Focus: Student Trying To Bribe a Teacher In Order To Pass the Exam

Teacher performance and the teaching and learning process has been greatly influenced by the teacher’s professional misconduct. Despite being in the noble profession, getting through great deal of knowledge, practical and detailed education, few teachers are found to be displaying and practicing unprofessional conduct. “Professionals are bound by the ethical codes of their professions” (Fass, 1986). While there are many types of misconduct that may give rise to a claim, most claims against professionals arise from the way they perform or fail to perform the services they offer. Ethical concerns about teachers and teaching occur in a variety

This was first incident when someone tried to bribe me, and in this case a student tried to bribe me. I also made the right decision by not accepting the bribe. This experience was also important and valuable as if I did accept the bribe and was caught then my career would have finished in just a while.

If they are directed in the right direction then our society will have less unethical issues, just as I have discussed in the essay. The student might not have been taught the right values which was why she tried bribing me. I also made the right decision by not taking the bribe.

Professional misconduct thus can be reduced or prevented by practicing the knowledge attained through Ethics in Education and as well as strict and fair monitoring by superiors. Despite dissemination of such knowledge, teachers’ still continue to breach the code of conduct and practice many unprofessional conducts. However, surely this course is an eye opener and reminder to the call of us being
