I think that the purpose of ethics classes should not be to teach people how to be good but how to achieve integrity.
Then why did most of the philosophers I met seem to have so little integrity? It’s like depressed psychologists, dentists with bad teeth, programmers using bad IDEs, or jobless sociologists. Don’t work with those.

It may be that the philosophers you meet are more interested in helping others find their own strong moral principles, rather than selling theirs. It might also be that sufficiently strong integrity looks like chaotic evil.

It is not the job of a philosopher to offer therapy. And serving one's ego usually leads to poor philosophy as well.
