Abstract

Teachers have tremendous influence on the moral development of children. Parents entrust their children to teachers and believe that teachers behave ethically in the classroom, transmit values upheld by society, and serve as moral models for their students (Sirotnik, 1990). Today, the influence of schools and teachers increases as the influence of family, church, and community decreases.
