Ethics and Coworkers

Always be ethical! This is so very important especially being an educator. My partner and I just completed our ethic discussion and I found the image on the right to remind me of our discussion topic. We discussed an issue regarding certain books being allowed in the high school media center. The media specialist was claiming certain books were against her religion and she would not allow the books in the media center. I learned from our research that the media specialist was not allowed to keep the books away from the students and that all views needed to be shared with others. I think this was a co-worker issue that needed the principal to step in and sort out all the details. At times, we are all going to disagree with each other since we all have different opinions and views.

The last two sessions of class have been so interesting and fun. I enjoyed listening to all my classmates regarding their ethic discussions. Some of them were packed full of details and a lot of effort went into each one. I can see have many ethic matters have gray areas that need to be sorted out. Most of the examples given in the discussions, I can believe happen everyday in certain schools. I agree that there needs to be a higher authority to mediate situations between co-workers. Ethics is a very important topic and I feel it was important for us to learn in class. The class discussions and explanations assist each one of us in shaping us to be the best educator we can be for our students.
