Take a moment to return to the basics every once in a while. Everyone read children’s books as a kid, however many students fail to emulate the basic morals portrayed in these tales.

Do not cheat. Be nice. Respect adults. Try hard. These basics were taught to all students in elementary school to build a foundation of moral standards.

Students become overwhelmed with schoolwork and as stress levels increase, some students forget these basics.

Whether or not students cheat on an assignment, talk back to a teacher, or fail to put in their best effort, they should take a moment to remember the elementary school basics.
