  Case: Teacher instructing wrong-doing
While volunteering in a special needs school, I have witnessed a teacher who has done things against the Code of Ethics. She has a student who has frequent outbursts that can get out of hand. When it becomes too much for the school to handle, they call the grandfather to come pick the student up. While I was there, the student had an episode and the teacher instructed me to egg the student on to escalate the behavior. She said she wanted her to still be acting up when her grandfather arrived so he could see what they were dealing with (she is normally calmed down by the time he gets there to pick her up). Obviously I knew this was very wrong but I didn't know what to do. I was just a volunteer, and here a veteran teacher is telling me something that I know is wrong. I wanted to report it to an administrator but I didn't feel it was my place because I was just a volunteer. Should I have reported this???
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I understand her situation as i have been in that situation and you want the parental figure to see the behavior being displayed at school. But egging it on is never the correct thing to do. I would not do anything when you are volunteering that you are not comfortable with. I would then mention to the teacher that you are nto comfortable egging on the outbursts.

Comments: I would not do this. The teacher can use a professional approach and try to communicate with the parent to see how they could work together.
