Hi Students, please make sure you read the next post, ‘The latest from 5KP’ as that is where tonight’s homework is.

However I also wanted you to check out this site as I think it is full of great information. Something that caught my attention on the site is this ‘ethical dilemma‘ and I would like you to have a think about it too. When I read this pretty typical dilemma I thought you guys might like to go to the comments and add your own so I went to the comments and checked them out, there were 125 at that point. The comments were all full of positive advice and information but I wonder how many people really do those things…

As a teacher and a parent, I was interested to read all of these comments and thought that the kids that posted them were mostly really nice kids who talked about doing the ‘right thing’. However, also as a teacher and a parent, the things the kids talked about doing compared to the things I see students in my playground actually doing were pretty different.
I hope that people do the ‘right thing’ in real life and aren’t just good at talking about it.

How good are YOU at practicing what you preach??? I’d love it if you could

a) post a comment on the ethical dilemma above

b) respond to my question: how good are you at practicing what you preach? Hint don’t double your workload, copy your scholastic response as a response to my blog and why not post about it on your own blog too…

c) feel free to post any other comments on the previous scholastic ethical dilemmas, there are some interesting ones on there
