10. C. INTEGRITY:
Since the teacher’s work is not confined merely to the
development of certain fundamental skills and abilities
encompassed by the teaching of the 3R’s but also includes the
development of desirable habits and attitudes that go into the
formation of character, his manner of living should provide a
worthy example for his pupils and students to emulate for his
fellow teachers to be proud of, and for the community to feel
as being enriched by it.
