What I learned from this event is that ethics and morality in regards to school
and students is not always clear. Sometimes you have to make a choice that while
good for the students future, may go against your own moral compass. I also think
that this reinforces that one of the most important qualities a students can have is
the drive to work hard. This learner wasnt a lazy students who was just getting
passed so that the faculty could get rid of her. She was a talented, hardworking
student who was struggling in a subject that she would never need again in her
professional life. These 3 teachers decided to grade her a little less strictly then
than other students and give her a chance to still pass the year. I am not sure if I
would do this in my own classroom but it has made me very aware that issues like
this, with no clear cut answer, come up often in school.
