  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!)
I think that it depends on the type of inappropriate material that the student was reading. Was it inappropriate for school completely? Such as pornographic or violent, or was it religious. If it was inappropriate and not allowed in the school system, I would explain to the mother that it is not allowed in school and it should be kept at home for him to read.
