I hold fast to the belief that school systems need to do thorough psychological screening of the people they hire to teach our kids. While there are a lot of good people in the education biz, there seem to be others who don't need to be around human beings in general, much less children.
An unbelievable true story came out of Georgia recently regarding a high school teacher who truly went off the deep end after a reported unpleasant confrontation with one of his students.
Sources allege that the instructor commented on the manner in which a 16-year-old male student started dancing with another boy. He then questioned the student's sexual preference. The same student contends that the teacher also threatened to sock him. Another teen reportedly claims that the teacher told him that he would pay him to kill the troublesome student.
Say what?
Although some of the other students who know this educator are defending him and saying that he is a "kidder" and may have just been playing around, neither the boy, the boy's mother or the school system is laughing. The guy was taken in by authorities and is currently on administrative leave, with his job possibly at risk and possible time behind bars.
If this person was "joking," do you agree with me that it was totally stupid and inappropriate? We pay teachers to teach, not to do standup comedy routines.
If he was serious about having this student killed, he should get some jail time and/or psychiatric care.
Either way, what a complete jackass!!
