ReplyI'm sure if the results were favorable he wouldn't be denouncing anything!
For the amount of taxes we pay here and given the high percentage of our taxes that go into the classroom - these results are completely unacceptable!

On the article Former Teacher Of The Year Accepts Plea In Teen Sex Case

ReplyWhat also disturbs me is that it APPEARS that this woman had a history...and there were rumors and earlier suspicion regarding her dysfunctional behavior in the school with/and around children. Did the school's administration and superintendent's office drop the ball here? Turn a blind eye? Some of you may argue that you can't control the actions of another...yes...but where there is smoke, there is fire and IF this woman did questionable things in past as former students have hinted to, then shame on the school and district's administration for not knowing what was going on under their noses. http://westorange.patch.com/articles/high-school-female-teacher-arrested-for-sex-with-student#comments_list
We lack accountability at every point you can turn to in this town...from the school district to our town council! Jessica Glicker, our chief of PR has got a major image, clean up job ahead of her.

ReplyWaiting to hear fr West Orange school officials on how they will be addressing parents regarding this matter and the most recent one... Not saying they have to specify and point to these exact cases, however they should reassure parents of hiring practices and what they are doing to avoid such behavior. At the end of the day parents need communication fr the superintendents office regarding safety for our children.

ReplyLiz B not sure why you are applauding the same BOE that put him into place then, after not being vetted properly. You make no sense. At the end of the day the Superintendent reports into the Board so they ultimately are supposed to be the ones in charge and ACCOUNTABLE. Maybe they were justified in their actions which is fine but their track record doesn't show that they make good decisions. I just want the Board to know that they are to be held accountable as well. They can get fired too!
And Cadeau you can speak for yourself but obviously not every parent has had the same experience. Yes parent accountability is crucial but if you don't have a sound board, administrators and curriculum in place our efforts as parents are futile!

...and be sure to pay attention to the peer group list on the last page. Certainly nothing to brag about. But good try on attempting to tell a different story with the results.
