Does Integrity Matter to a Sixth Grader?

This is Mr. McGuire’s post about integrity because we watched the Mad River Theater and watched  The Mighty which is inspired by the book Freak The Mighty which both talked about integrity.
Integrity–Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
The Mad River Theater performed at Laurelville on Wednesday.   They did a play written by Bob Lucas about Lewis Latimer, an African American Inventor who lived in the late 1800′s.  The play recapped Latimer’s life, his struggles and his successes.
The performance ended with the song, Honesty, Integrity, and Pride.  These character traits were representative of Latimer’s life.  This prods the question, does integrity matter to a sixth grader?  Should it?
Thinking back to the read aloud of Freak the Mighty, and having watched the film, The Mighty, I was thinking about Kevin’s view of integrity.  How does it compare to yours?  In a few words, does your integrity guide how you live?

This is my comment on his post

I think  having integrity is important. I think that because integrity can guide how you live. When you decide to make a bad choice could that effect how you live or how you will be living in the future. That is the same way in making a good choice. If you could decide between cheating and getting away with it or make the choice and not cheat. If you decide to cheat then you might try to rely on cheating for the rest of your life and that could affect how you live. Having integrity is important to because I want to go and have a good way of living by having good integrity. I think that are view of integrity is similar because he want Max to get through life being able to do every thing that he couldn’t do before by making the right choices.
