"Teachers seek new image with parents. by Chee Chee Leung, Education Reporter.

"Integrity, respect and responsiblity have been identified as the key values underpinning Victoria's 98,000 teachers in a new code of ethics for the profession.

But teachers will not be required to act with dignity and courtesy, after references to these qualities in a draft version of the code were scrapped.

Victorian Independent Education Union general secrtary Tony Keenay was pleased that references in the draft code to diginity and courtesy - which he called "value-laded and meaningless concepts" have been removed.
