Ethics in TeachingEthics should be a major concern when a teacher decides how to teach and what he or she plans to teach. Ethics are the morals a person believes in. A central concern is a main idea. I looked up pedagogy in the dictionary and its definition is the state or art of teaching. Therefore, when I hear the phrase "Ethics must be considered a central concern of critical pedagogy", uttered by Henry A. Giroux, I believe he means that morality used in teaching must be considered with great esteem and also with great attention. when a teacher teaches. Ethics in teaching can have both positive and negative effects on students. I think primary and secondary school teachers should set an example for their students. They can do this by being responsible, treating people fairly, and respecting their elders. When a student sees their teacher doing this, then they will want to be like the teacher and follow their example. Many students do not have a very positive environment at home. Teachers can be the only image of a good citizen. Once a student enters high school, they have already developed their own morals and values. This is a time when a teacher can get into a lot of trouble when giving their opinion on certain topics such as religion, race, and abortion. The teacher should try to avoid talking about these topics whenever possible. Teachers should always serve as an example of a good human being to children by treating people fairly, being courteous and responsible. In Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Freire often speaks of two contrasting styles of teaching. One involves a banking concept in which the teacher is lecturing all the time and trying to put the information into the student's head as if he were a robot..
