Case Study:   The district superintendent is visiting the school and passes you in the hall.  When he passes you, he says, “Man, I wish I would have had a teacher like you when I was in school!  Maybe I would have paid more attention!” and winked.  This is not the first time this has happened to you, and before you’ve either laughed it off or ignored him.  You are very uncomfortable with his comments but not sure if you can do anything about it since you haven’t mentioned it to anyone before.  Also, you are afraid to report for fear of losing your job.  Should this teacher report this behavior?  Why or why not?  If she does report the behavior, will her job be protected?  Why or why not?
