Attitude towards Teachers

  • Students should look upon their school-mates as brothers/ sisters and upon their teachers and superiors as fathers/mothers.
  • Respect every teacher whether of your own class or not. Be grateful towards those who taught you in the past. Show your teachers those exterior signs of reverence to which they are entitled, such as, greeting them whenever you meet them.
  • Be convinced that your teachers deeply feel their serious obligation of promoting your welfare in the best way they possibly can, and that in advising, commanding and correcting you, they have nothing else in view but your own good.
  • After piety, study is most praiseworthy. Therefore, your first occupation must consist in doing the tasks assigned to you by your teachers.
  • Always rise when your teachers enter the class and again when they leave. If they delay in coming do not make any noise, but wait for them in your places in silence reviewing your lesson or reading some book.
  • During class avoid whispering or interrupting.
