquette and modesty.
The Importance of Modesty in Education
In my experience as an English teacher, I have found that modesty is an essential component of a student's personal growth and development. It teaches students how to be humble, respectful, and mindful of the needs of others. It also discourages arrogance and self-centeredness, which are detrimental to a student's success in both learning and interacting with others.
Setting an Example for Our Youth
Teachers, parents, and adults should always strive to set a good example for young people. This means dressing modestly, displaying good manners, and speaking in a respectful tone. We must also teach young people to be respectful of others and to understand the values of modesty and humility.
Addressing the Effects of Popular Culture
In today's society, popular culture often promotes styles of dress and behavior that are contrary to modesty and appropriate behavior. As educators, parents, and adults, it is our responsibility to counteract this narrative by teaching young people about the importance of modesty, both in what they wear and how they behave. It requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to lead by example.
The Rewards of Modesty
Ultimately, the rewards of modesty are significant. It promotes a sense of self-respect and dignity, fosters greater harmony and cooperation between individuals, and helps to create a more inclusive and compassionate society. As English teachers, we must encourage our students to embrace these values, not only in their language learning but in their life learning as well.
In Conclusion
As we move forward in our efforts to educate the next generation, it is vital that we place an emphasis on modesty and appropriate behavior. By doing so, we can help to create a society that values respect, compassion, and inclusivity, and that can thrive in a world of diversity and change.
