Frumin is wholly incompetent and won't do anything. You'll have better luck with the media.

Huh? Frumin is the best most responsive council member. He's done so much for ward 3 schools

You're gonna have to show your work here.

This explains so much. Parents have complained about this teacher to the admin, and have been told to their faces that they are racist for even bringing it up.
So sick of the gaslighting. And now the news that the Hearst principal is leaving at the end of the year. Just chaos over there and it breaks our hearts.

Democrat politicians don’t care about educating our children.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, okay.

So, if the teacher was never convicted of anything what exactly should we be protesting and contacting every news station about? There’s not even a trace of it in the Maryland Judiciary Case Search.

If there’s a video of this adult striking a student, as the news article in the first post claims, it’s pretty concerning for any adult of a student who might interact with this adult on a daily basis. If I was a parent of a student in this person’s class, I would not be reassured at all by him not actually being convicted.

I know there is a teacher shortage and all, but this is really the best 4th grade teacher they could find?

The political comments are obnoxious. Can we get to the facts? Has this actually been raised to Hearst Administration and what did they say?

[Anonymous]

It sounds like Hearst admin did nothing to address the concerns. I am a Hearst parent and it is sad that 4th grade has had so many issues.The last 4th grade ELA teacher also had many issues, though was very nice.

This is concerning. Has this been addressed by the administration and PTA at Hearst?

[Anonymous]

Nobody addressed. Principal resigned (not related) so I doubt anything will be done.

Whoa, thank you for sharing this.

Do we know if the claims by OP are accurate? I don't care about his past, but am concerned if this behavior continues.

School systems sometimes never get rid of problematic teachers...

It’s the unions!

A relative was a superintendent and she said she couldn’t fire a teacher who allegedly physically hurt a student because of the union!

Another teacher who allegedly did something sued, got a huge settlement and was able to teach elsewhere.

This was not in the DMV.

This is bs. Pure bs. Teachers unions are useless and mostly do not protect teachers particularly when a teacher abuses a student. Teachers are fired all the time for this type of stuff.

I can post anything I want and make up all kinds of crap when I give no specifics.

Go away troll.



Ewwww Trump supporter.

No it’s not the ‘unions.’ If a teacher did something deplorable and came out unscathed it’s the school system and the law that let that happen.

I have also heard of some teachers who said if a HS student punches them they will defend themselves.

You have no idea how many of these kids hit teachers and nothing also happens to them as well. Or they hit other children and nothing happens.

I am not a Trump supporter.

I do not believe bad teachers, people who misuse medical leave, lazy people should be protected or be able to change schools.

A relative of mine who was a teacher, principal, and then superintendent (not in DMV) told me years ago a teacher physically hurt a special needs student (student did nothing), people saw and the teacher could not be fired. They have multiple stories that would get most any other person fired, but they couldn't fire the teacher allegedly because of the union.

Another teacher relative, turned administrator (I have a lot of family in public education) has said similar things. This person finally left public education and their pension behind.

I have heard all sorts of incidents from these family members and their friends who also work or worked in public education.

Another relative who does work in DCPS basically does the very bare minimum (talks about it proudly) but made sure their children got into a top charter.

Once a teacher gets tenure it can be difficult to fire.

I do think teachers should be paid more especially excellent ones and I have been in debates with the above people because I personally think teachers and principals should be paid more than superintendents and the like. My family members who moved to admin posts all would have preferred to stay teaching, but could not afford to do so as they were the breadwinners of the family.

Random outburst?
