It is school policy that at the beginning of the day, all students recite the "Pledge of Allegiance." A new family moves into town, and their 6th grade son is in your classroom. He refuses to recite the pledge, and refuses to be in the same room while the recitation is occurring. What ethical and legal considerations should you consider in dealing with this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It could be against the student's culture in some way, so I would talk to administration.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Rated On: March 1, 2015 5:25 am Rated By: apazeR                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I would talk to the parents before administration because they could offer more of an explanation or help than administration.
