Beth Janison is a new first-grade teacher in a school with agrowing minority population. At Beth’s first meeting with hermentor teacher, he explains that he tells his students and parents“if they can’t speak English, they better learn!” For this dilemma,identify the ethical principles that can guide Beth’s response toher mentor teacher. Is she obligated to agree with him? What if shefeels that children and families should be encouraged to maintaintheir first language? You may also benefit from exploring yourstate laws regarding immigration and school policies. Whatstrategies could Beth use to express her concerns about her mentorteacher’s statement? Are there ways Beth can become an activist forthis issue? What would you do in this situation?
