Case: Pledge of Allegiance
You teach 6th grade at a small elementary school in a conservative community. It is school policy that at the beginning of the day, all students recite the "Pledge of Allegiance." A new family moves into town, and their 6th grade son is in your classroom. He refuses to recite the pledge, and refuses to be in the same room while the recitation is occurring. What ethical and legal considerations should you consider in dealing with this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You should definitely contact a school administrator and report the behavior. The child might be refusing because of religious or home circumstances. Conferencing with the parents after discussing with the students and administrator would be the steps I suggest to follow. |

| Comments: It's really not that big of a deal and doesn't need to be taken to an administrator unless it gets out of hand later. |

| Comments: I dont think that this is an administration issue. If the student does not want to stand for the pledge, then that is their choice and they don't need to give a reason. They are entitled to choose. Yes, the parent should be informed of the situation, but it isnt an issue. |

| Comments: I do not agree wi5 this solution and I would not recommend this. There is no need to bring administration into the situation. The teacher should respect the students behavior. It is not mandatory to participate in the pledge. |

| Comments: I don't feel that in this situation it is necessary to report any behavior. A simple accommodation for the student could rather be offered in the classroom or hall. |
