Module 10

I chose to discuss Situation 3 from the Teachers' Rights and Responsibilities on page 385.
After I read the situation about the teacher being an effective and creative teacher and well liked by her co-workers I could appreciate that in a teacher. What I did not like is how she was treated because of the way she lived her life outside of school was not accepted by her co-workers. I feel that what you do outside of the workplace is your busy and not anyone elses. If she is doing her job correctly and in a responsible fashion, then those key factors should manner and nothing else should. People have the right to do what they want to do because she was not hurting anyone. She is not out there worried about other people and how they live their life.

Situation 14 dealing with school prayer was a topic that I could relate to and that is why I chose it. These days you as a professional educator have to be very careful about what you allow in your classroom. Not everyone in school believes in prayer or God for that matter. I may not agree with certain things all the time but I will respect a parent or child's wishes to have that child be removed from that type of setting if prayer is involved.

  1. I agree that teachers need to be careful what is allowed in their classrooms. Children's culture and religious beliefs should always be taken into consideration when planning activities and lessons.
