Moral Education

While I was growing up, I always had my parents around 24/7 of the time. They would never let me leave their sight for a split second, like I was some sort of treasure for them. One thing they have always taught me, was to have respect, manners and morals. I was always told to never interrupt an adult while they were talking. I was taught how to act at a diner table and how I should represent my self. Most importantly, I was taught by my parents to always have the ten commandments in mind, every time I mad a decision. My parents were responsible for my moral education because without them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Form my experience of growing up with my parents, they taught me a lot about moral education. There was never really a teacher or a family member who took the time to teach me how to act or teach me right from wrong. I think when I was younger, I already knew right from wrong, but from my surroundings it seemed that a lot of kids weren’t as lucky as I was. Many of the kids would tell story’s of how they stole candy from a corner store or how they would come home very late. From finding out the backgrounds of the kids, most of them had a single parent, or some had step mom’s or step dad’s. At that time I knew parents had to play a big role on teaching their children moral education.
I never really thought that teachers helped their students to become morally educated. The reason behind that was because they have a lot of students and the have their own problems or children to worry about. I am not saying that all teachers are like that, but there a few that do care about their students. Basically, parents are responsible for our every movement, after all we are a miniature of our own parents. They are the ones who brought us to this world, and a child is never to be blamed for his/her action.
