Responsibility
Responsibility is an essential requirement of the teacher. He must be absolutely trustworthy. The teacher who shoulders his responsibility, will not neglect the least part of his work because he believes he is underpaid. Should he know that the welfare of a child demands his attention, outside of school hours, he should not fail to aid the child, though it be really no part of his school duties. The rights of the pupils will be guarded as sacred by the responsible teacher. He, too, will care for the property of the school as though it were his, and even more so, for he is entrusted with its care. The greatest safety for any school is a conscientious teacher under whom parents can place their children for moral, physical and spiritual instructions.
