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!) Books are not censored in schools so this is a difficult situation. Maybe allow the student to take the book home with them so they can read it in private and the parents won't be as upset.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Explain why it was inappropriate and see if the parent approves before you send it home with the child. They may understand why you took it away and tell their child that they need to pick a different book that interests them.
