Teaching ethics in schools
Students need moral education to help them resist the ever present appeal to narrow self-
interest. They need it to enable them to find their way between the tyranny of unquestionable
moral codes and the bankruptcy of individualistic moral values. They need it to help them
engage productivity across their differences rather than habitually responding to difference with
suspicion or prejudice. On the larger scale and over the long term our society needs it in order to
sow the seeds of a healthy way of life in such things as politics, law, business and industrial
relations.
Selfishness, dogmatism, prejudice and mutual antagonism – such things are in plentiful supply in our society and
we should not pretend otherwise. Yet rather than empathize with one another as if there is nothing to be done,
we can help to bring about improvement through moral education.
We need to teach students to develop good skills of judgment. We need to teach students to resolve differences
amongst each other through discussions rather than enjoy in personal attacks; to develop the habit of becoming
more communicative and inclusive. Such a habit formation shall help build a more morally intelligent society.

WHAT INDEPENDENCE MEANS TO US?
INDEPENDENCE the word suggests
that each & every person in the society
is free to perform each and every task
he is capable and involved in. Liberty
matters in each & every person’s life. In
my life independence matters a lot. I
sometimes think that what great spirits
were all the inhabitants who lived the
difficult life during the rule of the
Britishers! Our nation got independence
on August 15, 1947.
The independence struggle was first
started by Mangal Pandey. Including
him many great sprits like Mahatma
Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr.
Rajendra Prasad, Queen of Jhansi &
many more took initiative & led our
country towards the heaven of freedom.
Today when I read the patriotic poems
& stories written by the poets & authors
that time, tears come in my eyes &
become refreshed. I won’t have been
able to take education, I would work, I
would not visit places & we all would be
puppets. So let’s thank all our freedom
fighters & commemorate our 67th
Independence Day.
Mst. Sahil Tatkare * Std. – VIII
15th of August for many is just another
holiday, the first of many over a long
festival season. It’s a day of putting a
tricolor on our car bonnets and
changing our caller tunes to patriotic
songs like “Sare Jahan Se Accha....”
and other frivolous gestures.
Sometimes the true value of the day is
lost in our activities and holiday
schedules.
In reality it should be the time to think
about the freedom fighters who gave
up their families, their friends and
sometimes their lives. “I am proud to
be an Indian”, why do we get this
thought only on 15th August or 26th
January. What we should not forget is
that Independence is not what we feel
but what we make of it, Independence
is not about our rights but our duties
towards the nation and most
importantly Independence is having
freedom without having to own it. It is
having a freedom of choice of what I
want to do and what I may do.
Indeed it is the most precious gift our
forefathers have given us and we have
to cherish and preserve it over all else.
