  Case: sex ed
After a student approaches her with a sexual health question, a health educator must decide whether or not to answer the student's question against the wishes of her parents.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Well use discretion when answering the question. If it's in the textbook then it's a suitable answer but if it's something inappropriate I'd recommend not answering it if the parent doesn't want the child knowing.

Comments: This is the best response. As teachers we should respect what parents do and don't want their children to know before the parents can teach them. Answers from a textbook are fine since they're part of the curriculum, but anything outside of the text should be treated with caution.

Comments: I agree that if it is in the textbook than they can go ahead and answer. I also think that maybe a permission slip with the topics covered should be sent out for the parents to sign that way the teacher knows what they can or can not talk about.

Comments: This is a good solution, however you can also have the child ask their own parents about the topic. That way they can still get that information if the parent is ok with it.
