Unlocking Success: The Power of Etiquette in Education

MADING - 26 October 2023

Our educational journey shapes the very foundation of our character, influencing not just our knowledge but also our behavior. In the bustling hallways of every school, it's not just about the subjects we learn but also about the ethics we imbibe. As Judith Martin rightly says, "Freedom without rules doesn't work. And communities do not work unless they are regulated by etiquette." It's a testament that true freedom lies in understanding our boundaries and respecting them.

Did you know that a staggering 21% of Indonesian students have skipped school, and 52% reportedly arrive late? These statistics aren't merely numbers; they reflect the dire need for ethics in our educational system. Ethics, as defined in every educational environment, stands as a beacon of light. It guides us to make the right choices, setting standards about what is acceptable and what is not. By understanding and practicing ethics, students and teachers alike forge a path that is in harmony with the principles of integrity, honesty, and responsibility.

The heartwarming story of Ethan exemplifies the profound impact of etiquette. Even in unfamiliar terrains, the lessons of respect stay with us. A simple greeting, a small gesture, can light up someone's day, showcasing the ripple effect of positive behavior. This mirrors the essence that education isn't solely about academics. It's also about molding individuals who are respectful, considerate, and empathetic.

Embracing ethics in education is not just a responsibility; it's a human right. As we navigate through our academic journey, let's remember to be the diamond that refracts positivity and respect. As the poem suggests, "How much can love be compressed before we become a diamond?" Let's compress all our love, respect, and etiquette into our daily actions, shining brilliantly in our educational environment.
