I think you did not abandon any value and took effort to balance appropriately. the balance between diffrent values is importnat but difficult for leaders.

Do you think your decision would be different today based on your growth from the winter 2003 to present, in our post 9/11 era? I react based on what I know at the time. I believe my ethics of care, justice, and critique are situational and experiential. My meta-values are more over-arching.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143309612822378727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729973233194695145.post-42917482185824841182008-10-18T14:32:00.000-04:002008-10-18T14:32:00.000-04:00Maria,Your talent as a storyteller and your presen...Maria,<BR/>Your talent as a storyteller and your presentation of the complexity of your principalship adds so much richness to this account. Empathy between professionals dealing with such dilemmas runs deep, and I found myself rooting for you not to call the police until the little girl left for the night.

Your meta-value of profession is well grounded in molding the minds of future leaders so that the lights in them will surface and shine the brightest.

I believe that the environment you had created in this school, by not questioning the past of the parents, was reinforced by this incident. Were you aware of any other parents that might have had violent tendencies based on past history?

This is one of those cases that one must choose one ethic over the other unless you chose creative insubordiantion, which in my mind is what happened. I thank a greater power that it all worked out.

I am sure the intra-personal conflict of deciding what to do and how to handle the situation during the presentation was immense.
