Case: Laptop computer
An elementary teacher named George checked out a laptop computer from his schools computer lab so that he could do some work at home. The following week, another teacher used the same laptop computer and noticed that there were numerous clips of pornography saved in a video file on the hard-drive. With the help of the district's technology specialist, the school principal traced the pornographic images to the week that George had used the computer. George admitted to viewing pornography in the privacy of his own home on the laptop. His employment was immediately terminated. George filed suit. The courts ruled against him. Why?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Because it was a violation of the code of ethics. It is found to be inappropriate and a student could have seen this on the computer. It is definitely against the code of ethics. |

Comments: Although this statement is true, I do not believe the main issue was that a student could have seen it. I think it was because he used school property for personal use. |
