As child my father told me an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of a cure.
Notable schools district provide their employees with transparent policies that outline the actions they need to take if a questionable situation arises. Upon discovering the “ I hate Jesse” group Mr. S. should have investigated to gather more information about the group. Armed with his germinal knowledge Mr.S. could pass on his information to the deans in his school for further investigation. However, in this scenario he failed to take action to either investigate situation or inform his supervisors. Gravely, the consequences of failing to notify his supervisors might result in disciplinary action depending on his district’s policies. Regardless,
This paper will discuss the various ethical dilemmas facing school resource officers (SRO). This will include problems with 4th amendment protections of students, interviews and interrogations of juveniles, as well as, privacy issues expected by students and faculty. Other issues to be will also address two sociological theories, the Self Efficacy and the Modeling theory. I will also discuss how school discipline is being reclassified in to criminal behavior resulting in many children being classified as criminals due to minor behavior problems. Finally this paper will discuss the SROs role, should it be public servant, or crime fighter.
Many pivotal managerial principles and practices are exemplified in the Case Study, Outrage at Eastern. In this particular story a manager, Charles Jackson, is faced with many difficult decisions regarding problems concerning one of his workers at Eastern Plating. One of Jackson’s workers named Marty Reid is accused of molestation of his stepdaughter. His allegations are made public in a recent writing in the “Evening Beacon”, the daily paper of the 10,000 town’s population. Reid also has his wife going against him as well, which automatically makes him guilty to the majority of the town. When Jackson reads the paper he immediately understands what he might be faced with in the next upcoming days of
4.) Employee Compliance to the Code: The entire staff is expected to be compliant to the rules and regulations set forth by Company X. Reported accounts of non-compliance will lead to an internal investigation of both the accuser as well as the accused; disciplinary action will necessarily follow if company rules and regulations have not been adhered to or improperly dismissed. Granted that there are many different situations that could arise in which one would believe unethical behavior or misconduct transpired; therefore, it is suggested that first the issue in question is evaluated before presenting to one’s direct
A new superintendent in an urban school district believes educators are trained to run schools and should do so with the least amount of interference possible. For this reason, an ethical crisis arises when the district decides whether or not to close a local high school. While public relations officers want district administration to be as transparent as possible to remain honest and open, the superintendent and other schoolboard members want to hold meetings with no media present. This facts of this case will become clear through explication.

Mr. Jones acted as an ineffective leader. As a matter of fact, neither he demonstrated his leadership skills when he reacted before he was prepared to do so. First, he disobeyed a mandate from his supervisor when he disclosed the information given to him, on an apparent violation of the Code of Ethics of the Education Profession in Florida, Rule 6B-1.001 (2): “…The educator will therefore strive for professional growth and will seek to exercise the best professional judgment and integrity”. He shredded his integrity, when he failed to show loyalty to his supervisor. Furthermore, principal Jones seems to be new as an administrator. Even when the authors only described him as in his first year of principal in the neighborhood school, they do not provide any more information to evidence prior experience as an administrator in other settings.
The increase of educational and social development of students is the primary goal of public schools. While attempting to accomplish this goal, investigations take place periodically do to wrongdoings by adolescents and punishments are imposed accordingly. The circumstances during which school administrators can perform a search, what degree of suspicion is required to
Thank you for your contribution to this week's discussion. Very interesting statement you make in that "as an administrator, your employees will have a clear understanding of conduct in the workplace and of course, no gray areas." Often, in supervisory positions, there will come a time when your integrity is challenged and you are placed in compromising situations. How do you avoid situations like this Tomika? How did you handle the situation where employees were taking property from their employer? "Ethics without action has no value. Just talking about your ethics but never acting on those convictions puts you at risk for ethical hypocrisy (Morrison, 2011)."
Jesse comes from a single-parent home, where he was raised by his mother and his father was absent. When there is an absence of one parent in the home the relationship between the child and the custodial parent can suffer. This is one family issue that has a great impact on how he behaves and acts. Jesse could be showing an outburst of anger in school because of his home life. This could also be the reason why when he’s upset he tells his mother he doesn’t like his life. Another family factor that can cause strain on Jesse’s behavior is poverty I think poverty might be a component that his family suffers because of some of the remarks that some of his peers made about him being dirty and smelling. Some ways that we can use intervention to solve
Treatment or prevention? Schweitzer and Theresa, or Snow and Semmelweiss? I am persuaded that both sides are needful. Looking at the definitions of both terms, it is my estimation that both treatment and prevention allows us to move towards a supplementary relationship between investing in health education and the various aspects of preventative medicine, and the tremendous outpour of resources that are devoted to medical care concentrated on reducing the duration and severity of diseases. In the cases of contagious disease, some would argue in favor of “one bad apple spoiling the bunch,” while others contend that if the bunch is cared for, “we’ll less likely see any bad apples.” (). If we look at this concern in terms of a family unit,
The case study by Hasson et al. (2007) advises that employees could contact their supervisor or manager without censor or retaliation (p.3). The additions of the hotline and ethics officer were supposed to be encouraged. However, employees bypassing the hotline and reporting process showed evidence of passive group traits. Engleberg and Wynn state that when group members lack confidence, they will follow directions regardless of whether they go against their own judgment, and they also experience high stress levels with group communication (p. 68). Harry Mart, Galvatrens COO who was first informed about the possible misconducts, didn’t act as a responsible leader. Instead of taking Mike Fields message seriously, he ignored his message. According to Engleberg and Wynn (2007), effective leaders who are proactive listeners “don’t wait for disputes to escalate into destructive conflict; they intervene at the slightest hint of hostility” (p.195). Harry Mart’s reaction to Mike Fields message also indicates that the changes brought under new management to advance the company’s procedures and to prevent misconducts and conflicts didn’t transmit effectively to the company’s leadership. the new leadership, the company was transforming to adopt an open door system that encouraged employees to raise their concerns to their superiors. However, Harry Mart’s disregard for Mike Fields’ concern indicates that the
The Center for Disease Control describes vaccines as the greatest development in public health since clean drinking water. For several decades, vaccines have saved countless lives and helped eradicate some fatal diseases. The push to do away with vaccines will not only endanger our youth, but our society as a whole. Vaccination is needed to maintain a healthy balance within our country. Vaccines provide the immunity that comes from a natural infection without the consequences of a natural infection. Vaccinations save an ever-growing amount of lives every year. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that 732,000 American children were saved from death and 322 million cases of childhood illnesses were prevented between 1994 and 2014 due to vaccination (“Vaccine ProCon”).
On [DATE/TIME OF EVENT], the employee allowed subordinates to view school board emails, and seek their counsel on how to manage board affairs; despite already being reprimanded by the board in the past and being informed that board emails are confidential. The decision to share the emails has compromised private communications between administrative leadership and the school board and compromised established professional relationship norms between supervisor and subordinates.
Brenda Franklin had been serving Allied Tech for the past 8 years. As any other organisations, Brenda used to be a part of the lunch hour conversations with her colleagues. One day when her colleagues were discussing about corruption and politics, something occurred to her. As a result she prepared a list called “Ethically Dubious Conduct” and pasted it on the common notice board. Her colleagues were taken by surprise. Brenda was now anticipating the next lunch where she was expecting her list to be analysed among her colleagues.
Even more alarming than the behavior of the student employees, is that of the students’ supervisors. The supervisors are part of the group working at the cafeteria. Every member of a
