"What does it matter what their personal value system FOR THEMSELVES is so long as it DOESN'T MAKE IT INTO THE CLASSROOM. "

Ever heard the old saying "Leopards don't change their stripes". If they aren't moral outside of the classroom, they aren't likely to be moral inside the classroom. Besides, they are a role model and what they do outside of the classroom, students often hear about.

For example, students learned about the teachers going to chippendales. These teachers were stupid enough to think it wouldn't matter. But now all their students know how depraved they are.

Fine role models they made. How many more blunders like this should we put up with before we fire them for poor judgement? And this blunder was instigated by the Superintendent.

and you are the ultimate arbiter of what is and is not moral? What you say is right and what anyone else says on this board is wrong if they disagree? there seem to be an awful lot of people here who don't think there was anything immoral about what they did, but you'd punish them because they have offended YOUR sense of morals. You can only control yourself, and to a limited extent, your children. You can't control other people, EVEN teachers.

For example, students learned about the teachers going to chippendales. These teachers were stupid enough to think it wouldn't matter. But now all their students know how depraved they are.

i'm sure that's what the students thought. they probably thought it was funny. students aren't as easily shocked as you seem to think they are.

and i don't think it was a blunder at all. just because you say it is, doesn't make it so.

YOU think this was immoral behavior. Most people don't. So why do we have to live by your rules?
