Recently in the news media, there has been extensive coverage of a school shooting incident at a major university. Richard Montez, a student in Mr. Enriques’ class, is involved in a discussion about the shooting and launches into a major defense of the shooter and the shooter’s motives. Everyone in the class is shocked, including Mr. Enriques. Which of the following should be Mr. Enriques’ first step in handling this situation?
  1. Telling the principal immediately following class
  2. Discussing with another teacher after school
  3. Minimizing the incident as a one-off event
  4. Calling Richard’s parents after school
Explanation
Answer: A - Telling the principal immediately following class. When something occurs that is seriously concerning to the teacher (and other students as well), the first person to consult is the principal, who is the leader of the school. While the issue may be a misunderstanding, but creates fear, a person in a leadership position must be consulted.
