In response to the blog What Would You DO? I choose to reply to scenario 2.
The Scenario is: You are at your EAT field site. Although you know you are supposed to have your phone put away at your field site, you check it and see that you have a message from another intern in your class. He said that he had an early dismissal and left the field site campus just a little early, but when he did, he forgot to sign out. You think this is a bit strange because you never saw him ride the bus to your field site in the first place, but you agree to sign him in and out because you want to let him know he can trust you. After all, Mrs. Meddlesome, your EAT teacher, stressed that it is important to establish relationships with your students and others with whom you work.
In this scenario I would have not signed him out because, if he was never on the bus then he should not receive credit for being at his field site. Trust is an important relationship to have with your fellow staff but in dishonesty is not the way to establish it.
