work myself up about something over which I have no control.
Oh, but you do. There is outrage all over the country about the YouTube gone wild. Emails and calls are coming in from coast to coast. Many of them are teachers.
In my limited experience, the Board of Education WILL take action IF they are pressured enough.
This is a massive issue nation-wide about the tenure laws.
Do you get tenure? The NEA is being forced to improve their evaluation of teachers so that only the cream of the crop remain in their teaching positions.
John Stossel presented a very lengthy list of what is required to rid school systems of poor teachers.
This MUST be revised and SOON.
The disgruntled parents from THAT district is what caused this teacher's suspension, but where the frig did the "with pay" come from?
First item on the agenda: the number of incidents (like this) that cause IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL.
What if the incident was not videotaped? Would you have believed the kid?
Many would not have; and for this, and many other reasons, I say put cameras in the classrooms.
The country needs to clean up its act from top to bottom.
Wanna help me? LOL....
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
