This Week At Soleado 11/18-11/22

Character Counts Pillar For The Month: Fairness.

What Is Fairness?

•Fairness implies that each one of us should follow

a standard of rightness without regard to our own

personal feelings or inclinations.

•Fairness implies freedom from prejudice.

•Fairness also implies impartiality about any side.

•The moral obligations of fairness are almost always

associated with the exercise of a person’s power to

render judgments that give benefits to or impose

burdens on other persons.

Fairness is concerned with actions, processes,

and consequences that are morally right,

honorable, and equitable.

In essence, fairness establishes moral standards

for decisions that affect others.

Fair decisions are made in an appropriate manner,

based on appropriate criteria.

The Principles of Fairness

•Treat all people in a fair, just, and impartial way,

based on their merits and abilities.

•Handle all essentially similar situations consistently.

•Make all decisions on appropriate criteria, without

undue favoritism or improper prejudice.

•Promptly and voluntarily correct personal and

institutional mistakes and improprieties.

•Do not take unfair advantage of people’s mistakes

or ignorance.

•Fully consider the rights, interests, and perspectives

of all persons involved or affected.

 Monday:

This Tuesday Nov. 19th, the directories will be bound, sorted and eventually distributed.  We need 2-4 parents to help bind the directories on their premises between 8:30 - 10:30 A.M.  We can meet at school before we go to Rancho Del Mar High School to do this.  If we have more people, we can actually sort the directories into classes as we go and be done with the whole thing by 11:00.  Many hands make light work.  (The printers have their hands full, printing other directories and cannot do the binding.)  Later we will add the PTA memberships to each directory before they are sent to the classrooms.
