The correct answer to the question: Which professional tenet has the educator violated? Would be: Protecting students from any practice that harms, or has the potential to harm, students.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the answer comes from the very principle placed in the question: Principle II: Responsibility for Professional Competence: C: The professional educator acts in the best interest of all students.

In this scenario, specifically, the educator finds herself with the situation of a student that she has learned places that student in direct danger. He has to walk home every day and go through a portion of town where gang problems are present. Not only that, but she learns that her student has had to face fights with these gang members on several ocassions, which means that her student has faced not only harm, but the danger of becoming involved with gangs. Instead of acting as she should have professionally, which was to seek the best steps to help the student resolve his issue, she decides to only tell him to be careful and never says anything about the case. This completely violates her duty as a teacher to protect her students and ensure that potential harming situations are dealt with appropriately.
