In School
If a teacher hit a student, would that be ethically right?
No, it would not be right as the teacher is condoning violence in the classroom.
A student steals a teachers phone and it was reported to the staff. The student did not confess that they did it earlier and staff had found out by investigating.
The student is brought back to the office and uses the excuse that they were "blackmailed" to do it. Would that be okay?
It would still not be okay as they still did it, the student should've reported the "blackmail" incident to the principal or VP without doing the action. It would only be okay if the student confessed that they did it and explained it to the staff.
A bus driver catches another student with a fake bus pass. The student said they found it on the floor and it was about to expire so they wanted to use it. Is that okay?
No, it's not okay because even tho the student didn't make it, they are still using it and didn't report it.
A student storms out without asking the teacher, they later told the principal that they felt they were gonna throw up.
If a student hits you back and you hit them back, will you get in trouble?
Yes, you will get in trouble.
But, you can say it was self-defense depending on your state laws.
It would not be okay unless the student has a history of wondering or if teachers or faculty members are aware.
A student fought another student because the other student was harassing them. Is it okay?
The fight should have not happened at all, so it would not be okay. The student should have reported the harassment incident instead of taking matters into their own hands.
A student throws a tantrum on the floor, but because the teacher is refusing to leave and they are having a medical issue.
Actually, it WOULD be okay to protest against the teacher because they are forbidding them to leave in a life or death situation.
A student breaksdown in class, the teacher gives a disgusted face. Is that okay?
No, the teacher should have compassion for the student because they dont know what they are going through.
If you see a bully take a student lunch, what will you do?
You should report.
If you were a teacher and a student didn't do any work, how would you approach it?
One of the methods could be letting them not do it for now, and completing it in a later class or at home.
A student breaks a window by accident and didn't report it. Staff later found out and questioned the student. The student said they were "scared" to report it due to consequences.
Do you think the student should have reported it?
The student should have reported it and they would've saved themselves from even more worse consequences.
A teacher is refusing to let a student make a phone call because it is SBA testing, is that okay?
A student raises their hand and questions another students response in class by saying it's wrong. Is that appropriate?
Students are protesting outside of their classrooms because of the duration of lunch. Is it right?
A teacher says a student can't go on a short break but the student is having difficulty breathing. Is it okay?
The teacher is in the wrong because the student could pass out or faint. A short break is legally required if asked.
If you have a mental breakdown, what should you do?
A teacher storms out of class because they are "fed up" with the students. Is it okay?
It would not be okay as the teacher has not let anyone know and is leaving the students by themselves.
A student refuses to show up to a detention because they want to finish work. Would that be okay?
A student will not follow directions because they said they do not understand it. Should the teacher help them?
The teacher should help them because that is their job.
