Be truthful is a core value for everyone, but especially for educators. Telling the truth, though we are uncomfortable at times, should be a rule of life, a duty to those around us and expect the best from us.
dictionary SAR indicates that truthful means sincere, frank, telling the truth. The truth makes us worthy to receive the trust of others. And teachers get the trust of many people: our students, who swear by us parents, who put in our hands to your children, and our superiors, who rely on our capacity for teaching and the reputation of the school; and the wider community, which relies on our educational work as a basis for social progress and development. Truthfulness implies
aware of our strengths and potentials but, more importantly, means admitting our faults and limitations, trying to overcome and in any case, admit to others that we are imperfect beings, to human after all, in the process of continuous learning.
often not told the truth to look good to those around us, eager for acceptance or fearful of losing rank or the love of our students. And this raises a number of problems, both of us, vendors of falsehood, and in those around us, consumers of lies. A vicious circle is then difficult to break without some of the party does badly damaged.
If we become aware of our limitations, we assume as such and as capable of being overcome, we strengthen our self-esteem and increase our capacity for empathy, better understanding of the limitations and mistakes of those around us. In this way we will strengthen the relationship between teacher and student, we are not awaiting the approval of others but on the contrary, we will our best to improve ourselves and to help overcome the others.
The one else knows, or cognitive level has been reached, should be more humble and aware of its limitations. Unfortunately, the pride and arrogance of these people tend to take over, and his ego will not let them realize it.
Part of teaching others, of the teaching at all levels, lies in accepting that you can always learn from others, we are not perfect and we do not know everything. And this is not us less than anybody. On the contrary, humility is perhaps the greatest of virtues, and now scarce in the academic cloisters. Our officers and pupils should learn by example. Life is a continuous learning and always, higher than we are, there will be someone better than us.
When studying expertise in San Marcos, had studied under a famous doctor, who took advantage of every opportunity to prove that he knew everything and, worse, to humiliate those who dared to ask something or elaborate on a topic. One night we had an idea. He worked on the photocopy Clarita Contreras Quispe, a beautiful teenage girl almost still, he called the attention of teachers and students. So, in the middle class, when the doctor made a show of his wisdom about higher education in Peru, was asked if references to the book "The university and the life: cognition and metacognition," written by Dr. Clara Quispe Contreras, distinguished professor emeritus of our beloved house of studies and expert on the subject. The doctor, with the face of superiority, we stated that the work was his bedtime reading, a reading which always returned, and that Dr. Quispe was his favorite author, and even had a copy autographed by her. We just looked at each other each other with wry smiles. Clarita course, had not written any books in his life, and just recently completing his secondary education. What use
diplomas and degrees if we fail to admit our imperfect human nature. Let us never forget that pride and lies lead to nothing. The truth must always accompany it is a duty we owe to social work with us is implicit: to realize our mistakes to correct. After all, friends, sooner or later the truth always comes to light.
