Scenario #1:Steve just moved to a school in Prince William County. One day he was wearing pants too low that revealed his undergarments and a blue bandana was hanging out of his back pocket. That same day, Steve was called to the principal’s office, was suspended for two days and was sent home immediately. Why was Steve called to the office? Which offenses did Steve violate? If you were the principal, should Steve have been suspended? Why or why not?

Scenario #2:Stephanie and Jane are in the office for fighting in the hall during a class change. When writing their statements, they both name Teresa as the source of information which led to the fight. 1.Should Teresa also have to write a statement? Why or why not? 2.Should Teresa also be held accountable for the fight? Why or why not? 3.What should the consequences be for all three students?

Scenario #3:Stacy was so excited! Her entire gym class had successfully passed the Rules of Soccer test, and now they were able to challenge the sixth graders to a soccer game. The winning team would get a pizza party at lunch. The game was tied 2-2 with 20 seconds to go. A sixth grader kicked a ball into the goal, but both of his feet were out of bounds. The sixth graders were screaming victory, but Stacy remembered a rule from their rules test about both feet needing to be within the boundaries for a goal to count. What should happen with the soccer game score? How are rules beneficial? Do rules always seem fair to everyone?
