Your school is on a 50 minute period schedule and you are in the middle of teaching a unit on Southwest Asia in an ethnically diverse school. Your standards include comparing and contrasting the three major religions in this region: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. You decide the most logical way to teach religion is chronologically so you start with Judaism on Monday, then Christianity on Tuesday, and then teach Islam on Wednesday. On Wednesday afternoon the principal calls you in letting you know that a several of the parents of Muslim children are offended because you you taught Islam last and are assuming that you think it is not as important and/or you have an agenda. What would you tell the parents and how might you teach it differently next year? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Also, another situation I might do after this situation happened would be to send out an apology newsletter addressing the situation as well as explaining the lesson unit and why it was presented in this way.                 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: This is the best solution because it shows that the teacher cares about his students.
