My name's Ajay. I've been working with a group of disengaged year 9 students for close to a term now. Our Principal and the other teaching staff have little time for these students. In fact, the Principal has been open in stating that he is looking for an opportunity to move these children on. It has taken a while to get their trust as these children have been let down by a series of adults throughout their lives, but I feel like I am getting there. While I don't have favourites, I do have one student who I really do want to see get through. The student's name is Lee. Lee comes from an abusive family and has low self-esteem. Lee has a history of substance misuse. He has started attending school more regularly and I am seeing progress in his academic performance and importantly, his self-esteem and mental health. More recently Lee's stepfather and mother have decided that they are moving interstate. They've told Lee that he will need to move in with his father who has a new young family and is open in his disinterest in him. Lee arrived at school a little unsteady on his feet. When he entered the classroom, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming. The question is 1. Identify an ethical issue or problem presented in your selected case study (Identification of ethical issue/problem and stakeholders, and explanation of effects). 2. Identify the stakeholders and explain how they might be affected. My name's Ajay. I've been working with a group of disengaged year 9 students for close to a term now.
