Scenario 2 Pathetic, a grade 1 learner was accused of clogging the toilet by her teacher. Pathetic was ordered by her teacher to unclog the toilet with her bare hands. The student had not clogged the toilet on purpose; it happened naturally. Yet the teacher told her to clean her waste and toilet paper out with her bare hands.

1. A professional teacher refers to an individual who has undergone the required training and possesses necessary skills in instructional methodologies to facilitate effective teaching and learning. These professionals understand the ethical code of conduct in the teaching realm, exerting immense effort to foster a safe, positive, and inclusive learning environment that caters to the varying needs of students. Additionally, they instill values of lifelong learning and motivate students towards a successful educational journey, engendering a positive impact in their lives. Scenario 1: Mrs. Karateka did not act in a professional manner. Reason 1: A teacher's role should be to create a safe and conducive environment for learning, not put the students' physical safety at risk by teaching aggressive defensive holds. Reason 2: The incident leading to a student passing out is a clear indication of lack of professionalism. It shows disregard for the students' welfare and safety. Scenario 2: The teacher did not act in a professional manner. Reason 1: A professional teacher should offer guidance and should solve problem considerately. Accusing and punishing a student for an accident and forcing them to do a degrading task is not professional. Reason 2: The teacher's action subjected the student (Pathetic) to a potentially harmful and certainly degrading situation, which is contrary to the duty of care required in their profession. Scenario 3: Mr. Excitement did not act professionally. Reason 1: All students should be transported safely and according to the school's policy on student transportation. Over-stuffing a car and putting students in a trunk breaches safety rules and regulations and is highly unprofessional. Reason 2: A professional teacher should have made alternate transport arrangements or contacted the school for help instead of making an impulsive decision that put the students' safety at risk.
