What do you do?? en-us 2017-10-08 17:03:07 UTC 2017-11-18 02:19:18 UTC hello@padlet.com mevans316 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195019615 Remember your place within the school organization!]]> 2017-10-08 17:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195019615 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195066667 I would immediately report the incident to school officials. I would start by following my "chain of command" and initiate vertical communication to the person in charge of my department. This will help avoid confusion and will also explain the details to the person who will take action with this issue. I believe it is my responsibility to report my concern to higher officials to express the importance of communication.]]> 2017-10-09 00:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195066667 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195381215 If I would be in this scenario I would talk to the students and if I don't get what I need then I will file a report of the stolen money. I would announce it to the school in a meeting and talk to them about the incident that occurred. If the problem is not solved then we will bring in the police to find the person that is guilty for the incident because this cannot stay like this. ]]> 2017-10-09 20:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195381215 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195385277 I would take immediate action and talk to the principle about this.I would explain exactly what went on and if i have any suspicion of who it had might be i would go and talk to him.If it doesn't turn out by the end of the day i would have the principle get the police and have them investigate the problem and take action.Depending on how much money they took is how i would take action and how serious the consequences would be.]]> 2017-10-09 20:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195385277 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195651685 I would start by asking students in the classroom where the money disappeared questions, who was in this room last time i saw the money before is went missing. Then talk to my team leader, dept head, and finally user the Vertical commmunication, which is the principle to file a report of the missing money or chain of command as you will.]]> 2017-10-10 15:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195651685 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195774042 First thing I would do is talk to the students first. Before getting administration involved I will first say it's not right to take what does not belong to us, and if you took something from my desk I want it put back in the next few minutes. Then I will step outside for 3 minutes and If nobody put it back then I would say okay I will talk to each and every one of you to see who took it and if nobody turned it in then I will have to get the principal involved along with security and their parents. If nothing was turned in before the end of the day then I would let the principal know, and file a police report if needed.]]> 2017-10-10 18:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195774042 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195826584 If this would ever be the case, I would more than likely tale to my students first and have them discuss the situation as well. An action like that is obviously incorrect and should be taken care of as soon as possible, but aside from that, one has to acknowlegde that it could have been anyone in the school not necessarily the students. If anything, after have a discussion with the class, one as a teacher knows how each student is and will automatically know by non-verbal communication who the theif might be. If the money is not yet found or brought in, I will then proceed to taking it in to the administration and ask for a meeting to be held to discuss the situation. Before getting the police involved, I would want to talk to the parents and discuss the situation with them as well, but if nothing happens then I'd have to file a report and have the police to their job. After the student is found (if it were to be a student), I'd then proceed tot talking to them personally and guide him and advise him/her about the action they took, why they did it, and how it could be fixed. A child was not born a thief, so it is up to the teacher to teach that as well.]]> 2017-10-10 21:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/195826584 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/196529309 If I were to go through something like this, I would quickly report it to the principal. As the principal gets to the classroom, I would then talk to the students and ask who took it and let's see if they tell me the truth in front of their principal. If its not the students, then it could be anyone else in the school, and whoever it was, I would like to set a meeting with the student's parents and the student along with the principal and I. They need to know that its incorrect to take money that does not belong to them. Their punishment may be getting suspended, expelled or arrested.]]> 2017-10-12 16:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/196529309 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/196690386 I would want for the money to be returned first of all, and in order for this to happen I would have to identify the guilty person or student. Best thing to do would be to ask my entire class for the missing money, and give a firm lecture on how it is wrong to take what is not theirs and that stealing comes with consequences. Then I would ask : "who ever took the money, could you please return it?" I would give them the opportunity to return it before directing this issue with the principal. If the money doesn't get returned, and if I find out who took the money, I would set a meeting with student, parent and principal. I would proceed to talk to the student, let him/her know that I am aware that he/she took it and I expect for it to get returned. I would ask for an apology from student and for the parent to talk to student at home of what he/she did was wrong. ]]> 2017-10-13 04:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/196690386 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/196981266 I would would ask the students if they know or saw anyone who took the money, and ask them to return it. If no one were to come upfront I would check into it more to see if it could have been an adult or staff, or just anyone else. I would have a talk with the kids, and let them know about the serious consequences that can happen if they steal. I would give the students a second chance to confess if they took it or not,  and if a kid were to come forward I would confidentially talk to their parents so that they come to an understanding with their kid that stealing is wrong.

I would lecture on this topic like show them videos, read them books, etc. so they can see that it is not right to get things that are not yours. Afterwards, I would give them a second chance to see if it was any of the students. When it's time for the children to go home, I would mention something breifly regarding the situation to the parents so they can help me search their children or belongings, to make sure they didn't take anything. If there are cameras in the classrooms of course I would check on those first, otherwise if the money isn't found take the situation to the principal for further investigation. ]]> 2017-10-14 02:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/196993780 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197071212 Although it was my responsibility to take care of the money, others should know the consequences of doing such a thing. Being said, a report will be filed. I will look into anyone that came into contact that might have been able to take the money. Have them look at the cameras and interview each person who seemed suspicious. From being another coworker or a student. Hopefully not my students because teaching them to respect others belongings is a major key as a teacher. ]]> 2017-10-15 01:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197071212 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197077591 First of all I would check one more time, just to make sure. I would retrace my steps, to see if I might have misplaced it. If at this point, I am certain the money is missing, I would report it to the person in charge of the fundraiser, then to the school officials until it got to the principal. It would be important and necessary to ask students if anybody saw anything, and ask if anybody took it, this would be the time to return it, or they might get in serious trouble. I would also ask for the school officials to check cameras if available to see who entered the classroom when I was not there. Parents should also be informed of the incident, because students eventually have to go home, and parents know them better that the teachers. Teachers and the rest of the personnel should also be informed in case anyone took it, let them know there will be investigation. After all this is done, and the money is not found, then I would let the principal decide if it is proper to involve police, and make a report.]]> 2017-10-15 04:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197077591 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197195603 If I would to ever experience this situation in my classroom, I would try to act as calm as possible and try to think about every single possibility before start pointing fingers. Once I get to the conclusion that no one has entered my classroom except for my students then I would approach to them in a very respectful way. We have to remember they are kids and they need for us to teach them that no matter what we all deserve respect and the benefit of the doubt. I would ask nicely without blaming anyone, if they had seen the money that is so needed for the fundraiser and that if someone saw or someone has it if they could please come to me at the end of the day and I would gladly take it back. I would also explain them about the value of honesty, dignity and how it define us. If none would to come forward with the money then I will file a report with administration.]]> 2017-10-16 02:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197195603 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197203367 I know it was my responsibility so of course I would feel horrible about losing it because it was my responsibility. I would definitely go to the school officials and have a report filed to get everything  done the right way. I would defiantly follow up if they caught who ever was responsible if It was one of my students of course I would be so disappointed in my student and I would get it handled with I would want a parent teacher conference meeting and make sure the student understands the consequences that follow. I will make things right.]]> 2017-10-16 03:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197203367 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197205348 This is a very serious case and this subject would have to be treated carefully and with patience we do not want to blame someone who didn't do it. This was my responsibility so I would first ask the people if they have seen anything, then if no one says anything I would go to the school officials and ask for help and when I find out who it was I would handle this situation with care and talk to that person alone and as we know bad decisions come with consequences. ]]> 2017-10-16 03:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197205348 https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197206114 This is a very serious issue, so I would first talk to my students and let them know what the situation is first. I would also explain to my students the importance of honesty and the seriousness of stealing money. If they don't come out clean they I would take the matter to the principal and supervisors of the school and try to settle everything there. ]]> 2017-10-16 03:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mevans316/mjxhf4m7e4gl/wish/197206114
