Yeah, my neighbors daughter goes there (my kids would if I still had kids at home). I'm sure that sort of school demographic has its own annoyances, after where I taught in TX I am ready to teach kids who will at least pretend to want to learn!
I think I'll find something else to do anyway. I think someone is trying to tell me something, since I can't seem to find a biology job available.

You know once again people amaze me. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. I will have you know that #1 half of the priest's that were accused suffered a great deal when the accusers came forward, only to find out years later that these people were lying, jumping on the band wagon, trying to earn a dollar. Do your research before you all sit here and start assuming that this teacher is guilty. Isn't it amazing that here in our great country that once one case comes out they ALL come out. It is like when you have a missing person and offer a reward for any information, it seems the whole world knows where that person is. We great american's will do anything for a mighty dollar no matter what it takes or who it hurts. What I am saying is do your research and use common sense. Did you know that at the same school this teacher is being accused at that 2 months prior to the student coming out there was a lawsuit won by a family against one of the school bus drivers. The lawsuit entitled the family to A LOT of money. Then suddenly 2 months later this student comes out that he was fondeled 3 years prior. Why so close. Why wait so long. You are all sitting here sounding like smart and educated people. However you are leaving your opinion up to the words of the media and reports. Why because they don't look for the good story right. They don't lie. Kids they never make up stories or lie either right. They are vindictive enough to go after a teacher with a story like this. And you know, so what if she was suspended without pay. What if she is innocent, is it fair that she I sure has lost any trust or respect that people had for her but she should starve to. You know do your research again, we have heard alot of these cases lately. Research how many came back in the end that the student was trying to get back at the teacher, for a punishment or bad grade. We are leaving the education system in the fate of children and you are worried about paying a teacher who could very well be innocent. What is to stop these children from saying, give me an A or I will destroy your life and say you molested me. I am sure that threat would work better then worring about some lousy paycheck. Just some words for people to think about before they just jump on the same media band wagon as everyone else.
Two things. First, were you talking to ME? Second, paragraphs are your friend. It makes a long screed easier for people to actually read.

No, I was talking to everyone. Sorry I didn't remember to hit enter when I was typing. I had other things on my mind.
I am sure people have no trouble reading it. They just don't want to hear it!
No, really. It was hard to read. If you don't care if people read what you write, that's fine. If you do want them to read it, make it a little more reader friendly (not the message, just the format).
