Recently a couple of teachers commented that the answer sheets for multiple choice questions (MCQ) were deliberately designed in such a way as to make copying difficult for exam candidates during exams. This had triggered the juice in my grey matter to flow and it kept me thinking about integrity, a value we valued greatly from others but seldom from ourselves.
Honesty, the basis of integrity, was once thought to be the best policy. However, nowadays, honesty no longer enjoyed that status anymore. At times, honesty was even regarded as stupid or inappropriate. When there was no honesty, how could integrity exist?
How should our educational system promote integrity? How should one instill honesty within a child? For me, leading by example is the only foreseeable approach. People around our kids, namely the adults they can and should trust, must live by example. Do you agree? Please comment...
