Recommended: Classroom ethics

The school most certainly had the duty of standard care. Torte explains that there needs to be appropriate and reasonable standards of a professional practice (school) (Dragan, n.d.). The school did not act under professional standards in this case. From my understanding in practicing for my criminal justice degree reasonable standard would have been what the social norm would be at that time. Under the circumstances where children were vulnerable to the opposite sex, they opened it up for possible sexual assault on other students. The school acts as if there was no danger to the other students in allowing children to decide what bathroom they wanted to use. These are teenagers and hormones run rapid, sexual assault was not a matter of if,

    High school student “John Doe” responded to peer teasing by choking the student and then kicking out a school window. Middle school student “Jack Smith” made sexual lewd comments to female classmates. Both had a history of hostile and aggressive behaviors that are manifestations of their disabilities. On the fifth day of the school suspension, the district notified both boys’ parents that they were proposing expulsion and they extended suspension until the expulsion proceedings were finished. Doe filed suit against the school district and the superintendent on grounds that the disciplinary actions violated the “stay-put” provision of the then Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA) (later IDEA).

  • Bethel School District Vs. Fraser

    722 Words  | 2 Pages

    This case involved a public high school student, Matthew Fraser who gave a speech nominating another student for a student elective office. The speech was given at an assembly during school as a part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government. While giving the speech, Fraser referred to his candidate in what the school board called "elaborate, graphic, and explicit metaphor." After his speech, the assistant principal told Fraser that the school considered the speech a violation of the school's "disruptive-conduct rule." This prohibited conduct that interfered with the educational process, including obscene, profane language or gestures. After Fraser admitted he intentionally had used sexual innuendo in the speech, he was told that he would be suspended from school for three days, and his name would be removed from the list of the speakers at the graduation exercises.

  • Persuasive Essay On School Searches

    848 Words  | 2 Pages

    Yes, I do know that even with school searches people bring all types of things on to school campus no matter if they get caught or not. I feel as if the students do have the right to refuse if they are searched or not because the fact of them being a minor and the fact that as a kid we get into places where we don't always know the right answer or way to go so we agree to things we might not understand. I also feel that if law enforcement has to have probable cause the school bored should have probable cause as well. " school officials.... are not required to advise students that they have a right to refuse consent to search .... or rise discipline." (Ellenberger 32) Some schools have all different policy's and rules to telling students their rights to refusing anything because they are dealing with more minors then with legal adults. Secondly, many parents get concerned about their children being in schools that don't have searches. " Parents and students fear that they will be in class with other students who are under the influence." (Robison) The parents and students feel that having school searches will help eliminate the drug and alcohol use in or during school hours. Lastly, most school bored are just looking for a safe environment for their students and staff to come to for eight

  • Case Study Of Phillip Jablonski Case

    708 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ethically, I feel all the psychiatrist involved should have done a little more investigating into Phillip Jablonski background. Mr. Jablonski and Ms. Kimball informed Dr. Kopiloff that Jablonski served five years in prison for raping his wife and four days prior to attending the session he attempted to rape Kimball’s mother. I feel this information alone deserved a little more attention from Dr. Kopiloff because Jablonski is definitely displaying a pattern of his lack of respect for women and violating your personal space. Another issue which should have brought up red flags and gave Dr. Kopiloff cause for concern is the fact that the police described the same situation to Dr. Berman who failed to relay the message to Dr. Kopiloff. The level of urgency regarding the safety of others and their clients at this hospital does not seem to be high. Ethically, Dr. Berman and Dr. Kopiloff should have formally informed Kimball of their concerns regarding Jablonski’s recent, current, and vague and uncommunicative demeanor. Both doctors were formed not only by local police also the client himself of his violent tendencies and they still were reluctant to act, and only suggested Jablonski voluntarily hospitalized himself.
