The Cycle Must Be Broken

An important aspect of working in schools is to help children to try their best, respect others, show manners and grace, learn from their experiences, develop confidence and resilience and to help others. 

Also, that everyone is unique.

In short - to set a good example.

People 'above' us, the ones who love power but perpetually shake responsibility, revel in doing exactly the opposite.

Liars, crooks and cheats know how to 'get on' but despite their exalted status they have no desire whatsoever to set a good example to anyone.

Just imagine if all school staff behaved in such a sneeringly deplorable manner.

Yes; things would be even worse than they are now.

Role models are needed now, more than ever before.

The cycle must be broken.
