I found it distressing to read about another New York City teacher that has molested and abused another innocent child.
There are more teachers that have reached tenure and been accused of violating the rules of teaching yet many are not being fired and are sent off to so called, “Rubber Rooms,” some for years.
Now I have a co-worker whose wife, Amelia, was let go because of friction with a vice-principal. She had not made tenure and was pregnant at the time.
She possessed a master’s degree in education and was dedicated to the children she was teaching.
In my book this was not right. We are letting go of good teachers who are dedicated to the principles of education, while others could care less and do unspeakable acts against these children.
This is so sad. New York City’s 1.1 million students are the ones who are paying the price.
Therefore, I say bring back the good teachers that care and kick out those who do not.
We need to bring back fine teachers like Amelia that care.
