The Problematology of Supervising Student Teachers

  • Chapter

Abstract

Recently, while watching the news regarding the latest sex scandal involving an American politician, I was reminded of Bill Clinton’s discussion of his affair with Monica Lewinsky in a 2004 interview with Dan Rather on 60 Minutes. Clinton said that he had the affair “Just because I could” (McDermott, 2009, para. 15). He went on to say “I think that’s just about the most morally indefensible reason that anybody could have for doing anything – when you do something just because you could” (para. 16).
