Re: Personnel who care for our kids

[Guest guest]

Hi and others,

I don't like playing games when it comes to matters of safety of our

children and the serious business of accusing teachers of child abuse. If

that particular teacher is " well known " for her abusive behavior, has really

inflicted harm on a specific child, and there is hard evidence to prove it

then charges have to be filed and investigations have to be launched to

either clear her name or lock her in jail and punish the people that would

harbor her.

Otherwise, why are we as citizens and tax payers protecting such people? Is

this the way the public school system works? I don't know..i don't deal

with it...but having to depend on the " kind-hearted " personnel amongst us

on the list to " watch out " for her is not just not Enough but is

Unacceptable. Our kids deserve better than that.

Unfortunately, I think this IS the way the system works. There is no excuse

for it, but I think it's because there is such a teacher shortage. In my

school district, when my daughter was in kindergarten, she had a teacher who

was verbally and physically abusive and neglectful. My daughter got off the

bus one day with her jeans undone because when she got out of the bathroom,

she couldn't button them back by herself and the teacher wouldn't do it. So

my daughter walked around the rest of the day with her panties hanging out.

She made derogatory remarks about special needs students in her class in

front of those students; she has left the students on their own for short

periods of time; she harassed a child about his constant tardiness (like it

was HIS fault); she thumped a child in the back of his head; she told my

daughter her brain was on vacation; she gave birthday spankings... I could

go on and on. Parents have complained to the superintendent and school board

I wrote complaint letters to the TEA and SBEC. After I found out she gave

birthday spankings " , I turned her in to CPS. This was all while my daughter

was in kindergarten. She's now going into third grade, and although this

teacher no longer has the kindergarten class (thank GOD, because my PDD-NOS

child is going into K), she IS still teaching at this school with older

grades. She was moved last summer to 4th, 5th, and 6th grade social

studies/science, and has again had multiple complaints by parents about how

she handles the classroom. This is a person who has NO BUSINESS TEACHING

CHILDREN, but nothing has been done about her. So among the other

oh-so-great issues in our schools, we also have this issue as well, that

must be too taboo to deal with.

This is really unfortunate. The thing we fear the most, our children

being abused without our knowledge. But worse, being abused in front

of our eyes is really heart breaking. Suggestion, if anyone can

gather even 3 other parents to testify against this abuse, Im sure

the MEDIA will be more than willing to publicize it. And when it

happens, the High Officials of the School District will be forced to

explain why they keep this kind of people in the system. Having a

shortage of teachers is not an excuse to treat our children with NO

respect.

Please don't even think for a moment that Candis is " playing games " . I know

from when we spoke (a year ago?) what a nightmare it has been for her to try to

get action on this issue, and how many people in positions of authority just

turned their backs on her. Sounds horrific that it happened in our country,

right? Just another horrible miscarriage of justice, and THANK YOU Candis for

bringing this to the attention of everybody whose child might be in harm's way.

I would hope that we would all do this for each other, because unfortunately,

we can't always count on the authorities, administrators, or any other governing

entity to protect our children.

Thank you again Candis, and God bless you.

I emailed EVERY news outlet in Dallas/Ft. Worth and Waco, and NOT ONE of

them picked it up. Not one of them contacted me for more info. Although, I

THINK that at least one called the school to ask questions, because about a

week after I sent those emails, the superintendent suddenly became so sugary

sweet to me, I felt like I needed an insulin shot!

Anne,

lol insulin shot, that bad huh? But you are doing the right thing

Anne. Hooray for you! Keep on shaking the tree, keep on barking. Is

that the reason why that person is in the CY-Fair now from Hempstead?

I dombard emails to Dateline NBC maybe if most of us if not all of

us send them email, it will finally be heard. We just have to speak

out if not yell out so they will listen.

I'm sure someone's tree-shaking is the reason this teacher has changed

districts, but it was not MY tree-shaking that did it. I am talking about a

totally different teacher. Like I said, I think dealing with abusive

teachers is a taboo subject, because there is such a teacher shortage. I

guess they figure any warm body that gets certification and shows up, is a

good thing.

I think the subject is taboo because of CYA! After all if they admit

the teacher was in the wrong, there could be a liability for them. At a

TCASE law conference several years ago the presenters said that

sovereign immunity doesn't apply in the case of abuse or gross

negligence. This means that the parents could go after the educator's

(or administrator's) personal assets. BUT, there was no legal cite

given to back up the statement as best as I remember.

I thought that CPS investigated instances of abuse by the school....at least

they used to!
