Dilemma Pnfilo teaches TOEFL to students in their last semester at the university. If they pass his course, they can skip the test completely and get their title. He has 40 students per class and is teaching 5 different courses all together. He uses the 1st partial of 5 to notice the students that need most help. Ada is in her last semester and does particularly badly on the exam. She confesses she doesnt think she can pass the TOEFL because she is blocked and, by the way, hates grammar. On the second exam Pnfilo notices something funny about Sara. He stares at her trying to figure out what is wrong. When he picks up the exam and asks her something he figures it out. This is not Sara! He asks her to stay after the exam to talk. The new girl is Saras cousin and is studying her masters degree in the same university. Pnfilo knows the university is very strict with forgery and will expel both of them if he reports the incident but will fire him if he doesnt report it and they find out.Do they deserve to be singled out and academically destroid? Especially when Sara was driven to temptation from fear of not being able to graduate? 11. Ping-Pong The person who is talkig decides who is going to answer. The teacher doesnt intervene unless rules arent followed (respect for one another and ping-pong principle)Lind , Georg (2007) La Moral Puede Ensearse: Manual terico-prctico de la formacin moral y democrtica, trillas. 12.
