write a paper on Ethical Situations in Education
Task 1: Ethical Situations in Education This is an Individual Assignment.
Scenario
Pretend you have already graduated and you are now a teacher in your major subject you studied at university.
In your class, you find you have some very difficult students who are not motivated at all to learn.
Some of them constantly disrupt your class while you are trying to teach.
They perform poorly in their tasks, assignments and activities, they sometimes talk back to you and on occasions disrupt you.
Sometimes they are laughing and making jokes, throwing paper airplanes across the class. You tell them to behave themselves, but that does not work
Many times, you feel your temper rising. You are getting frustrated day by day. But you have to do your job as a teacher. Your job is for all students to learn.
Instructions

1. a) based on your current experiences as a former student in school a student in the university, your knowledge of teaching and learning so far.
