After reading these accounts I do not know if I should scream or cry. The age of the kids involved in this emotional abuse (7 and 9 yr olds) has real-world tears in my eyes.
I really hope all reading this can get the word out and/or track down more info.
More info from one of the people posting on the blogs: searching this link for the string "duke" reveals an important beurocrat e-mail address that could use some attention from the community.
I'm sorry, but be it reservist, vet, black, white, hispanic, republican, democrat, christian, muslim, jew, atheist, creationist, microsoft-lover or what not, ridicule by a teacher of a student at any facility funded in tax dollars should result in the teacher getting the boot, tenure or no tenure.
That such teachers exist at all, or that the administration of those schools didn't fire them on the spot? Actually, probably not going to fire them ever.
Both are bad and part of the same problem. Hard to answer a comparitive when both are the same, but maybe I am just too pissed about it to think up a better answer.
I've been pretty strongly opposed to school vouchers for a variety of reasons, but now I'm thinking that if they would cause teachers like these to be dumped they might not be so bad after all.
The teachers should be fired. (Score:2)
