Remember that issue with the teacher and the use of the restroom in her class? Settled, for now. My son very respectfully told the teacher he wouldn’t go to the bathroom with anyone, that he had made me aware of the situation, and that he would hope she respected both his privacy and rights, and that I wouldn’t hesitate to visit with her and the Principal on this matter. After this, my son tells me the teacher informed the class that she wouldn’t do that, that she was “just joking around”. After two days? WTF? I only have one thing to say: Mrs. P- I have my eyes on you.

Just last night on the news, reporters said a teacher had bailed her way out of jail, after being arrested for physically abusing children. From what I understand, this has been going on with this teacher for two years, where she has been called on for punching a special needs child, and the parents had complained with the school and school district authorities. Nothing was done; now dozens of parents are voicing out similar complaints. You can read the story here.

At the beginning of every school year, we trust a stranger with what is most valuable in our lives, our children, this most complete piece of our body and soul, which we hold so dear in our hearts and we’d give our life for without a blink of hesitation. To think, that there are some, so wicked and evil, that would bring harm to such beauty and innocence. What's it coming to? What a shame.

It’s like the X-Files: Trust No One.
