Assume the role of a staff member in the meeting and answer the following questions:

As a staff member, do you agree with their recommendations? If not, why?

What could have made their recommendations better or easier to support as a staff member?

If there was an advocacy plan, do you think this approach would work? If you were in the meeting, would you support the initiative?

Policy #1: Instruction will not change from student to student. All students are to be treated like equals and instructions will not be modified under any circumstances. Oftentimes in life accommodations aren't made and we want to set our children up for success.

This policy is ethical because it advocates for equality in the school environment. The students come from different backgrounds and a school environment is a safe place where they have a chance to change their lives. The first thing that the teachers need to know is that the students need to learn that life is filled with ups and downs. Making adjustments might make their lives easier in school but they will not be able to face the real world. The second thing that I want the staff members to do is that equality in school boosts the confidence of the students. This is because they are provided with equal opportunities and resources to achieve success. The staff members are supposed to support the students and offer assistance when needed. I want to ensure that they allow the students to make mistakes because it is the most appropriate way to learn how to do things the right way.

Policy 2 On water day, each kid must have a pair of water shoes that are rubber bottoms and purchased by the parents. If the child does not have them, they are not allowed to engage with water play and must remain in the classroom while their peers are outside.

This policy is unethical because it works towards excluding some students from school activities. It is possible that some parents do not have the financial ability to purchase water shoes. This however does not mean that they do not want what is best for their children. The first thing I need to do is rally the staff members and ask them about possible solutions to this issue. The next step will include presenting the ideas to the director and ensuring that the solution includes all students. The final step will include creating a platform where the students can discuss any issues that may affect their ability to be included in the water play. In the end, the students should gain knowledge from different levels.
