Mmmm ethics ethics

5 AUGUST

Now that I’ve made the transcription I noticed two things: 1. I took over entirely for I had to explain everything to Au in a nutshell, what we had done, what we were intending to do and how.
2. I didn’t actually hear Sandra say that she didn’t like the topic of abortion and she felt that the lesson wouldn’t be quite as good. T’s demotivation? Motivation clashes again?, which made me think whether she should be open to the stu, tell them that she doesn’t feel comfortable with it and whether it’d be a good idea to deal with drugs/decriminalisation which was the second most voted topic. I’ll ask her today what she thinks.
This has made me wonder to what extent we need to accept what stu say and want and to what extent we need to negotiate and compromise so that one’s wishes/interests whatever are not carried out at the expense of others’, in this case the teacher’s. If she already feels the lesson will be crappy, do we still have to go on? Who am I to still push her to do sthg she doesn’t really want to do? Wouldn’t it be fair to discuss this with the stu and say ‘ok, we can still debate/discuss/exchange opinions and watch videos and all that but with another topic? FOOD FOR THOUGHT
