  Case: Inappropriate Material
Jon is a great student in seventh grade who does all of his work and gets good grades. One day during silent reading you find that he is reading a book that contains inappropriate content. You ask him to put away his book and choose another from the classroom book shelf. He does as he is asked but you get a call from him mother a few days later regarding the fact that you had her son stop reading the book the was interested in during class. How should you respond to Jon's mother and is this a problem of ethics?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a teacher I would talk to the parents and discuss the fact that you are glad he is interested in reading. I would also explain the classroom rules, tell her if she would like he can read this book at home. In class we cannot have books like this because of other students. Do not make the parent or student feel bad/guilty just remind them not to bring it to school.

Comments: I think this is a good solution. However, since I am not certain what made the book inappropriate, it's difficult to know if I would have also thought I should call the mother that day to discuss what happened. If it was inappropriate, I probably should have called her the day he was reading it.
