If not a lawsuit, at least a major diciplinary action, the loss of a job is a minumum action...

Child abuse should not be tolerated...and, not informing the parent prior to any discplinary action is primary...

we had a bus driver that didn't check his bus at the end of his run, a child was left on the bus.
the parents were looking for the child and he wasn't found until after 5:00.
that bus driver was fired right away, last I heard he also moved away from the area

I remember an article long ago where a 10 year old was handcuffed by the cops and taken out of class.

...it's the 40 percent bad ones that make the 60 percent good ones look bad.

//a DPS teacher actually told me it was about 20 percent, but I think she was being optimistic.

Their Teacher to his chair "as a Joke" ?

& I Agree. May be optimistic,
but it's the 40 percent bad Teachers
that make the 60 percent of good Teachers
look bad.

Educators have a much harder job than some people realize. On the one hand we have local, district, state and federal mandates (most of them unfunded or underfunded) raining from the sky, we have parents that usually do not care what their kid does in school, that is, until they lose their eligibility to play whatever sport they play, then they come in screaming that you hate their kid, or that you are a racist, or that they will sue.....

You have school administrators breathing down your neck constantly about standardized test scores, and there are so many things that teachers just have to accept and deal with that take away from valuable teaching time.

But when it comes time to criticize education, do the parents get criticized because their kids refuse to learn, and are disruptive? No.
Do people criticize the school board, the administration, or any of the other groups involved with curriculum standards and the emphasis on standardized tests? OF course not.

Everything bad that happens in a school is always the fault of the teachers. They are the lowest paid, and have the most contact with the kids, and have the hardest job in a school...but everything is their fault.

I am a bus driver and I search my bus after each mission for the smallest of things I use a gopher device I bought a wally world to pick up anything that will clog my vacuuming cleaner. New buss es have a function that will not allow you to open the door in the front of the bus after shutting off the engine until you open the back door. This is to prevent a child from being left on the bus.
After I pick up the things I can see I will go to the back of the bus open the rear door and look down the bus from the floor level and I'm shocked at what I miss sometimes. Goes to show it takes another view at another level to see if the job is done right.
