In this heartfelt and thoughtful episode of Teacher Talk Time, we explore one of the most emotionally complex parts of teaching: ethical dilemmas.

Have you ever faced a moment where two good values clashed — fairness vs. kindness, rules vs. professional judgment, honesty vs. pressure? If yes, you’ve experienced a teacher ethical dilemma.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

🔹 What an ethical dilemma is and why it’s so common in teaching

🔹 Real examples ESL/EFL teachers face in grading, discipline, and classroom decisions

🔹 How these situations affect your teaching performance, confidence, and well-being

🔹 A practical 9-step thinking toolkit for making thoughtful, professional decisions

🔹 The importance of reflection, support, and acknowledging that you are not alone

💡 Ethical dilemmas don’t make you a bad teacher — they show that you care deeply and want to do what’s right. This episode is your guide to navigating them with clarity and compassion.

🎯 Challenge of the week: Choose one step from the toolkit to apply to a difficult decision. You’ll feel more grounded, more prepared, and more professional.
