ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list.

Not guilty, but awfully young looking. Sheesh.

[traumer]

I would also say “not guilty”....

Bell Street Middle School in “Clinton”

This name keeps coming up regarding sexual deviance. Coincidence?

[jdm]

Wash that hair Put it up in pig-tails Put on some make-up

Doing those three things would help a lot. Just giving advice in case she's reading this read. :O)

[Bruinator]

Why not guilty? I must have missed something.

....blamed Ward's childlike behavior on her strict, small-town upbringing>

Gee. Thats nice.

"Ward was a seventh-grade language arts teacher..."

Not like the language lab I recall.

[Kimmers]

“During the sentencing hearing, psychiatrist Dr. Donna Schwartz-Watts, who evaluated Ward said she has a sexual disorder and is “very childlike.” She blamed Ward’s childlike behavior on her strict, small-town upbringing.

"I publicly admit my guilt and would like to apologize," she told the court. "I sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions and look forward to getting back to "teaching" those boys again real, real soon."

[JRios1968]

Such a miscarriage of Justice! Obviously Not Guilty!

[billorites]

"Ward was trying to keep the boys from talking to authorities."

Well, I'd be telling everyone in the locker room...

You know, I really believe that much of the problem stems from having teachers almost as young as their students. I cannot remember a teacher I had in school that I wouldn’t consider a mature adult. Now they have ex-students coming back to teach in their own school when they are in their low twenties. These kids need to start out in the elementary school and not in their own high school or other high schools where there isn’t much age difference between the student and the teacher.

I say she has the potential for being not guilty. I'd put her on supervised probation.

You're right, of course. The most difficult thing for young adults to do is supervise others who are only a few years their juniors.

The military has a technique for teaching leadership. They are in the business of making 20 year olds into responsible, caring leaders of 18 year olds.

The educational establishment lacks an analogous method or model of teaching leadership.
