 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">What is the right to do?
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">What do you think the Ms. Whitlock should do?

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">How do the following parties feel -- Ms. Whitlock, Mr. James, the principal, her students?
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">Why is it so difficult to find a solution that will satisfy this dilemma? (What are the side effects that make it difficult for Denise to do the right thing?)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">Using the collaboration capability of Google, work with your group to answer the questions above while logged into the same Google doc.
