The Teacher and the Community: Teacher's Ethical and Professional Behavior
The mother of Brenda was once a public school teacher. When Brenda was in her preschool age her mother taught in the remote barrios of the town and so where her mother was assigned the family went along. Brenda vividly remembers how her mother was dearly loved by the community. She was teacher, counsellor and consultant to everyone who came. She was indeed a missionary. Her transfer to another school was always an emotional one, a mother crying, too. To top it all, the one most touching etched in Brenda's memory was one community leader had a big rooster. So many wanted to buy that rooster but refused to sell it. On the eve of our departure, he butchered it for that last evening meal with them. Brenda never forgot such act of generosity. In their poverty, these people can give all.
