Issue #1 • • • Issue: Did Mrs. Price show disrespect to her student? Conclusion: Yes, Mrs. Price did show disrespect to her student. Reasons: The teacher does not believe Rachel is telling the truth when she states that the sweater is not hers. Mrs. Price forces Rachel to wear the jacket. She does not show compassion or go talk to Rachel when she starts crying in the middle of class. When another student remembers the sweater is hers and not Rachel's the teacher acts as if nothing happened and does not apologize for her mistake. • • Teacher Reasons: The teacher could have thought that Rachel simply forgot the sweater was hers. Mrs. Price assumed that stating the sweater was Rachel’s was the easiest way to resolve the issue and she could have really thought it was Rachel’s. The reason why the teacher may have wanted Rachel to put on the sweater instead of messing with it on her desk was because she felt that Rachel was distracting the rest of the class. Conclusion: I feel that even though the teacher came off as rude, it is possible that she had other intentions. Mrs. Price was more worried about loosing control of the class as a whole rather than Rachel’s individual emotions and actions.
