Former Teacher Arrested On Charges Of Delinquency

[Sheba]

All the headlines about teachers really anger me. I am a teacher, and I love what I do. First, I don't understand going into a classroom with a personal agenda to fulfill. For me, teaching is like motherhood. You plant all the good that you are into your kids and then watch to see it reproduce. That's the personal aspect.

Secondly, I can't understand school administration not having some idea that there was a situation that needed some intervention. Come on! Be brave enough to weed out the bad teachers. That is a real need in the education field.

Third, why does a situation get to "crash & burn" level before authoriities step in to manage. She has a record of negligence with her own children - why should she be in charge of anyone else's?

We need a tighter system - these are our kids & our future!! Prevention vs. reaction!!
