Churchill science teacher escorted off campus today?

When the silence from the school doesn't match what students told parents, I have to wonder if this is just another successful cover up by MCPS. If any type of kissing took place, he should not be in contact with students.

Anything? What are your kids hearing?

He should quit. Even if he’s cleared or found not guilty, DCUM has ruled him unfit and will never take a step back. I don’t see how he can continue teaching if that is his reputation now.

Are you kidding? I’ve worked with teachers in MCPS who have been on and off par for years, and who have taken such poor care of their health that they’ve traumatized students by losing consciousness in their presence at regular intervals, and who have DWIs and domestic violence convictions, and who have had affairs with supervises, and who are just plain skeevy and harass female coworkers, or who friend female students online. All of these teachers are still gainfully employed by MCPS, despite many, many parent and coworker complaints. Meanwhile, working with these loser teachers and skeevy teachers bums out the solidly good ones, and so they’re then the ones who leave to find new schools. Sometimes in the county, sometimes not.

Thank you for posting a reality check on the types of people MCPS employs to teach our children. No wonder MCPS is such a sh@t show right now including Churchill High School.

I wonder if Mrs. Heckert would want her daughter in a class with the Biology teacher?

What does bringing him back tell female students how they can expect to be treated by male staff members?

Two of my DC dealt with this as well. So illegal.

Your child should have been counseled by you that this could happen and told how to handle that situation. Mine was, told that teacher she wanted to call her parents, and refused to cooperate until she spoke with us That teacher was suspended by the time I was finished with her sorry ass. She was a bully. Teach your children to stand up for themselves and hold their ground.

You sound like the bully.

Kind of reminds me of the Washington Post story last year about the teacher at Blair. No matter how many girls came forward and his actions for over a decade, MCPS kept the teacher at Blair in place. MCPS would rather ignore a serious problem than to do what is necessary to protect students.

As an MCPS teacher at two middle schools in the last 10 years, this does not match my experience at all. It is not behavior you find in most schools.

It’s my experience, but perhaps it’s principal-specific or luck of the draw.

You may not know people’s histories, too.

Thank you. You are correct but, our family has a fault of putting our head down and barreling right through hell. I am still considering my options so it never happens to anyone else.

Good for you. You are a very good parent.

I also haven’t seen this where I have taught in 15 years, but I have witnessed so much racism and homophobia by staff. I’m going to believe you because I know I have reported coworkers for saying soul crushing things to children, particular black and brown boys. They didn’t seem to face any consequences.

Bwahahah -- I think you mean "chunking."

It's another ridiculous education "theory" for saying: "split it up into sections" like every teacher I had in the 60s and 70s taught. Really, didn't the parents teach their children how to approach a math problem or social studies project back in elementary school?? Teachers really are raising the kids these days.

I think she means taking 15-20 min of a 45 min assessment on one day and then another 15-20 min section another day. This is a common SPED accommodation and totally appropriate for a TBI.
