What are our school systems coming to? Wake up parents!

Saturday, March 24, 2012

What are our school systems coming to? And parents, we have to step up to the plate and start teaching our kids Godly, respectful principles! Take the responsibility of getting to know your child's teachers, friends, and others that are involved in the lives of your kids. I have done just this and thank God my kids have awesome teachers! Below is the story of an incident that has recently happened in a public school.

An unnamed teacher at Tallulah Elementary School in Tallulah, La., has been fired after she failed to notice two third grade students allegedly having oral sex under a classroom table.

District Superintendent Lisa Wilmore stated that the teacher was fired because the incident occurred under her watch.

"The principal felt that she was not monitoring the classroom adequately," Wilmore said. "The principal made a decision, and I supported the principal. We have to make sure we have people in these classrooms who are monitoring our students."

According to local news sources in La. the district has also placed a different teacher on paid leave during an investigation of alleged substance abuse while on the job.

Itg was also reported that both students are now undergoing counseling, and that both teacher dismissals are a part of Wilmore's effort to "change the culture" of the district.

This isn't the first time activities like this have occurred in the classroom while a teacher was present. In February, two kindergarteners at PS 189 in New York City allegedly took off their clothes and engaged in oral sex-like activities while under the teacher's watch.

One parent told the New York Post the school didn't immediately take responsibility for the incident.

"They were trying to say that my daughter was inviting these children to do this to her," the parent told the paper at the time. "Where were the adults?"

I would love to hear the opinion of others on this topic!
