The values parents inculcate in their children can be dangerous towards their total well-being. Sometimes the examples parents set can influence their kids. When they vent their anger on their kids after a bad day at work, their kids will do the same as well. This is selfish and hurts innocent parties who bear the brunt of their moods. They can be insensitive to their children's feelings as well. They try to teach the children values to follow but do it in front of outsiders and embarrass them in the process.
Teaching is more than just academia. It consists of the mental, spiritual and emotional aspects as well. It is really a holistic focus. My secondary alma mater focused on developing the student as a person. Somehow this value has unconsciously infiltrated my internal system and I live it in the way I teach. I have little "chilling out" talks or lighter activities with my students if I think things are too heavy for them.
Sometimes gender doesn't affect the character of a person. To think that way is a clouded judgement. I was really unwell during tuition and trusted my student to do the work I had assigned. He did. It may be because he holds a leadership post in his CCA but I am still grateful to him.
