Ed 112 - Culminate Journal No 12

The document discusses legal and ethical dilemmas that teachers may face. It provides 14 situations and asks the reader to identify whether each represents a legal issue, ethical issue, or both. It then asks the reader to choose one situation, explain why it is a legal and/or ethical issue, and say what they would do if faced with that situation. The selected situation discusses a male teacher always going out with grade 9 students, which is identified as both a legal and ethical issue due to laws against sexual relationships between teachers and students even if the student is of legal age. The reader says they would stop this forbidden act if faced with this situation as a teacher.
