INTRODUCTION
It is often said that the young people are the hope and future of the fatherland. But we can
change our perspective to say that they are more than our future because they are our NOW. One
of the social contexts of to become the now of society is the school. The school with positive adult
models works in a collaborative manner with other social agents to develop the learner holistically
as envisioned by the children which can train them Philippine K-12 curriculum. Part of school
learning is learning how to get along with different kinds of classmates and others as well. The
teacher, whether teaching GMRC or other subjects, has a major role to play as children observe
and internalize what they see in the teacher. S/he has to be a role model in her/his intra- and inter-
personal relationships. S/he walks what s/he talks in terms of the manners, virtues and values
demonstrated. Children are very observant and notice not only differences but more so how adults
respond to and value these differences. It is in this respect that the teacher should instill an
appreciation for diversity from the start.

ABSTRACTION
The home was our first classroom with. our parents as our first teachers. As young children,
we observed our parents and they became our role models. We observed, absorbed, internalized
and imitated their manners, values, habits, and practices, among others. There were good ones and
not so good ones. As we grew older, our social horizons expanded to include the school where we
met teachers, peers, school heads, community members and other parents. The various social

institutions galvanized our internalization of the values of respect, courtesy and politeness,
tolerance, fairness and self-control. Our good manners are a reflection of the values that we uphold
and we owe it to ourselves as teachers and pre-service teachers to be exemplar role models whom
learners under our care will imitate.

Let us now take a look at different values which we aspire our Generation Alpha to internalize.

A. Respect
The word respect is from the Latin word respectus which means attention, regard or
consideration. It can be defined as esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a
personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or
ability.
According to psychologists, respect is a basic moral value or need that makes us aware that
we are human beings and is related to productivity, happiness and success. It is like a glue that
holds relationships together. In the Philippine context, respect is paggalang as shown in our
pakikipagkapwa - tao, a shared sense of identity and consciousness of the other'. It means treating
people with respect and dignity as an equal, not someone below the individual.
Respect is very important for both and identity personal relationships. To feel respected is
a basic human right. If you respect others, interpersonal you care about their rights. Receiving
respect from others makes us feel safe to express ourselves. Disrespect can lead to break-ups and
even violence.
It is a concept that has to do with them. ability to value and honor another person, both his
or her words and actions, even if we do not approve or share everything the person does. It is
accepting the other person and not trying to impose or change him or her. Respecting another
person means that we are non-judgmental of other people's attitudes, behaviors or thoughts.
Our differences valuable create an identity. This implies that individual differences exist
and to accept the fact that as members of society we are equal.

Respect comes in different types. They are:

A. Respect for self
B. Respect for others

C. Respect Social Norms

D. Respect for nature
E. Respect for family
F. Respect for values
G. Respect for culture
H. Respect for national symbols
I. Respect for human beings
The home, the classroom and the community can be partners to develop children’s respect.
This synergy is needed if we look forward to raising a generation of respectful young persons.

B. Courtesy and Politeness

Courtesy is polite behavior that reflects good manners, respect and kindness to others. It
means avoiding sarcasm and overbearing behavior.
The home is the first seat of courtesy and politeness as with the other virtues and manners.
When members of the family are courteous to each other, that's how they will treat people outside
of their homes. A courteous child is easier to befriend than someone who has ill manners.
When children have good social skills, they are polite and courteous, they listen to others when
they speak, and use polite phrases such as "thank you" and "excuse me",

There are helpful tips to help teach our children and learners courtesy and politeness:

A. You first
This means that the parent is always the first and foremost teacher. When the child is in
school, the teacher becomes the second parent assuming the loco parentis role. Thus, parents
and teachers are expected to be positive examples to the child in terms of showing good
manners.
By modeling good manners, you are not only strengthening your child's social graces, but
also teaching him/her that being courteous and polite are a normal part of social interaction.

B. Turn up the tolerance

When your child or learner observes that you can tolerate and respect individual differences
you clearly convey the message thạt you accept diversity. Show them that differences with other
people in terms of color, appearance, size, status, or beliefs are fine with you.

C. Read the signs

Help children learn how to read people's emotional signs. You can act out by showing
different facial expressions and body language with the corresponding emotions. Encourage them
to pay attention to how others might be feeling and show them, through your examples, how to
react with courtesy, politeness, empathy, and compassion.

D. Mind your manners

Please, good afternoon greetings never go out of style. If a parent or teacher uses these
words for example in their daily transactions, delighted responses can be solicited from the
children. This is not a thank you difficult thing to do but can go a long way. The problem sometimes
is when children show courtesy and their actions are not responded to appropriately.

F. Lesson integration
The learning of a manner/ value can be integrated in a lesson. A sample scenario can be
presented such as interrupting an adult when adults are having a conversation. The exercise will
involve children waiting patiently for their turn until the adults are done with their conversation.
This can be demonstrated in a one-on-one situation or in a group setting. Parents and teachers
should not get easily discouraged because beginning a process will always be challenging. The
keys to helping children become courteous. and polite are patience and consistency.
G. Tolerance
Tolerance is generally understood as a necessary component of a functioning world
acceptance order. and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of
expression and ways of being human...Tolerance is harmony in difference."
Tolerance is often invoked is for which Tolerance as and societies should aspire, especially
given something individuals diversity, in all its forms, which is increasingly a feature of
contemporary democracies. When tensions arise, some leaders call for a greater tolerance" of
particular groups or encourage general-efforts to become “a more tolerant society." For example,
in 2004, then Secretary- General of the UN, Kofi Annan said, "Tolerance, intercultural dialogue
and respect for diversity are more essential than ever in a world where peoples are becoming more
and more closely interconnected" (United Nations, 2004).
Tolerance is a virtue. If we want to be treated decently, we need to treat them decently as
well.
Children are born to the world without biases or prejudices. the way they learn values and
beliefs from adult models and peers. Teaching tolerance can be done in various settings whether
at home or in school.
Along A parent can try these steps:

• Set a good example. Kids learn from observing your interactions with others. If you're
respectful to all people, your children will follow suit. Positive role modeling is the parent
ought to remember. starting point that every
• Expose your child to different cultures. The friendships your child has, can have a lasting
effect. The exposure to friends who differ from them in terms of socio-economic status,
municipality of origin, spoken language can facilitate their understanding of tolerance.
• Bring the message home. your child makes an insensitive remark, remind him/her of how
s/he feels when s/he isn't treated well by friends and ask him/her "How do you think that
boy felt when none of the kids would play with him because he is so big?"

• Treat your youngster with respect. If the child feels good about herself and is
confident about her place in the world, she will be less likely to be fearful of people
who are different from her. A child who feels secure in your love and has a positive
self-image will have no need to put someone else down to feel valuable or powerful.

A teacher can tolerance strategies: of these create a haven by engaging in these

strategies:

• Let Your Bulletin Boards

"Speak" The class bulletin board can display positive messages encouraging diversity,
tolerance, acceptance and making your classroom a safe space. Making your
classroom comfortable and accepting as a physical space can help students who are
struggling their personal lives, especially in students who have become victims of
bullying.
• Acknowledge Learner and Teacher Emotions
There are events in the life of the learner or teacher which are emotionally charged
like for example losing during the school's sports D. events. One of the best things to do
is to create a space where everyone can acknowledge those emotions and ask moderating
the discussion. questions freely while
• Explain Terms and Concepts Related to Current Events
The COVID 19 pandemic resulted in many changes in people's way of life. Parents and
teachers can explain what the pandemic is all about and how people can be kind to each
other and not discriminate especially the front-liners. Concepts of generosity and sharing
can be discussed within the family.
• Foster a Sense of Empathy in your Classroom
Many teachers consider empathy as the antidote to bullying, and there's data to back that
up. You can bring more empathy into your teaching by encouraging critical thinking and
self-reflection.

Most students, and in fact most people, see themselves as the underdog in their lives and
helping the class understand the nature of that vulnerability can make a safer space for
your students.

• Lead by Example
Time and time again to lead by example is emphasized. We need to remember that our
learners look up to use and watch what we do. We can create a higher standard of

behavior by showing our learners how to treat others with tolerance, respect, and
sympathy.

C. Fairness
There are times that when people think of fairness they think of it as equality, too. They are
actually two different things because fairness has to do with giving everyone what he or she needs
and deserves. On the other hand, equality is giving everyone the same thing or amount, regardless
of the circumstances.
Children in the elementary grades are concrete thinkers as theorized by Piaget. Thus, fairness
can be an abstract concept to them. Children especially the younger ones tend to be naturally
egocentric, so they tend to think of themselves first. They will probably be challenging for young
identify a situation or action that works against them as unfair, but will have difficulty identifying
an as action they perform as unfair to others. Fairness is especially children to understand. With
other traits, like kindness or responsibility, there are concrete actions to observe which may
provide a basic understanding of the concept itself. However, fairness is found in the way we treat
one another, the way in which we play a game, the way in which live life, etc.
Examples of being fair include playing by the rules, taking turns, Sharing and listening to
others, being people, among open-minded, respecting people, being supportive of friends, others.
Wrongly blaming or punishing somebody for something, excluding other children from play or
not giving one person the chance to explain one's Side are examples of unfairness.

Teachers can benefit by remembering these tips on how to be fair and ethical inside the classroom.

D. Self Control

Self-Control Temptations abound. Studies or social media? Water or soda? Cut classes or
attend classes? Drugs or cigarettes? Fast foods or vegetables? The choices are endless and
sometimes our self- control and will power be put to a test. Self- control is the ability to
manage one's impulses, emotions, and behaviors to achieve long-term goals. This is unique
in human beings and this separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Self-control is
primarily rooted in the prefrontal problem- solving and decision-making center of the brain
which is significantly cortex the planning, other mammals. The richness of nerve
connections in the prefrontal cortex enables people to plan, evaluate alternative actions,
and ideally avoid doing things they'Il later regret, rather than immediately respond to every
larger humans than in impulse as it arises.

Self-control has three main parts:

• Monitoring which involves keeping track of your thoughts, feelings and actions. In one
study, first-year female college students who weighed themselves every day, compared
with those- who did not, were buffered from the typical weight gain that accompanies the
first year in college (Levitsky et al., 2006). The same is true when it comes to our money.
Keeping track of how much we save and spend relates to having more money.

• Standards are guidelines that steer us toward desirable responses. Our standards originate
from society and culture. Think of the speed limit sign that tells you how fast to drive or
the laws that tell you. to pay your taxes. Follow the rules, and you'll be fine. Break the
rules, and there will be consequences. We also have personal standards that govern our
behavior. If I have certain religious beliefs, I might think that it is inappropriate to eat
certain foods, think certain thoughts or feel certain emotions.

• Strength refers to the energy we need to control our impulses. Numerous factors affect
our self- such as mental control strength, exhaustion and stress. Effective self- control
hinges on all three ingredients working together. Without monitoring, you know what you
need to do and have the energy to do it, but you struggle to accomplish much because you
do not keep track of, your progress. A world without standards is a recipe for chaos.
Chronically depleted self- control strength can leave people with the knowledge of what
they should do without giving them the energy to do it. Like a three- legged stool, kick off
one self-control Ingredient and the odds are that your self-control will topple over.
