Has ever morall lessons of school learnt ever came in handy or gave you something of a positive outcome.
For me it has never worked and it made things worse for me for example
Once I was inspired by a lesson Ronnie the rope climber maybe you had even learnt that as well.
Where the MF 🤣 goes to the top of the rope and couldn't touch the end and comes back but it was too high that nobody suspected and thought he touched it and gave him prize 🏆.
But Ronnie being Ronnie told the truth and instead of disqualifying him the judges chose to give him another chance and then he goes like lighting bolt and touches end of the rope and rings some bells.
And the judges give him the trophy 🏆. I said nice truth triumphs.
Now me
One day I didn't do my home work for a particular subject maybe was in grade 5th then the teacher is coming to every bench and asking for the reason to students who didnot do
Boy 1 I forget the homework at home Teacher ok.
Boy2 I brought a different book. Teacher ok Boy 3 dog ate my book Teacher ok.
Boy 4 : I didn't do the homework (fck Ronnie) I was like yeah I am honest I will be let go off
Teacher : how dare you say that to me , what do you think of yourself to blantly tell me that you didn't do it where's my stick she couldnt find one. Then she goes to another class calls my class teacher and tells her see this boy how daring he is to tell me he has not done his home work Me but I am telling the truth then they take a steel scale and hit my hand.
I remember this incident in the US. I took a summer English course during my summer vacation. My parents thought it'd be beneficial (I wasn't a bad student but I only spoke Japanese fluently). I think I was 8 or 9 years old at the time.
At the end of the summer course, the teacher had bags full of candies. She said everyone who tried their best deserves a bag of candy. So she went around to each student asking, "Did you try your best?" The student would say, "Yes!" and she'd say she's proud and give them the bag of candy.
Then she came around to me and I said, "No, I could have studied a bit harder," even though I was one of her best students. Then she frowned and didn't give me any candy! I was just being honest or maybe taking the notion of "trying our best," very literally. I always found room for improvement; I'd be dead if I tried my best at anything. I never try my best; I always relax here and there, enjoy some distractions, spend time eating food, sleeping, etc. I don't even understand what that saying really means still.
But for the most part with the exception of such incidents where I was punished for doing what I believed to be the right thing, I still think my values have paid off in the long run. Morality as I see it is like being a good Poker player. It doesn't guarantee anything. It just improves our probability of long-term success.
It depends on the people you interact with. Some teachers lie to their students so they tend to favor other liars with excuses. Other teachers, like me value honesty and trustworthiness, and over time the student gets rewards for consistent honesty with me, they are trusted with certain responsibilities which leads to them getting more rewards. Plus if there is student conflict, I believe them over other students that have a history of lying.
So it really depends. Sometimes being honest pays off in the long run (rarely does it pay off instantly) and other times it doesn't pay off. My advice would be to first figure out if your teacher is a trustworthy person to begin with because that will show you what they value.
Thus is so sad 😭 I hope you weren’t too hurt. I think moral stuff only ever pays off internally like I feel at peace and sometimes people spire hate it but as far as tangible results, I think at least on my culture, Mostly when you are manipulative and deceitful you get ahead 🤷🏻♀️
No. And I get what you’re saying. But moral values don’t have to yield a practical benefit. Even if you don’t get anything out of it, you still have the satisfaction of knowing you did the right thing.
Wow, I can't believe the stuff I remember on this site. When I was in 7th grade there was a big power failure one night. I went outside and ran around my neighborhood with my friends with some flashlights. I did not get my homework done. The next day there were a lot of people who said they did not do the homework because there were no lights. I just said that i just didn't get it done. The teacher asked me if it was because of the power failure. I said no, I just did not do it. He still let me pass it in late.
I dont recall being taught morals in school. I just remember “say please and thank you”and “say yes ma’am and no sir” and “respect your elders” and “keep yor hande to yourself” and “sharing is caring”. I do none of those really but those were mostly taught by Barney the Dinosaur or parents. I dont remember schools teaching outside the books.
All schools really taught is “Dont tattle tale” which is why a lot of bullying continues to go free. And then i do remember “you are responsible for your actions” but that was taught at church 🤷♀️
“Karma” is ephemerally real. In that if you are moral, you will surround yourself by moral people. Thus good things will happen. And the reverse is true.
Doesn’t mean bad guys don’t win. In fact, the most successful are sociopathic in a lot of ways.
never allow yourself to be beaten in any way. Your teacher tries to beat you again you take a pencil and drive it as hard into their hand or arm as you can. Fuck these child abusers
