Kill a child and keep on teaching

This teacher killed a child. Why isn't she in prison? I couldn't believe that she just went to another state and kept on teaching. Notice the article didn't give her name. The guilty get protection. Who protects children from monsters?

There should be a national registry of teachers who have committed abuse or are simply unfit to teach.

This is so sad--why do they let stuff like this happen???

The colleges that trained these special ed teachers need to lose their accredation pending a full investigation into their currculum but the school districts are also at fault. Too many special ed teachers enter the field and then find out the hard way that the school districts are now dumping their mentally disturbed, chronically difficult personalities in with their mentally retarded students simply to get them out of the classrooms where their easier to handle classmates are educated.

That people like the child killer are finding and keeping teaching jobs indicates how few special ed teachers there are for the number of jobs that need them.
It also indicates something else: It tells you that the school districts do an outstandingly p--s poor job of monitering/evaluating their teachers in their classrooms.

I know of one teacher who kept his job after posting on his blog that "some people should raise hogs instead of children, because you can eat the hogs."

I think that we should provide funding to properly care for all children. I'm an advocate of paying special ed teachers a very good salary and providing more training.

One problem is the practice of passing along bad teachers. In return for leaving without a fuss, bad teachers get a good job reference. Anyone involved in this practice should serve a jail term.

That hog-raising advocate is a real asset to the teaching field isn't he? (NOT!)
The problem with that guy is that he was probably just smart enough to keep his mouth shut around the people he worked with. Naturally if he blurted something like that out at work, he wouldn't be working long.
