How are these teachers being hired? What kind of process do they need to go

through to be in the classrooms? Do they have any psychological testing done?

This is some scary story, and getting to be the norm lately.

I heard something at a school meeting this week that made my skin crawl because

it just goes to show the system...A principal was told that she should try and

interview some latin professionals for a position at her school. When she asked

how she would know if they were latin or not, she was told to go by their last

name, if they had a " spanish " ring to them, to call those people.

Really? Is that any indicative of anything that might be pertinent to this

specific hiring?

In the case of this lastest news, why is the teacher being transferred to

another school? I see that there's no video, but still, keep this animal away

from students!

I also read the comments and it's scary to see that some people think that

special ed teachers are doing us a favor for taking our kids in...and it's

normal that they get frustrated and take out on the kids, since they're so hard

to deal with and the teachers either take on the assignment or get fired...Do we

really care? It's their problem, not ours. If you don't have what it takes, go

away. Go find something else.
