    1. Depending on the teacher’s interpretation, she might believe that she should not report the student for cheating because it would impact his grade point average and cause more stress for his mother.

      That is the difficult thing because when a teacher creates a bond with her students, she will feel bad reporting him for cheating because they can see the negative effects that'll escalate. However, if they disregard what they did, then they will continue to do so because they never knew that they needed to face consequences for their actions. Then in the long run there will be more harm than good.

    2. It helps with what you should do. It does not provide specific directions on what to do or even how to do it.

      That is a difficult thing about an educator: they tell you what to do but they don't specifically state how that will be done. There are no direct steps they should follow. Often they have to get help from colleagues who figured it out on their own as well.

    3. The educator strives to help each student realize his or her potential as a worthy and effective member of society.

      Teachers often have to do this for their students because some students don't have people seeing their potential at home. You have to be their role model and show them that they are worthy and their education is important.

    4. In determining whether or not to incorporate the text, the teacher must ask himself if he is truly presenting different points of view.

      It is fascinating that as an educator there are so many things you have to consider. When considering adding a book that you believe would benefit your students, you must evaluate whether it represents multiple points of view rather than just one perspective.

    5. It is a framework that a teacher can use to help make decisions about what is right or wrong in a given situation.

      Just because that is the framework that has been given to teachers does not mean that it is right or wrong. A teacher can't make up their own opinion because it is already given to them, and that isn't necessarily the best way to teach in a classroom just what is already chosen for them.
