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 is the students right to choose whether or not they wish to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The only thing I would consider is that since the school is in a conservative community that the students may make fun of the boy based on his beliefs to not recite the "Pledge of Allegiance". If this occurs the teacher may have to address the issue so that the students understand that the Pledge isn't mandatory.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like that you took into consideration possible bullying Rated On: March 1, 2016 8:23 pm Rated By: daPaJa
