  Case: After two convictions of driving while intoxicated
After two convictions of driving while intoxicated, a tenured elementary school teacher was dismissed on grounds of immorality. The teacher argued that the convictions did not relate to teacher effectiveness as her first grade students did not know of her arrests. Will her termination be upheld by the courts? Why or why not?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree with the previous solution. As teachers we have the responsibility to be good role models for our students and to make moral decisions. The teacher did not make the right decision and her morality is questionable. In addition, she not only received a DUI once, but twice. This type of behavior is not acceptable. She put the lives of other drivers and herself in danger. I do think that the termination will be upheld.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly agree with this point of view. There is a pattern of repeat offense that further weakens the teacher's position as well.

Comments: I agree with this statement because the teacher has made bad decisions leading to the putting higher risks for herself and other people in danger. I believe that termination should stay based on the fact of her decisions and reasoning behind what she did of poor judgement and decision making.
