You teach in a large inner-city elementary school that has experienced many problems often associated with urban blight. Gangs, smoking, alcohol and drugs, sexual harassment, and chronic absenteeism are already a fixture for these children. In an effort to create a safe learning environment, the district has implemented a zero-tolerance policy. In front of your classroom, a sixth grade boy starts an unprovoked fight with another boy. The victim's front teeth are knocked out. An entire classroom of students and the teacher witness the event. Upon hearing of the assault, the principal immediately suspends the boy for two weeks. He then calls the parents and demands to have the 12 year-old perpetrator removed from the building immediately. Are the principal's actions correct? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I feel like legally he did the right thing, however morally not. I think there should have been a sit down with the two kids and discuss with more than Just the principle present. Then, afterwards have the parents come in separate.                 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 see what you are saying. The kids should be called in to discuss the situation at hand and then the principal should explain everything to the parents. Rated On: February 26, 2018 4:34 am Rated By: LyruPa
