Just who IS teaching our kids?


Again, the kids aren't even part of the equation.
Teachers 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.........

Schools cut secret deals with abusive teachers - OregonLive.com: "It would take months for the agency that licenses Oregon teachers to discipline a Salem-area teacher for inappropriately touching at least eight girls.
To get Kenneth John Cushing, then 44, away from Claggett Creek Middle School students immediately, administrators cut him a deal: If Cushing resigned, they would conceal his alleged conduct -- clutching students' waists, touching their buttocks and massaging their shoulders -- from the public.
Cushing signed the pact ... with Salem-Keizer Public Schools in 2004, and officials promised not to reveal the teacher's behavior if potential employers called looking for a reference. They would attribute his departure to 'personal reasons,' the document reads, and make 'no reference to this agreement.'"
