Situation 3: Personal Lifestyle
This situation is about a teacher who has a good reputation in the school where she works and well like by her students.

Situation 14:School Prayer
This situation is about a coach who have prayer with his team and one of the team member objects having prayer. Although the coach is trying hard to be sensitive and not offend anyone, this particular team member is still offended. The coach offer this person to leave the gym whenever the team was about to pray. The coach has broken the law. According to the law, there is a separation between school and state. Although students can form religious clubs, teachers are not allow to promote or force any religion on the students. As teachers, we need to be considerate of other people religion and beliefs. The best thing to do I think is to never bring up anything about religion at all.
