This week in October is National Week of Respect, One of the local schools in our area actually has a pledge to help remind people to have respect for other people. This is the pledge below.
“I PROMISE ON THIS DAY
TO BE KIND IN EVERY WAY
TO EVERYONE, BIG AND SMALL.”
I think this pledge is a good pledge on respect because it says to respect big and small, and to accept them for their differences.
The dictionary says the definition of respect is “esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person.” I think respect means to not be mean to someone and treat them like you want to be treated. If I saw someone being disrespectful I would tell them to knock it off. Respect can mean many things, like following a teacher's instructions, or being quiet when someone else is talking.
I think it would be a good idea for Navesink school to make its own pledge on respect to help to develop a healthy community and safe emotional environment
