As a human being, moral values play an important role in our life because without it, we can not be differed from such creatures in the world. It may be heard as a rude word but truly, it is true. Animals will do what they want to do without considering morality because they do not have mind and brain. That's why Allah SWT states that "Human being is the most perfect creature." It shows that truly that moral values is exactly needed to run our life better.
We can not imagine if people especially students have good remarks in all subjects but they have bad moral values. What the future will be in such students' hand? There are so many facts that show us how people whose bad moralities destroy our lives, society and future. We can see bad moralities happened to the students such as smoking, drug abuses, teenager's pregnancy, rap, violation, murder, stealing something from their friends, corruption and many other crimes that can be seen regularly on TV through criminal programs such as Buser, Sergap, Hallo Polisi and so on, also what have been printed by mass media.
The other bad examples which always happened at school are cheating each other when having an examination, disrespecting the teachers, taking lightly to one or some subjects, undisciplined, gambling, even fighting each other.
From the reasons above, we can conclude that moral values should be reinforced at school besides at home or environment. Horrace mann, the father of common school, insisted that all public schools should help the students develop their morality. All the school staffs must not help the students only to be literate and well informed, but also develop their capacity to live responsibly and to judge wisely in the matter of life and conduct it.
Schools have a supportive role to build moral values. There three subjects that teach about moral values at school i.e. PKN, Religion and Budi Pekerti. As a matter of fact, those subjects are not really enough to be integrated and internalized. And definitely, teaching values should input in all subjects. Besides, modeling in moral values of teachers plays an important role because students need a figure or model to be followed in shaping or building moral values.
When the teachers teach the moral values but they, themselves, did not act it out, approximately, the students will see us as hypocrisy. As a result, they will underestimate the teachers and never follow the school' s regulation.
Another thing which is also important is giving punishment. It can force the students to obey the school regulation and to be a discipline personality later on. A short example, all students are forbidden to cheat each other. To obey this regulation, the teacher may not give them any mark at all. If the teacher let the constantly, the students will be happy and try to be dishonest people. The result of being dishonest, will bring them to a real corruptor next when they worked in a company both in government and private.
In summary, the school's goal is not only preparing the students for achieving their carriers, but also enabling them to live with dignity and purpose; not only to give knowledge to them, but also to channel that knowledge to humane ends. Hopefully!
