  Case: Teacher Arrest
We currently have a teacher in my district that was arrested for a DUI. This teacher previously taught at my school and students are beginning to talk. What is the correct response when asked by other teachers, parents, or students about the situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is a situation in which it becomes public knowledge. Newspapers, social media and word of mouth spreads news like this quickly. In my opinion, it is not our place, as coworkers, to tell other's business. Yes, that teacher made a mistake. We are all human, we all make mistakes. It is not our place to chew the fat with anyone, much less our students about it. With that being said, I would tell me students that we are at school, not at the gossip mill. Out of respect for my coworker, I will not discuss her personal life. We need to focus on school, not what goes on out of school. It is not our place to pass judgement or to discuss it period. You could always say you don't know and that even if you did you would not discuss it with them.

Comments: It would most likely be public information and if parents or students are that curious, they are allowed to research it further but I agree that as coworkers and teachers alike, it is not our business to discuss such sensitive topics with anyone.

Comments: I think this is the best solution because it lets students and other staff members know that we will not be discussing the situation but also we should not talk about it because we do not know about what caused the issue and that is how rumors start and people get hurt.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Teacher should not bring this into their professional lives because in reality, it is none of theirs' or the students' business.
