  1. A teacher finds a student's blog post that criticizes the school's CS curriculum. What is the ethical response?

    Answer: Respect the student's right to free expression and reflect on the feedback

    Students have free expression rights, and professional educators should consider constructive criticism rather than retaliate.

  2. Which action violates intellectual property rights in a CS classroom?

    Copying and distributing protected content without permission infringes copyright, even for educational purposes.

  3. How should a teacher ethically handle a situation where a school policy conflicts with what they believe is best for a student?

    Professionals follow established policies while working to change those they disagree with through legitimate advocacy.

  4. A parent demands to see another student's code because they believe their child's idea was stolen. What should the teacher do?

    Answer: Explain that student records are confidential and investigate through proper channels

    FERPA prohibits sharing one student's records with another student's family; the teacher must investigate confidentially.

  5. What is the most important reason for a teacher to model ethical online behavior for students?

    Using available detection tools to gather evidence before making an accusation is fair and procedurally sound.

  7. Which statement best describes the ethical principle of non-discrimination in CS education?
