Integrity
I was annoyed that my integrity was questioned. I have a different opinion on things as does the person that questioned it. I believe in an open-door policy, communication between one another, and other’s privacy.
I believe in honesty and telling the truth when asked but, and yes, there is a BUT to this, if that truth happens to be a factor (whether you like it or not) in ruining a relationship between two people or a group of people and those people didn’t have anything to do with how the conversation came about, do you risk it? And I’m sure that person “didn’t” mean to risk anything but that person did. And I do believe that person did only because it was demanded of that person. Still, there are ways to maturely handle a situation and still be honest about it. Doing so displays your level of trust, that you are accountable for your actions, and let’s not forget, responsibility. Apparently and sadly, that wasn’t the case and because it wasn’t, my integrity was questioned.
Because I saw outside the box. Because I described it as “ratting” someone out. Because I believe in privacy. Because my teaching values don’t equivilate to the way others teach. My integrity was questioned and that annoyed me.
