Code of ethics help teachers creates a safe, productive, and positive learning
environment in their teaching career. Teachers are expected to maintain challenging
expectations that will improve the potential of all learners through meaningful and inclusive
participation in the classroom, school, and community.
On the other hand, I have had the idea of owning and managing a school since a long
time ago, but only today I found out the complication of making it to become true. Honestly,
if I were not assigned to make this reflection, then I might have not realized the path to
reach my dream is not going to be as easy as my imagination. Now, the biggest question is
should I go ahead or go home?
I have to admit that I had the hesitation. Often when I reflect on my teaching career, the
expression “Non scholæ sed vitæ is a Latin phrase. It means “We do not learn for school,
but for life”.” would keep flashing. Indeed, as a great teacher, we should be able to not only
teach them knowledge from the text book but also knowledge for life. This knowledge of
life is very important for them because they will learn from our life experience and mistakes.
In addition, I hope that later they will grow much better in handling every problem in their
life. Moreover, teachers are usually overloaded with work, despite relatively low paid.
However, we are expected to be able to make the students to be both academically
excellent and emotionally sated in their society.
In my point of view, joined The Professional Ethics class this semester has actually opened
my mind about the importance to be not only a great teacher but also great educator. This
class also in a way forced me to criticize myself. Every time I finish teaching my class, I recall
back to my way of teaching whether I was ethical or not, but somehow the images of them
being happy and active in the classroom strive me to continue with my dream that is own
and run a school with spiritual basis.
