Two years ago, I was a teacher for Shree Gothhbhanjyang Higher Secondary School at Dalchoki. I teach mathematics for grade 7 to grade 10 students. I always motivated them for studying, playing and doing new activities. The school is situated on top of the hill and there is not enough space for playground. There is only small volleyball playground inside the school. Our school always started from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. At that time students were busing for studying. After finished their class we always played a volleyball game 4:00 PM to 5:00PM. The main aim of this game was to create a good relation with community people and students. So that we could push them. We always played volleyball game after school time.
Suddenly one day one of the existing Mathematics teacher caught the ball and asked them to go home on time. He said that "you are wasting your study time here so you never submit your home”. Immediately I went there and requested him for ball to continue the game. But he didn’t give ball to us. Then we stopped our game. After that I stayed with my students and convince them for doing home regularly so that only we can play the game. After that, I also talked with him (teacher), but he blamed me that "you damaged our children future. They are only motivating in playing not in studying so we faced many problem inside the class so please stop these activity inside school”. And I also asked him "playing is right of students so they can complain about the issue in related stakeholder, you might be faced a problem. That was my one of the biggest ethical dilemma in my professional life. Them I talked with him almost 2 hour then we came up with the solution. Now, we can play a game in the school at 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM but students should submit their homework regularly. Then I called there all of my students and tell them about the clause and they promised me to do homework regularly. Then we played volleyball continuously.
I have learned a lot from there, first I have learned convincing and negotiation skill. In there I talked more time with existing teacher at the end I was able to convince him. Second when any ethical issue arises in our workplace then first we clearly understand the problem and think deeper and handle it positively. The third one is when you realized the one thing is complement for your best thing then never back then you must do both the activities easily. In here the homework is complement of volleyball, if they don’t do homework then we can’t play a game so that they did their duty responsibly. The last is Negotiation is only possible for both win - win situation, in here if we tried to play game forcefully without doing home then there might be big problem so we compromised for homework and he compromised for game. So that last message for all is when analyze, understand, negotiation and compromise are only can solve the serious ethical issue in business or other sector. Negation skill, convincing power, deeper analysis on problem definitely solve ethical dilemma in our professional life (Desjardins, 2009).
