You use the remaining time to do some on-line holiday shopping. Were any code of ethics principles violated? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I find it almost impossible that the teacher had absolutely no school related business to take care of in the remaining moments of the planning period, but if this were true, I would see no problem in quickly submitting an online order if the teacher's personal cell phone or ipad was used. The case study said that the teacher had completed all of her responsibilities for her planning period and an online order can take as little as 2 minutes which seems insignificant so long as the teacher is productive, efficient, and effective the remaining hours in the classroom. Teachers spend countless hours grading papers, preparing lessons, etc "off the clock" and spend hundreds of dollars out of their own paychecks for school supplies that this seems like a very small offense.
