    The Seven (7) Deadly Sin in Education

    By: Coleen A. Bristow

    The concept of the "seven deadly sins" originated in Christian theology as a way to describe the most
    serious sins that one could commit. While there is no exact equivalent in education, we can identify
    certain behaviors or tendencies that can be harmful to the learning process. Here are seven "sins" that
    can negatively impact education:

    Laziness: Teachers who are lazy may not put in the effort needed to prepare engaging lessons or to
    provide constructive feedback to students. Students who are lazy may not put in the effort needed to
    study or to participate in class.

    Pride: Teachers who are overly proud may be resistant to feedback or may believe that they always know
    best. Students who are overly proud may be unwilling to ask for help or to admit when they are
    struggling.

    Envy: Teachers who are envious of their colleagues may be competitive in a way that is not productive,
    and may be unwilling to collaborate or share ideas. Students who are envious of their peers may be
    unwilling to help others or to celebrate their successes.

    Wrath: Teachers who are prone to anger may lash out at students or colleagues, creating a negative and
    unsafe learning environment. Students who are prone to anger may disrupt the class or engage in
    bullying behavior.

    Greed: Teachers who are motivated by money or status may prioritize their own interests over those of
    their students, leading to neglect or mistreatment. Students who are motivated by greed may cheat or
    engage in other unethical behaviors to get ahead.

    Gluttony: Teachers who are focused solely on grades or test scores may prioritize quantity over quality,
    leading to a shallow understanding of the material. Students who are focused solely on grades may
    prioritize memorization over deep learning and critical thinking.

    Sloth: Teachers who are apathetic or indifferent may fail to engage students or to create a positive
    learning environment. Students who are slothful may lack motivation or fail to take responsibility for
    their own learning.
