Ethical issues deal with questions of right and wrong. Ethics do not deal only with facts. One must take many things into consideration when dealing with an ethical issue. If a teacher were to make certain important decisions using only facts, then that would result in him or her ignoring the feelings of students or ignoring the basic knowledge of right from wrong that humans have.
Ethics are essentially questions of right and wrong.
They concern what we should do and not what we want or need to do. It is important to realize that ethics and values are not the same thing when the teacher is making decisions in the classroom. As humans, we value certain things. When dealing with students and teachers and making decisions, often times we must set aside our values and do what is best for the students in the long run. What we value should not be forced on other people.
