Abstract:
There is so much outcry about the standard of morality in society today especially
among youths. Respect for elders has been thrown overboard. Cultism and killing in the
increase, Yahoo (ritual killing) has become the order of the day. Children kill their parents at
will because of penchant for money or the desire to become rich. Sexual immorality is rampant
now. This has led to so many teenage pregnancies. Kidnapping on the increase parents are
becoming victims. The government is having a feel of it. Like Chinua Achebe would say, things
fall apart, the center cannot hold. Teachers are not exception as some are also involved in
immoral acts against the ethics of their profession. These and other moral imbecilities have given
impetus to the choice of this study to ameliorate the situation. The study is tagged: The nexus
between philosophy, the teacher and the moral atmosphere of the school. The study was carried
out under these sub-heads, introduction, explication of key concepts, theoretical framework, the
role of the teacher in the moral atmosphere of the school, recommendations, summary and
conclusion.
