There are so many scenarios where you will find yourself in some sort of dilemma that makes you think about your moral code, your beliefs, ethics, and just how it mixes with your place of employment. Many situations happen outside of the allotted teaching time. Identifying potential risks is a great first step to making the right choice if and when the time arises.
“Parent–Teacher Relationships Dilemma” This particular video, the dilemma is that a teacher has a very close relationship with a parent of one of his students. The teacher is dating one of his students' mothers, and was keeping it a secret. The dilemma he has is that while dating is fine, dating in that situation brings up possible favoritism and issues for the student of the mother. The teacher's reasoning seems ok, and he seems like everything is fine, but a relationship like that can be very delicate, depending on the seriousness of the relationship, and the trust that the teacher will do things the right way. This video really hits home to me. I consider, and I feel like I have the backing of so many people to agree with me in saying one of my two greatest strengths as a teacher, is my communication with the parents. I have known parents personally, and had great relationships with them outside of the realm of school, and I’ve also developed good friendships with parents even after just meeting them through school. None of these have ever been personal, but a relationship is a relationship regardless. When choosing to have a relationship of any level with a
parent, you absolutely have to clear it with administration first. There are principals out there that
will forbid relationships within the walls, so I know relationships with parents are right up that corner. This is one of those “if it’s done right” situations, that you may be safe with, if you take the right procedures.
In this particular situation, I think knowing exactly what the school policy is would be the
most key part. I think if the boxes were checked, and notice was given, I can see a smooth
3
process being played out. When knowledge of the relationship is given to staff, they can hold the
teacher and parent accountable. I don’t see a problem, if it is done the right way.
I don’t think there were many geographical factors to play, but situationally, it just wasn’t
done properly. As an administrator, they may find this to be fine, but knowing that they hid it from you raises a red flag. With this particular teacher, now that they confessed, you question if they would have, had it not been noticed? Even after admission, it doesn’t look good for him. The principal now has to decide if he can keep things professional, or if hiding it is any indication of what is possible, should she squash it.
My choice to handle it, and my viewpoints align with deontology, which is what I picked before. The relationship seems fine to me, but at what cost? If I knew I was in a relationship with
a student’s mother, is there any possible way I could overlook an error on the student’s work, due to this reason. Even a point of work that is overlooked, is morally wrong. Work is either right, or it is wrong and it doesn’t matter whose work it is. Now you run the risk in one of two ways: either you overlook something, and grade unfairly, causing moral problems yet having a happy student and mother, or you grade fairly, the student performs badly, thus potentially causing a rift between the mother and you. Which is a greater risk I ask?
“Ethics Coach Dilemma”
The dilemma portrays a coach of a baseball team, being a mentor outside of the realm of baseball to a player. The coach does not seem to have a problem with it, until the player discusses a very personal matter. The coach clearly is unsure of how to answer the player due to the sensitivity of the matter. The player clearly trusts the coach, so that puts the coach in an even trickier position.

Short Case

space tourism industry.

but one called Space Ship One succeeded first. It was designed by Burt Rutan, owner of a company that
sells build-it-yourself airplanes and was funded by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.
The long-term goal of the X Prize is to create an affordable space tourism industry where trips to other
planets become common for all people.
