iPhone

However, these gains would be erased if she reports his recent theft of her iPhone. The school’s contract with teachers requires them to report cases of indiscipline to the administration. Failure to comply could lead to payment docking or termination of employment. Although she knows all about these risks, she also knows that Wesley is facing many issues at home and could end up in jail if reported. She needs the job to support herself and her husband as well as their future family. She has to decide on the course of action to take (Levinson & Fay, 2018). Noting this dilemma, I think Ms. Smith should give Wesley an option to give the phone back or report him. In that case, she would be giving him a chance to show a willingness to work with her to better his life. Should he refuse, he will have demonstrated that he wants to face the consequences and is not worth saving. If he gives it back, Ms. Smith can still report the case but indicate to the administration that he has learned his lesson and should be given a second chance. In this way, she can satisfy both her need to better his life and her obligation to her employers.
