[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am tempted to be depressed and feel guilty.... but I want to keep it in perspective.

Guys-- is this a DC Public School problem?  (My Monkey brain goes:  What am I doing to my child putting her in DCPS?! before I rein it in).  Or can this sort of thing really happen anywhere.... what are your thoughts?

I want to say this can happen in a lot of unpredictable places under a lot of circumstances.  And to take standard care and keep up the communication with our kids.  [/quote]

It can and will happen anywhere, but I think it will especially happen in places that lack a professional work environment because the principal or head is also the founder who thinks of the school has his/hers and is personal friends with the teachers.  I assume that the teacher was allowed to continue because the head/principal thought he was a great guy who would never do such a thing.  We they personal friends?  It is hard in a work environment, but as a boss, you want to be friends but still have a critical distance from employees so that you can fire someone when rules are broken (basement play) even if you think them a great guy.
