Here is a link to my post that contains a number of stories about teachers (mostly women) who feel into sexual relations with students. I think there is an opportunity here for teachers' unions to gain some gourd with public opinion. http://bit.ly/KwRMLbDouglas Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585254833466108022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-38908920388936952992012-08-03T06:59:32.091-04:002012-08-03T06:59:32.091-04:00Both excellent points, but it serves well to know ...Both excellent points, but it serves well to know that WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and this is the typical sort of baiting that many of his media outlets use on a regular basis.

You are right that educators need to arise above this partisan bickering and unite with students to advocate for the best possible education system. We cannot achieve such a system without a deep respect for student voice and action that rises above adultism.<br />2. I disagree that everyone is against sexual predators. It is material to this issue that StudentsFirst front person Michelle Rhee has intimidated students and teachers to prevent them from coming forward to address her husbands sexual predator conduct toward his students as a charter school principal. Our society DOES support sexual predator behavior in many cases, and like the Sandusky case has taught us, we must be sure that the predator's high public profile does not lead us to enable this sociopathic behavior toward children.Xian Franzinger Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173583347641833298noreply@blogger.com
