“The King of Snide at Westside Middle”
The case study “The King of Snide at Westside Middle” would be best summarized as a principal faced with addressing an unethical situation on campus involving one of her teachers and students. As the situation arises, the administrator is faced with answering challenging questions, such as, “What you could do given the circumstances?” and “What should you do given the circumstances?”
According to the case, “The King of Snide at Westside Middle School”, a teacher on campus is labeled “The King of Snide” by the students and his colleagues because of the rude comments he makes towards everyone around him except those that are superior to him. The administrator on campus has heard on many occasions that this particular teacher ridicules students who disagree with him and that he responds to the students with a negative response, for example," I don 't suffer fools easily."

    Since this was only the second time that the Wes Berry had been in the superintendent 's office is a big sign that they had not developed a relationship. The office had never been open to him to come collaborate, seek advice, or seek support on things happening in his building. Since this relationship had not been built prior to this situation we can assume that the majority of information that that the superintendent receives about the building is from parents or other resources. To help avoid situations like this I believe that Wes should start sharing information and happenings from around his school building with the superintendent. He should make sure that the superintendent makes his perception of this school building from him not mainly from others outside the building.

    Staveren (2007), describes Utilitarian Ethics as a pathways that allows individual agents to have moral preferences and to act in the interest of others, but only when the action toward others generates a net utility gain for the individuals (p 22), therefore the actions of Derrick, the Principal of Pierre Trudeau High, and the VW University will be examined under a Utilitarian lens. Derrick as a teacher, regardless of student-rank, should have maintained professional boundaries with his students and avoided giving single students preferential treatment despite his best intentions. Following the principles of Utilitarian ethics Derrick might have been more inclined to “sacrifice” the one students, in this case Max, and focus his attention on

    While school rules and policies have changed since 1985, when the film was released, Vernon’s level of cruelty has never been acceptable. If a Vice Principal behaved that way in 1985, they might have gotten away with it, but now they would surely be fired. This extreme cruelty is considered abusive and teachers can be sued and/or go to jail for treating students the way Vernon treats the teens. Not only are the consequences for actions like Vernon’s extreme, these actions themselves are not realistic. Teachers and Principals do not behave that way towards students, especially not in a public school.
