Character
education
involves specific,
targeted efforts to communicate and integrate into the lives of children
and youth widely shared, core character qualities (e.g. caring,
citizenship, fairness, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness). A school
and larger education community committed to character education explicitly
names and publicly stands for specific core character qualities like
these, shares the qualities among members of the school and community,
defines them in terms of behaviors that can be observed, practices them,
studies and discusses them, and honors them by holding all representatives
of school and community accountable to standards of conduct consistent
with the qualities.
What
do students learn from character education?
One
of the ways to answer that question is to hear from the students
themselves.
ATTITUDE
by
Tiffany Bradley
I can be kind and positive, I can be nasty and negative, I can make a
heart or break a heart, I can make you cry or feel ashamed, I can be
tolerated if I am good.
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
I can make you look bad, I can stop you from receiving things you want,
like a job, a loan a scholarship, even friends. I can make you look
pretty; I can get you things that you never thought you could never have.
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
I can make you loved. I can make you hated it's all in your approach, I
can start you off good, and finish you off great I can make the man say
"I loved him he was great we'll accept him to our school." Or
"thank you we'll hire you". I can even get you denied or fired,
it's all up to you.
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
I can give you potential, I can get you ahead, I can make your day or I
can destroy your day!
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
I come in many different languages, vogues, preppy, or plain, I am a
reaction, a defense, an opinion, a charm, a characterization, and a first
impression!
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
With all the many places I've been, and all the people that I've come
across, I always manage to be the star that shines the most. I'm always
the one though stand out before every other .I'm always the first thing
noticed!
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
I can be kind and positive. I can be nasty and negative; It's all up to
you and your approach on life. I am all these things above and more, but
it's up to you to decide on how to manage me!
I AM YOUR ATTITUDE!
