Moral values are standards that help an individual choose between right and wrong or good and bad. This understanding is necessary to make honest, credible, and fair decisions and relations in daily life.

Talking about hygiene with your students is never easy.  Trying to throw hints never works because they can’t smell themselves and sometimes have no idea that they smell.  Every year, teachers ask me to address this issue with specific students.

The kid who refuses to do their work, and even loudly tells you, “no!” when you try to politely give some encouragement. The student who jokes about your class being dumb, causing an eruption of laughter in the room.
