If she was, why on earth was she? Anyone that does this sort of thing, should NEVER be allowed to teach again, anywhere. They should never be allowed near children. I think it's awful the sort of people we have in our schools, supposedly teaching our children and supposedly setting an example. These people aren't just in our schools either, they seem to be everywhere. Kids should be protected, not preyed upon. What is wrong with people? It seems the whole world is going crazy.

This is such an obvious breach of trust, and horrible act of abuse,to a child. One wonders why the school system does not have something to protect the children from preditors like this. Unless the person who hired these so called teachers was a preditor themselves. This act will only teach these children to re offend with someone else later on. I know the affects of this abuse because a very good friend of mine was abused at the hands of a teacher when he was younger, during his life he suffered drug issues, depression almost commited suicide many times, broken marriage and detachment from his own son, he was never an offender however he buried this information for years and on his fortieth birthday he and a group of friends came forward to sue the school system and won some money. Famous case in Montreal with a private school system .. However this money does not bring back your innocence, or trust, or years lost thinking about your self esteem or what you did to perpuate this when you did nothing because you knew not how to say NO because authority spoke louder than words, and forced themselves on you. Perhaps these teachers should be questioned if they were ever abused to make sure they were not victims either at the hands of someone else in authority. Here is good game plan, teachers have to be finger printed, go through a barage of psycological testing and see a psychiatrist to make sure that they are not harbouring sexual needs of a preditor waiting to react. These tests have to be done yearly unless they are given a clean bill of health and if they step over the line they are immediatly arrested placed in jail, and lose their license.NO trials for two years let them rot in prison. These are our children we are talking about,they need to be protected till age 18. If we don't protect them, who will?
