Teacher's oath will increase the teacher's authority in society.
Influential philosopher and religious theorist Alexander Shchipkov has proposed teachers take an oath, similar to the Hippocratic Oath taken by physicians, and oaths taken by members of the military and the priesthood.
Shchipkov is rector of the Russian Orthodox University of St. John the Theologian, and deputy head of the World Russian People’s Council, among other roles.
He explained that in some professions, it is not enough merely to get a degree to join them. He pointed out specifically doctors, soldiers, and priests, which, he claimed are subject to “ethical obligations.” As such, they are required to take the appropriate oaths. Shchipkov believes that teachers are among this special category of professions with ethical obligations, and proposes an oath for them as well.
This is because the teacher helps form the child’s personality, both mentally and morally, and as such there is a responsibility to both the child and society that the teacher be aware that the performance of this duty is a sacred trust and should be handled appropriately.
He considers all the aforementioned professions as ones of “service.”
"They all serve: the priest serves God, the doctor serves people, the military man serves the Fatherland, and the teacher serves the future of the people," he stated to SPAS TV.

Physicians no longer take the Hippocratic Oath, at least in America.
America is the putrid cauldron of degeneracy.
So, teachers who are Jewish would be fired?
Ah, the old Russia comes out.
Why bother? An oath to the satanic left is worth less than the breath it takes them to utter it, worth less than the ink in the pen they use to sign it.
Don't worry. Plenty of Muslims in Russia too. And both Jews and Muslims have much influence.
Putin has actually been quite politic in currying favor with Christians, Muslims and Jews, balancing the interests of his many constituencies. Russia is quite diverse.
My comment is on the stupidity of the proposal and those in favor.
I have no concern about the proposal being adopted, even if it is pretty much par for the course for the Russian people.
I also don’t care about Putin. He’s a petty dictator who will find himself on the end of a rope soon enough. One of the other crooks who run Russia will finally get him.
And, no, before anyone accuses, I do not think the Ukraine is much, if at all, less corrupt.
LOL, Congress and the Presidents take oaths, democrat traitors ignore the fact that they took one...
Really. We should force them to abide by the rule of American education where allegiance to the homo/trans orthodoxy is required. The terrible truth is in Russian elementary education you can’t find a single official trans twerker day. I’m sure the Muslims are up in arms about that too.
“America is the putrid cauldron of degeneracy.”
Fortunately for you you’re not American.
Long live Mother Russia.

This was so easy to do. Went down like a rock.
And what we do to spies.
Children are much safer in Russia than the US. It’s hard to admit, but it’s the truth.
The US and the EU (excluding Hungary) are The Great Satan.
Putin will be the last leader of Russia as you know it.

There are about 30 biblical references to vows, most of which are from the Old Testament. The books of Leviticus and Numbers have several references to vows in relation to offerings and sacrifices. There were dire consequences for the Israelites who broke vows, especially vows to God.
The story of Jephthah illustrates the foolishness of making vows without understanding the consequences. Before leading the Israelites into battle against the Ammonites, Jephthah—described as a mighty man of valor—made a rash vow that he would give to the Lord whoever first came out of doors to meet him if he returned home as the victor. When the Lord granted him victory, the one who came out to meet him was his daughter. Jephthah remembered his vow and offered her to the Lord (Judges 11:29–40). Whether or not Jephthah should have kept this vow is dealt with in another article. What this account shows is the foolishness of rash vows.
Jesus taught concerning vows, “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No ,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one” (Matthew 5:33–37).
A little background information is helpful in understanding Jesus’ words here. The religious leaders of the day advocated keeping a vow if it was a public vow using God’s name; however, if the vow was made in the course of everyday conversation, referencing only “heaven” or “earth” or “Jerusalem,” it was not really binding. People had a loophole. They could lie or exaggerate in their conversations and lend themselves an air of credibility by saying, “I swear by heaven that this is true!” They could not be held to account because they did not specifically swear by God’s name and the vow was private. Jesus countered that idea. If you swear something, it had better be true, He says. In fact, all you need to say is “yes” or “no.” Your word should be good. There’s no need for overwrought expressions to bolster your case.
Psalm 15:4 describes a righteous person as one “who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind.” Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 supports this biblical principle. Oaths are binding, even when spoken frivolously or privately as part of everyday conversation. A promise is a promise, and there is no loophole in God’s eyes to allow a person to renege on an oath.
So, Jesus was not condemning all forms of promises, contracts, or agreements. Jesus was speaking of the kind of spontaneous vow made when a person says, “I cross my heart and hope to die” or “I swear on a stack of Bibles” or “I swear on my mother’s life.” Jesus warns against using those types of flippant oaths. His teaching in Matthew 5 is not meant to discourage careful, thought-out promises, such as wedding vows or a legal contract.
The principle here is clear for Christians: be careful about making vows, either to the Lord or to one another. The fact that we are prone to errors in judgment means that we may make vows foolishly or out of immaturity. Further, the informal vows we make (“I swear by all the angels in heaven!”) are completely unnecessary. Our word is our bond.
