Test III. Short Answer Questions. Write your answer on a separate sheet. (5 points each)
1. Can an employee be fired for having extra marital affairs? Explain your answer.
Yes, employee can be fired for having extra-marital affairs since professionalism entails
not interfering with the personal affairs of another. However, when it comes to extra- marital
affairs, it may be a ground to fire an employee. Engaging in illicit relationships, despite being
married, may constitute as just cause for dismissal on the ground of serious misconduct
through immorality as evidenced by the Employee’s violation of the Company’s Employee
Code of Conduct.
2. Will a teacher be dismissed by a conviction in a case? Explain your answer
Yes, a teacher will be dismissed by a conviction in a case since it’s one of the causes for
dismissal which also includes immoral conduct, incompetence, neglect of duty,
insubordination and whatnot. However, a school must show cause in order to dismiss a
teacher who has attained tenure status. Some state statutes provide a list of circumstances
where a school may dismiss a teacher. These circumstances are similar to those in which a
state agency may revoke a teacher's certification.
3. What is School Community Environment?
When used by educators, the term school community typically refers to the various
individuals, groups, businesses, and institutions that are invested in the welfare and vitality
of a public school and its community—i.e., the neighborhoods and municipalities served by
the school. The term school community also implicitly recognizes the social and emotional
attachments that community members may have to a school, whether those attachments
are familial, experiential, professional, civic, or socioeconomic.
4. Mr. H, a family man and a Filipino went to Saudi Arabia as OFW. The law of Saudi
Arabia allows men to marry more than one wife. Can Mr. H contract a marriage in
Saudi Arabia? Explain your answer.
No, Mr. H cannot contract a marriage in Saudi Arabia since he’s a family man and the
law which allows men to marry more than one wife only applies to Arabians. Also, a Arabian
man is only allowed to take multiple wives if he can meet certain conditions
under shari’a law. For example, he must have the financial capacity to afford another
marriage and provide for another wife and her family. He must also treat each wife equally.
Each wife should have her own individual living quarters and kitchen. Polygamy may occur
in cases where the first wife is unable to bear children

GOD BLESS!!!
