What does teaching honesty mean?

The so-called honesty teaching means that teachers should adhere to the principle of practicing the law of honesty throughout their teaching career, not greedy for money and things of students and parents, not greedy for money and things of the public and others, not contaminated with some bad habits such as greed, bribery and lewdness that appear in society, and always set an example for students and the world with clean and pure moral products. ?

Here, we should especially remind the teachers that under the influence of money worship, hedonism and individualism, a very small number of teachers seek personal gain by teaching and are keen on "paid tutoring", which seriously affects the image of people's teachers and has a strong public opinion. If this problem is not solved well, it will inevitably affect the development of education and the construction of socialist spirit.

Incorruptible teaching is the seventh norm in the Code of Professional Ethics for Primary and Secondary School Teachers, which requires teachers to have noble sentiments, carry forward the spirit of dedication, consciously resist the influence of bad social atmosphere, and not to use their powers for personal gain.

The necessity of honesty education;

First, honesty is the premise of teachers' personality. Han Yu, a writer and educator in the Tang Dynasty, famously said, "A teacher is a teacher, so he preaches, teaches and dispels doubts". He regards "preaching" as the primary task of teachers. However, if teachers want to educate people through preaching, they must first cultivate their own self-cultivation, be noble in thought and morality, and be clear and honest, so as to teach students by example.

Second, honesty is the new requirement of society and people for teachers. Because education is to educate future generations with advanced ideas, knowledge and technology accumulated by human beings, inherit human civilization and continue and develop human history and culture. Therefore, people are particularly cautious when choosing and determining teachers, and they must choose those who are virtuous, well-behaved and knowledgeable. It is precisely because these candidates stand out from the crowd that they can become teachers.

Third, honesty is the moral basis of teacher education. The purpose of teachers' teaching and educating people is to cultivate talents for the society, and to educate and guide the broad masses of young students' outlook on life, world outlook, values and morality towards the talents needed by all classes. Traditionally, talent standards include both morality and talent, and the ruling class in all societies regards "morality" as the primary standard of talent.
