  Case: The teacher quietly walks over to the student and removes the test
During a 5th grade social studies exam, a teacher thinks that a student is cheating by looking at another student's paper across the aisle. The teacher quietly walks over to the student and removes the test. She tears the exam in half and drops it in the waste basket. Upon hearing about this situation, the student's parents are angry and demand a response from the principal in regards they view as an improper use of power. What ethical and legal considerations should the principal contemplate when addressing this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should not have torn the exam up and thrown it in the trash.

Comments: I agree. I think that ripping up the test was a bit harsh. The test should have been taken and the student should have been spoken with after class and had the parents be notified personally to come up with punishment or perhaps retaking the test.
