<br />
No surprise to me here. Most of the time accusations like this are made against teachers by students who chronically break the rules. I suppose they feel like they have to "push back."<br />

Pat Doube is now working at a fish factory thanks to false allegations from the child of Lisa Karl. The parent claimed that Mrs Doube taped the child's mouth shut with tape for talking too much. She was later exonerated by the authorities but has been unable to find a job in teaching.<br />

The public got hold of her blog and she was placed on leave. She eventually returned to the classroom but was not rehired by the local board as of the last few weeks. Sadly, there is an entire site devoted to students with an axe to grind against their teachers, but this woman is pilloried for stating what most of us already know: we got some major problems in our youth. We have issues that would make James Dean seem respectful. I guess being a teacher means one should have low standards for behavior. Otherwise, you end up like Natalie Munroe when you call attention to the obvious.<br />

Donald Switzer took the stand in his own defense. He is accused of groping a student who was held after Spanish class to finish an assignment.<br />
<br />
I had a student get back at me for keeping her after class. It was ok for her to disrupt class and not do her work. My sin was keeping her for 5 minutes during lunch to get her started. The following day she said she'd had a panic attack that I ignored. Things are really starting to look like a witch hunt when a man gives a nudge on the chest to some laggard and ends up in court fighting for his name and freedom.<br />

Whether it was lying, sneaky, evasive attempts to avoid responsibility, an air of entitlement, irresponsible behavior. <br />
<br />
There is no way around it. You can't know darkness unless you know the light and visa versa. <br />
<br />
A mother is complaining that a teacher's giving her daughter "the catastrophe award" is bullying. The award is given to students with the most excuses for not doing their homework. Maybe attempting to ween her daughter or toilet train her can be considered bullying too. Certainly, that caused some trauma to the child as she had to make a change. That is what growing up and being responsible entail. My question is always "What would you prefer, an uneducated adult who knows no shame?" Aren't we already doing a great job of producing enough of that right now?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2012/05/30/catastrophe-award-given-to-8-year-old-student/">http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2012/05/30/catastrophe-award-given-to-8-year-old-student/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I believe the award is not meant to be taken so literally. "Yes but the child is only a child and will take it that way." But you can't have it both ways. This kid uses the fact that they are a child to get a free pass regarding, not just irresponsible behavior, but also lying. Huh? Sure. All those excuses are basically lies and adults know it and just accept it because "she's just a child." <br />

alarming that you send your kid with your schools, you think they are
safe and protected, and these types of goings on are happening. It is
very disturbing.</i>”<br />
<br />
Genoa Middle School mother, Kim Bush.<br />
<br />
<br />
What was disturbing? That a teacher had texted a female student on a field trip asking for pictures?<br />
<br />
What? Why is this disturbing? The teacher is asking her for pictures to share with the class when she returns.<br />
<br />
It seems it was unusual in that it was a list to be used in case of emergency. A concerned parent could have taken it to the school and waited for the facts to come out. But this went right to the press, probably ending his career. For a teacher to be suspected of sexual improprieties when it is far more likely he was trying to raise morale by asking a student to share their experience, exposes the nasty sentiment some parents feel for male teachers.<br />

I had a chubby little boy that snagged a candy bar meant for someone else during a question and answer game I played right before Halloween. He ate it immediately and when he got a question correct and asked for a candy bar, I said "it looks like you've had enough already," since he had grabbed the other one beforehand. One of my students immediately streamed to the office claiming I had called him "fat." I was expected to meet with the principal with my union rep in tow. The principal then said that no student had come forward claiming I called him "fat" so the issue was moot. This same student went on to accuse me of trying to film her chest the following year and helped end my career. The same year, I was playing basketball with a student during lunch and a couple of kids sat on the sidelines laughing if I missed a shot, etc. I glanced over and saw pizza in their hands and said "why don't you go get another slice of pizza." The kid is chubby, but I'd have said it to a skinny kid too. I thought they were being brazenly rude to a teacher who was minding his own business. The kid hated me from then on even after I tried to explain. Maybe you can pick him out from the ones that tweeted that they had me fired. <br />

<br />
When teachers are accused of violence there are typically tell tale signs. Sexual abuse, on the other hand, is particularly troublesome. Usually, it implies a student was alone with the teacher and there are no other witnesses. There is also next to no evidence...well...I suppose it depends on what was alleged. So it comes down to one person's word versus that of the other.<br />
<br />
The jury acquitted David Loren Bennett of Melchor-Dallas HS after the girl's story started to fall apart. Let us hope he can get on with his life.<br />

Why is it a teacher can bore the living daylights out of students for that amount of time and that is called "normal operation," while the second any physical contact is made becomes the beginning of a lawsuit or police action? No offense to the teachers trying to do their jobs. We did not demand that students be there. The state did. But the teachers get saddled with most of the responsibility when they end up in such a pressure cooker.<br />

Ben David Cowan, a science teacher at Rio Hondo High School, was locked out of his room by a student. Upon gaining entrance, he allegedly put his hands on the students neck. The real question should be whether he squeezed or this was a way of joking and blowing off steam. He was served at his house by law enforcement.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Then there is the story of the other students who were collared. A teacher in Florida used an animal collar as the "cone of shame." I suspect it was done for some tongue in cheek humor. Does anyone truly believe "The flogging will continue until morale improves," is meant to be taken literally? Generally speaking, many kids like that kind of humor. They watch horror movies because they get bored with the enclosing safety of 4 walls around them and 25 safety nets under them. <br />

Well said.<br />
I still recall getting the mug that said "You make a world of Difference and are Appreciated" at the same time my district was doing whatever they could to ignore my contribution and magnify any transgressions they could find. I was in the "Who's Who among America's Teachers" at the same time they were ready to put me into "program improvement." Most teachers know that PI is the first stop on the way out the door because they want you gone.<br />
<br />
Teacher appreciation is a bit of a joke at this point. They pay you something for the baby sitting service and have next to no idea whether their kids are learning anything substantive. You get some kudos for being a teacher no matter how well or poorly you do your job. "Hooray for Everything!"<br />

A district has decided not to renew the contract for Bryce Benekos, a teacher and coach in Burleson, Tx.<br />
<br />
He was on his honeymoon while a female student alleges he was contacting her on skype. Sorry Bryce, you don't get the benefit of the doubt from these people. But maybe it's better to be pushed out of the shark tank early, rather than find out how corrupt it is, down the road.<br />

</small><br />
<small><span style="font-size: large;">How did they do it? The easiest way was to accuse the teacher of looking at them in a sexual way. Rather than go to the teacher, the parents would call in and complain. This bypassed the normal route. Naturally, there was no way to prove things one way or another, leaving the teacher with a stain a doubt on their reputation and helping create a little feeding frenzy. But there were also accusations of using physical force, yelling at them....making them feel BAD about themselves. </span></small><br />
<br />
<small><span style="font-size: large;">Some of these students are presently going after their principal, due to everything but academics. Let's see....the football team , the colors of the school uniform, and the flubbed jr. prom. See the http://dixonpatch.com for more. </span></small><br />
