Reso is a view of life encouraging to work hard to get mercy from God. The study involved 332 students from 14 elementary schools in Makassar City, Indonesia and two elementary school teachers. The instruments
used in the study were questionnaires, interviews, and observations of learning activities. The results showed that the teachers had made efforts to inherit values that originated from the Bugis-Makassar tribe’s wisdom. Efforts were made in the form of teachings, exemplary, and advice, but still incidental without specific planning
