chapter 4

I said, “See, Vicky, I know everything about you. You are very intelligent. You have a lot of information in your subjects. Your discipline is also good, I know that. A few minutes before you admitted this fact. You have also said that your students also like you. Now, there is only one thing left and that is professionalism.”He said, confused, “What do you mean by professionalism? I know about my profession. I love my profession. It’s a very noble profession. I love my students. I know how to be a professional teacher. I am very fair in giving marks too.”I laughed, “Haha!”Vicky - Hey, why are you laughing? I laughed and said, “Haha! It’s not about professionalism what you said now.”Vicky - Then what the hell the professionalism is!I smiled and said, “Professionalism is the way to deal with the principal and the staff members.”He said confidently, trying to prove me wrong, “It’s not the definition of professionalism. I will tell you what professionalism is. Professionalism refers to the conduct, behavior, and attitude expected of individuals within a particular profession or workplace environment. It encompasses a set of qualities, skills, and standards that reflect competence, integrity, respect, responsibility, and ethical behavior in one's interactions and activities within the professional sphere.”
