Professional Ethics of Teachers

Posted by teacher on September 24, 2009

Teachers who consider their job as a profession, work only for pay cheque. Their work is considered useful for their own sake. Since perchance they have occupied a professional chair they try for their own good, at the cost of others. But our cultural heritage proves that true teachers are those who consider their job as honourable . Such teachers work with a sense of self-fulfilment and self-realization. Prof. George Herbet Palmer once rightly said, “If Harvard does not pay me to teach, I would gladly pay Harvard for the privilege of teaching”. This should be the professional value of any teacher. An ideal teacher should not work with pecuniary motives, but with a sense of education and for the cause of education.
