Accepting that a tutors job is to monitor her students, to what level should
the monitoring take place, is education really justifiably more intrusive
than an employer monitoring their workforce, and ensuring their
organisational security?
Are the two areas not generically similar, with similar levels of respect to
the individuals concerned required?
A simple way of achieving some consistency would seem to be to use similar
codes as generic base guides, involving the persons concerned (or their
representatives), in initially determining and refining the rules in
particular contexts, and then applying them effectively.
Organisational cultures do differ, but the issues for an individual in their
exchanges seem to remain where possible somewhat generically similar, in
similar contextual contacts with different organisations, unless
significantly different influencing factors are brought into play.
I support the observations made by Andrew on this one in utilising similar
codes as baseline starting points.
