Mr. John was interviewed by three principals for his current job. While in the interview he was questioned about what he would do if a female student wanted an inappropriate relationship. Mr. John was troubled with this because the principal asking the question was involved in an inappropriate relationship with a student before he became principal.

I would want to know the code of ethics before becoming a teacher, and I would not sweat the question because that is expected behavior.   Posted on: October 20, 2014 12:05 am Natisha Reps: 99 This statement is very true. Knowing the code of ethics is extremely important.   Posted on: March 1, 2015 12:03 am nydyra Reps: 202 The code of ethics is the code of ethics, not someone else's behavior.   Posted on: October 17, 2015 8:38 am ezyHes Reps: 101 Knowing Code of Ethics prior to an interview is smart.   Posted on: March 5, 2016 9:09 pm Elizabeth Allen Reps: 209 I agree with this solution.

But I would not ask the principal this, I would instead state that as a teacher I will maintain professional standards and appropriateness. This means not getting into any inappropriate relationships with students. I would also report this to the guidance counselor to keep everything open so that nothing can be said against me later. As well as to ask how to go about this in discussing the instance with the parents.
