The school district is taking over the investigation and says it is using "this incident as a vehicle for educating the district's students regarding appropriate behaviors."

Just exactly what are they don't to do? Nothing. As if the kids would listen to begin with.

Used to teach CE classes to agents and adjusters. The State, after a series of well-publicized cases of egregious ethical lapses on the part of such license-holders, put in a requirement that they take an Ethics class every two years.

Which I taught, but always thought really odd. If people reach this age, and are educated enough to get a state license, and still don't understand what is and is not ethical, how is a 4 hour class going to make any difference in their behavior?

I've always thought it very rare that people do something wrong without realizing it's wrong. They do it anyway, because they rationalize it, they are desperate, or they simply don't care.

All this is part of the progressive idea that any and every human problem can be solved by more "education." Admitting this is not the case would mean their schemes for creating utopia by reengineering society are doomed to fail. Which would of course make their lives meaningless.
