«Клянусь научить всему, что знаю сам» Накануне Дня учителя прошел финал всероссийского конкурса «Учитель года-2004»
Участники конкурса готовили сочинения на тему «Клятва учителя». Возможно, тексты, созданные на основе этих работ, лягут в основу клятвы Российского учителя по аналогии с клятвой Гиппократа, которую дают медики.
Из клятвы, написанной Александром Васильевичем Рахно, учителем из Омской области:
Чему бы я ни учил, научить учеников своих всему, что знаю, ничего не скрывая, не искажая и не замалчивая. Обучая, постоянно учиться самому, не утратив до конца дней своих стремление к знанию, и воспитать в своих учениках это высокое стремление.
Видеть и уважать в ученике личность, не повредить ему словом или делом, но защитить его от несправедливости, оградить по мере сил своих от посягательств на его здоровье и жизнь, честь и достоинство.
Воспитать своих учеников достойными людьми и достойными гражданами и патриотами великой России.
Уважать своих коллег и наставников, поддерживать их и помогать им в нашем общем деле, не опускаясь до вражды, хулы и клеветы.
Не употреблять свой авторитет, знания и высокое звание Российского учителя в корыстных, недостойных или неблаговидных целях.
И пусть все, что я совершу на этом поприще, послужит славе, величию и процветанию моей Родины – Великой России!
