Dear Killborn,
“Good Lord, they gave all the good teachers I know a bad name!”
Indeed! It’s the 90% of teachers like this that give the other 10% a bad reputation!

Thanks for the pic. Yes, clearly, guilty! :)
The kind that should NOT be a teacher.
What an idiotic statement. Like the rest of the school doesn't know about it? And who the parents of the child whose coat got stolen are, especially after they posted fliers about the missing coat all over the school.
This *Let's keep everything hush hush* routine makes me sick. Too much covering up of the wrongdoer's actions. If I were another parent and had kids in her class, I'd want to know about this.
That wage she makes - well no wonder she is stealing- she only makes 383 dollars per school day—180 X 383= 68,940
Good teachers should quit. Stop enabling a corrupt institution. Then apply your efforts to closing these cesspools down, and opening private schools.
Lenscrafters is really hyping these rectangle/square glasses hard. They're ugly and no amount of glossy paper will make them flattering on anyone.
Now if my doc or attorney was only making 69K a year, I'd worry!
Hope she saved up a bunch - she's gonna need it to pay for legal fees. Creepy woman, lifting a kid's coat!!
70K to work 9 and a hlaf months! with no on call duties, nice vacations around the holidays and a true pension!
***Lotta good that did the mom, reporting it to the principal. If there were some way to verify it, I would bet tons of money that he gave the teacher the heads-up.
Kevmo, you would lose that bet. The principal was the one that decided to contact the authorities when she was presented with all of the information the mother had gathered. Also, the mother has stated how pleased she has been with how the principal has handled the situation.
Unfortunately, a few dozen parents have sided with the teacher even though they know she admitted taking the coat from the lost and found. Other reports state that the coat was only missing for 20 minutes before the child went back onto the playground to retrieve it. Her gloves were still there, but the coat was gone. The auction was started the very next day. The poor kid never had a chance to get her coat back. How sad these parents can’t or won’t see who the real victim is here. How would they feel if it was their child?

This sounds like a no win situation for the parents. If they go public, they’re vindictive and media-hounds. If they stay anonymous, they are hiding something. Why not err on the side of caution? Yes, the community is most likely aware of who the family is and anyone who wants to do a little digging can get their names. But remember, it went National! Would you want your child’s name and face published all over the internet? I don’t think it has as much to do with the school/parents “threat” as it does with the public at large - who knows what whackos lurk out there...
As far as the parents with kids in her class, they don’t seem to care that she is an admitted thief. Alot of them are supporting her. I’d hate to see how these kids turn out in about 15 years.
As the years go by, we see that a lot more occupations are getting the lawyer treatment.
Thanks for the extra information. This teacher had help, just not the principal.
I really have a hard time believing the OTHER parents of this class don’t see how their defending a thief warps their children’s sense of right and wrong.

Thank you for the nice welcome. It’s refreshing to know there are sites like this where you can discuss ideas and/or events without wanting to throw your computer out the window.

***I don’t see anything here that verifies one way or the other whether or not the principal gave her the heads up. If the mother “stated how pleased she has been with how the principal has handled the situation”, what do you think she would state if she found out that the principal did give the teacher the heads up?
I read about this last week and it has to be one of the most bizarre stories. This woman is sick! To top it off she is teaching. WHY??
