Case Analysis Ms. Aaron is a highly respected math teacher at King Mount High School who cares about each and every one of her students and strives to help them do the best they can do in her class. She offers help after hours for the students to get one-on-one help on any material they are having trouble with. She is known as the strict teacher who follows all rules and procedures, and she is respected for this by her students as well as her fellow co workers. King Mount High School’s phone policy states that all cellular devices must be turned off during all exams and if a student’s phone causes any interruptions there must be consequences. This policy is constantly reinforced to the students during all exams. Ms. Aaron is a no excuses teacher and thinks all students such be treated equally. This affects her student John because he is dealing with a family emergency and needs his phone on in order to be notified of any changes in his sickly grandmother’s condition. He was fully aware of her rules and contemplated turning off …show more content…
Aaron to punish only John allows her to to be fair to all stakeholders while still setting an example to all of her students. She is able to maintain her reputation as a strict teacher who follows the rules without punishing those who do not deserve the punishment. In this situation John decided to handle this situation as a consequentialist, putting his compassion for his family over his honesty to his teacher and following her rules. Resulting in him facing the consequences of Ms. Aaron’s punishment. He could have avoided all the consequences he put himself and classmates in if he approached the situation using the Systematic Moral Analysis process to weigh out the outcomes of his choices. Although no ethical dilemma is perfect, John following the Systematic Moral Analysis process presents the most advantages for all of the stakeholders, allowing him to
The class had just started. I reminded the students of the cell phone policy. This policy was not developed by me. The strict policy was created and enforced by the school’s district.
Columbia High School was using the Humanities to 1500 textbook for humanities course in 1975. In 1985, school designed the course textbook as Volume 1 of the Humanities for eleventh and twelfth grade students for optional and required readings. A portion of Lysistrata was read aloud in the class during the fall semester year. After that one of the parents objected to an English translation of the Greek dramatist Aristophanes Lysistrata and to English poet Geoffrey Miller’s. The Miller’s Tale from this textbook and the parent believed that the two works of art were too vulgar. After the parent complaint, the school board review the book and they decided to retain
Josie King death could had easily been avoided, by simply treating the patient and not the vital signs. Josie’s mother voiced her concern about the deterioration of her daughter health. The nurse neglect to listen to the mother or advocate for the patient. Once Josie arrested due to dehydration and methadone, the nurse should not have given her another dose. Communication between patient to nurse and doctors was not taking seriously by staff. Nurses are often in a rush to complete assignments often overlooking the small thing. In a case, when a nurse ran versed 100mg in one hour, just so she wouldn’t have to talk to the patient family.
Abigail Fisher and Rachel Multer Michalewicz were just two young women from Texas trying to get into their dream school. In 2008 the young women applied at the University of Texas. The two women, both white, filed suit, alleging that the University had discriminated against them on the basis of their race in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Equal Protection Clause being a clause that allows no state to deny any person within its jurisdiction “the equal protection of the law”.
People all around the world have many electronic devices, and there are abundant amounts of freedom that come with them. There are so many different technologies to choose from, but one that seems to be quite common among people of all ages, are cell phones. Such technology is great for many uses, but it is not always appropriate in certain settings. The principal at my school has adopted a new policy that bans the use of cell phones during school hours. I support my principal’s decision. Cell phones can be distractions in many ways to students during school. They can cause conflicts between fellow students and between students and teachers. Allowing cell phones during school hours also basically gives students permission to not pay
On March 23, 2010, a cop drew closer Israel Leija, Jr. at a drive-in diner with a warrant for his capture. Leija continued to lead the police on a fast pursue on the interstate while occasionally calling the police dispatcher, saying that he had a weapon and threatening to shoot the officers pursuing him. The officers proceeded with their interest, and different officers sent spike strips. Trooper Chadrin Lee Mullenix, after discovering that other spike strips were set up, chose to seek after the substitute strategy of shooting at Leija's car keeping in mind the end goal to stop it. Despite the fact that he had not got preparing on this move, he educated one of the officers in quest for his arrangement and radioed his manager for authorization. Before accepting the permission of his boss, Mullenix got in position on a

I am currently observing Mr. Grove’s AP Biology class. This class occurs in the first hour of school, and the students clearly show tiredness. This results in the students being laid back and calm, but after discussing with Mr. Grove (and the interview form), we have determined that cell phone usage during lecturing was the negative behavior that he noticed throughout the hour. Mr. Grove did not have a specific student in mind, so I arrived yesterday to observe the students and determine which student used their cell phone the most. One student in particular had their phone out six times during the lecture period. For the sake of privacy, I will be identifying this student by her initials “CG.” Since this student uses her phone for short periods
Many students have used their cell phones to share answers to tests and quizzes, and to report inaccurate and offensive information about other students and their school. Cell phones can be distractions in the school environment, evading classroom time and reducing student’s academic success.
Today, we would like to discuss why cell phone use should be allowed while in school and how allowing cell phones during school hours can
Laptops/Tablets are permitted in class, if they are serving an academic purpose and at designated times (decided by myself). Misuse of such a device will result in the temporary loss of the privilege to use it in class for that student. Phones need to be placed in a backpack/book bag or placed face down on the desk in front the student at the beginning of class. Use of any devices (unless given permission by teacher) will be given to Ms. Chick and you can talk to her about getting it back. The students participation and preparation grade will go down for the day.
Many teachers believe that cell phones don’t belong in a classroom because there are several disadvantages. An example maybe a student who uses a cell phone in class has no intension in listening or paying attention to the teacher. This student has a short attention span who cares about socializing more than his/her education. Cell phones can be very disruptive; they can invade people’s privacy and can also be used as harassment or bullying. The usage of cell phones is creating a huge problem particularly when they are used in school.
There is no perfect number of rules that will stop students from complaining and disliking it. The best way to put restriction on cell phones usage from students is to let them use their phones. The real problem is to prevent students from abusing the use of cell phones. The easiest
Unfortunately, cell phones have become one of the biggest challenges instructors face in college classrooms as these devices have become a pervasive part of young people's lives. What used to only make phone calls and send text messages, now does our emailing, sends us Facebook and Snapchat notifications, and plays music. Additionally, our cell phones are not only used for personal activities, but for school and work life. We want to be reachable in case of an emergency, but the constant stream of notifications has led our productivity to significantly tumble down. Recently, I noticed that in many of my classes, even though the professor says there is a “no phone” policy, many students are scrolling through their social media feeds or responding to a text rather than paying attention to the lecture of the day. I admit to using my phone constantly during class, which often has led my grades to suffer poorly. Rather than paying attention to the lesson, I was checking on buzzing notifications of entertainment news and random trivia. Because I was not listening to my professor earlier in the day, I had a difficult time trying to complete the homework assignment. Thus, in an attempt to be epistemic temperate, for the last two days, I tried to not use my phone during class lectures and study time to measure my productivity.
