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!) It would be best to respond to his mother and explain that you did not find the content to be appropriate for the classroom, and explain why. I believe that as a teacher it is not your place to ban students from reading this material themselves, but you may step in if they try to share the material that you deem inappropriate with classmates. This is especially true if the parent of the student knows and accepts that the child is allowed to read this material.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this would be a great solution because you would be able to explain why you made the decision you did, and the child would know you were not keeping them from reading the book at all.
