I am a science teacher in a government school. Science exhibition of all distinct schools was to be held in our school in the year 2025.
Since a lot of arrangements were to be made for the district science exhibition, our principal madam made a committee of ten students and ten teachers to look into arrangements for the same big event at school.

Twenty members of the team used to report to our school principal madam on each Sunday and other holidays for 2 hours. This arrangement was made by the school so that the valuable time of students and teachers could be saved for #academic activities on working days.
Mr Anup Singh was a senior teacher of our school. My friend Radha(mathematics teacher) was the new entry to school.
Mr. Anup Singh was a gentleman and dedicated teacher of the school. But somehow he was stuck with his #problem. His son Rakesh was not able to cope with mathematics subjects in his school.
Somehow Mr Anoop Singh thought that Radha's maths teacher would be able to help his son Rakesh with Mathematics assignments when Radha came to school to help with the assignment of science exhibition arrangements.
Radha being new to school school was not able to say no to such an arrangement. Our principal madam did not like Radha teaching maths to Rakesh during that period. Madam was expressing her dis pleasure in the grey shade to Radha.
Radha expressed her difficult #position in which she is not able to say no to Mr Anup to me.
I said” Radha you have your values in #life. You can’t be present for science exhibition preparation and teaching Mathematics to Rakesh at the same time, as you are not dual. It is up to you to decide and please take #decision accordingly. Please take out your mask of remaining quiet about this important issue.”
Radha thought for a while and took courageous step of saying no to Mr Anoop Singh. She said ” Anoop sir, off and on if some difficulties of mathematics problems are to be solved, I can help Rakesh. But this type of arrangement which you are suggesting is making me go against my teaching #ethics.
Mr. Anoop Ji got a message from Radha and from that day onwards he did not bring Rakesh to school for the mathematics assignment.
Moral – The best is never to go against your values. If the need arises please be #bold and spell your point of view with #courage.
