Without asking the children about the incident, what they were doing and why they were fighting, the principal proceeded to yell at them and then immediately suspended them for three days. The children were later sent home. The parents contacted the school and demanded a meeting with the principal. The parents explained that the children were not fighting and that the teacher Mrs. Fenton did not listen to the children. The principal blamed the teacher for the incident and explained that the teacher was hysterical about the incident and this caused her to suspend the students. The suspension was then cancelled but the children were not allowed to play at the playground for 2 days. The parents also demanded an apology from the teacher, but the teacher was never informed that she was blamed for the incident. As a result, the parents never received their apology. After confronting the principal about her lying to the parents, I reported the incident to the head office and allowed the head office to take appropriate action in response to the principal’s behaviour and lack of leadership skills. I never mentioned the incident to the teacher. Analysis/Critique This incident demonstrates unethical acts performed by the principal, and, to some extent, by the teacher. Primarily, however, the principal violated the ethical requirement which calls for abiding by the values of honesty and integrity (Kocabas &amp. Karakose, 2009). The principal was not honest with the parents and the teacher. He was dishonest with the parents when he told them that the teacher was hysterical about the incident and this prompted him to suspend the students. He was also dishonest with the teacher by not even mentioning that she was being blamed for the incident and that the parents were demanding an apology from her. The principal lacked the integrity required of his position, he was not steadfast in the fulfilment of his duties, and he did not stand by his decision to suspend the students. instead, he blamed the incident on the teacher, who was not given the opportunity to defend herself. He also violated the ethical principles which relate to due process and the protection of civil and human rights of individuals (Kocabas &amp. Karakose, 2009). He did not give the students the opportunity to explain their actions and the events surrounding the incident. He summarily judged them to be at fault, yelled at them, and then suspended them without letting them explain their actions and their participation in the alleged incident. Due process entails giving a person the opportunity to explain his or her actions and to exhaust all the possible remedies to which he or she is entitled under the rules of the institution or the law (Kocabas &amp. Karakose, 2009). The children had the right to explain themselves, what they were actually doing and why they were doing this. If they had been given the opportunity to explain their actions, the teacher and the principal would have known that they were not fighting but were just roughly playing. A commensurate reprimand and reminder for rough playing would have sufficed for the incident. it did not deserve suspension and harsh words from the principal. The incident did not even sufficiently merit a visit to the principal’s office. The incident provides a situation where I was able to apply my personal and ethical judgment in relation to the issue.
