  Case: Hand over assessment to administration
Mr. Jones is a 12th grade English teacher and department head. He was approached by his administrator to provide a copy of each assessment he plans to administer to the upcoming senior class for British Literature. Mr. Jones did not believe it was ethical so he did not submit the assessments to his administrator. What is the teacher to do or what recourse does he have?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel like Mr. Jones made a bold move by deciding to not do what his administrator asked of him. I feel as if Mr. Jones was rebelling. Instead of rebelling, Mr. Jones should have had a meeting with his administrator to ask questions to find out why he/she needs Mr. Jones to turn in his assessments before using them with his senior class; there might have been an underlying problem with the assessments Mr. Jones uses that the administrator was wanting to straighten out before the British Literature class started. I like my job to much to just rebel against my boss, so I feel like Mr. Jones made a huge mistake!

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. You don't want to come of as not being part of the team and it is important to communicate so that all parties are on the same page.
