It is yourself, 3 other teachers, 4 teacher assistants, and 6 parent volunteers. It is late and you see that one of the parents brought beer with them. You go to check to make sure that your students are all asleep but one of the parents invites you to sit down and have a drink with them. You know it is against the code of ethics to do so before checking the students safety but the other parents start calling you names. What do you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) We try to teach our students to not fall into peer pressure and to do the right thing even when no one is looking. As teachers, we are in the light as an example to everyone. I would rather have parents calling me names because I would not drink with them, then my students learn about doing something like that. It is definitely not worth losing a job over but more importantly, it is not worth losing the student's respect over.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No 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 No Comments: I don't think it gives a solution to the problem. It is important to teach students from right and wrong but it doesn't cover the problem.

Clearly, you make the right decision to say the teacher should not partake in drinking, but that should not be the only action. There needs to be a confrontation with the parent too. Not then and there at the zoo, but at the school with a formal meeting with administration.
