We just had a woman teacher booted for messing with students, quebec had a rc school secretary doing porn, sex ed classes being taught how to give a good bj, a principal stealing over $100k (just a demotion iirc), etc., etc.

This is the disciplinary decisions from ontario's college of teachers, it's a pain because they are all pdf's, but about every "revoked" is a sex assault.

just one more reason we homeschool

Ontario is but one province, about the population size of just one mid sized state. Only 3 of our provinces publish hearings findings for the general public.
BC also has a similar website.
Professional Conduct - Archived BCCT Discipline Decisions

One that stuck out is a woman Tiffany Angus who had sex with student(s) and lost her license to teach in Ontario. She moved to BC and began teaching again. Luckily they found out and she was again suspended (fired).
The thing that gets me is you can cheat, plagiarize, lie, steal, sleep, etc. and get only a slap on the wrist. Like I said a sex offense is about the only thing you will get fired for in a union school board.

Do the states (your state) also make these decisions public?
Have you ever bothered to look?

You have to drive your kids to school and pick them up because you can't be sure they can get home safe.
A parent almost has to go to school with the child to protect them from faculty,predators, or other students.
With all that has happened to and in schools over the past ten years alone it is a good argument for why many parents homeschool there own children.
These days with the technology maybe online schooling is the way to go.

Many sly people want to get rid of public schools. Once you do that, you wind up with an un-educated populace, except for the very rich, who can then more easily dominate society.

Now that is the open sewer.

Vouchers...let the parents choose the school.

Besides, the rich don't dominate society now?

Teacher can’t be fired for this tasteless F’book crack about kids, judge rules

A Brooklyn teacher — fired for posting snarky online comments suggesting her unruly students should drown — can go back to the classroom, a judge says.

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Barbara Jaffe last week overturned an administrative decision to boot Christine Rubino, who taught at PS 203 in Flatlands, for posting “repulsive” comments on Facebook.

A blow to the city Department of Education, the ruling underscores the grueling process to fire teachers accused of misconduct or incompetence. Even after lengthy administrative trials, judges can reverse decisions either way, and prolong a costly battle.

“After today, I’m thinking the beach sounds like a wonderful idea for my 5th graders. I HATE THEIR GUTS! They are all the devils spawn!” Rubino wrote on Facebook on June 23, 2010.

She made the remarks one day after a 12-year-old Harlem girl, Nicole Suriel, drowned on a school trip to a Long Island beach.

When a Facebook friend asked, “oh you would let little Kwame float away!’’ Rubino posted in reply, “Yes, I wld not throw a life jacket in for a million!!”

While “offensive” and “repulsive,” the comments were posted outside the school building and after hours, Jaffe ruled.

The judge found no evidence that Rubino, frustrated by her students’ rowdy behavior, meant them actual harm or that the comments “affected her ability to teach.”

Jaffe even gave Rubino a pass for allegedly obstructing an investigation. A friend of Rubino admitted she lied when she claimed authorship of the ugly comments, but Rubino denied asking her to do so. Rubino’s “clumsy attempt at a cover-up reflects panic, not planning,” the judge wrote.

In firing Rubino last June, hearing officer Randi Lowitt said Facebook and other social media “are becoming embedded in society.” Lowitt chided, “People post without regard to the fact that what they post has a shelf life of forever.”

Jaffe differed. “Even though [Rubino] should have known that her postings could become public,” the judge wrote, it was “reasonable” to expect that only her Facebook adult friends would see them.

Citing Rubino’s “unblemished” 15-year teaching history, Jaffe voided the termination and sent her back to the department for a “lesser penalty.”

Rubino, who made $78,885 a year, won’t go back on the payroll so fast because the department may appeal.

Rubino's lawyer, Bryan Glass, said, "A simple warning to Ms. Rubino about her mistake would have sufficed, and it would not have been repeated. Perhaps in this time of scarce resources, the substantial time and money on this case could be better allocated by the DOE supporting its teachers in the classroom rather than demonizing and punishing its staff."

This man should be given a special sentence.

You put him in General Population.
You tell every prisoner that they get a day off their sentence every time they rape him.
They will not kill him, because then their golden goose is gone....instead, he will be raped many times a day until he kills himself, or is released.
Either way, once he is prey he will never want to endure that again.
I also think this would be a good preventative measure for others that entertain the thoughts this creature had.

Cost to us citizens.....nada.
Result.........................priceless.

If that was my child, he would have broken in to prison and prayed every night that he never got out and that I never got to him.
