Discussions of Part 2 of Book 5 collaborate on policy violations in the workplace. This part discussion address a variety perspectives regarding the legal issues involved in the case of a teacher's alleged violation of current policy, resulting in his or her dismissal from his or her teaching position. Performing as an arbiter and facilitator, the governing board member and dean address whether the dismissal was justified or not and explains the part that community politics play in the decision-making process. As a plaintiff, student explains his or her view on the same issues, and a teacher-defendant attempts to defend him or herself after an evaluation of material presented by all stockholders in the case study. The plaintiff is expected to add substance by accumulating all written documentation and evidence regarding the student complaint.
