Semen On A Spoon: How To Fire A Teacher
It's proven near-impossible to get rid of crappy teachers in recent years -- with a few recent exceptions (like the sicko recently arrested in in Torrance). Ian Lovett writes for The New York Times:
LOS ANGELES -- The entire faculty at Miramonte Elementary School, where two teachers were arrested last week on accusations of child sexual abuse, will be replaced by new teachers this week, the Los Angeles Unified School District superintendent announced Monday night.Speaking to hundreds of parents at a meeting called to address the crisis at Miramonte, Superintendent John Deasy announced the school would be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and when students returned on Thursday, an entirely new corps of teachers and staff members would have been hired to greet them. All current teachers, administrators and staff members will be moved to a school still under construction for the rest of the school year, where they will be interviewed by school officials and, if necessary, the police.
In addition, a psychiatric social worker will be assigned to every class once the school reopens. Every student in the school district who attended Miramonte will also be interviewed.
Mr. Deasy said he felt a personal responsibility to do two things: help children who were victims, and restore parents' trust in the school district.
Sorry, but you aren't going to do that by firing only the sexual sickos in your employ.
