[quote=Anonymous]Do you work?  It appears as though you don't.

If I'm wrong, then let's put a video camera in your office so we can see you picking your nose and listen to you fart and burp whenever the urge hits.

You don't get it.

Yes, there are fucking freaks of nature in the classrooms, but the majority of teachers are not in that category.

When I read posts like this, I often think that the PPs were abused themselves but never fully came to terms with that. So now there's this obsession with becoming Big Brother by creating a controlled environment where everyone is under scrutiny.

just plain weird . . .

I teach.  I work with quite a few dedicated individuals who would NEVER harm a child.

I fail to see how this need to spy on teachers will stop abuse from happening.  If people are predators, they will find a way to abuse kids OUTSIDE of the classroom.

And honestly, PP, do you THINK teachers are fondling kids during an English lesson?   :roll:

And we wonder why this country is falling apart????

What 'right' are you talking about?  The right to be alone with kids in your classroom without anyone looking at you.   I guess I disagree.   I think the rights of children to have a safe environment are also important.  There needs to be some check or control point on the teacher, whether it is having other adults present or cameras or something.  I am open to suggestions.

Also,

-  If a concern is raised, no one at the school should make the call on whether an investigation should take place.

-  Teachers should not be allowed to socialize with students outside of school related activities.

-   There should be lots of ongoing training and awareness campaigns for teachers, staff, students, and parents.

It is pretty clear to me that in sports, churches, schools and other places where children are overseen by unrelated adults, you will find child predators.  They fish where the fish congregate.  We can't live in a dream world about this.  I don't think MCPS is focused on this issue, though.  That guy Starnes still teaches at Kemp Mill ES, afterall.
