What the heck?!

Just a little random post here, but I have been hearing a lot about these 'corrupt' teachers on the news lately. It has something to do with my career of choice, so it's a valid post I think. So here are a few stories I found on KCRG's website about said teachers: Story 1, story 2, story 3. The worst part is, all three of those stories took place within the month of March. 3 teachers accused of molesting students....it's just sick! I think teachers should be hired with A LOT more care. That's not to say all teachers are bad (obviously), but you have to admit there seems to be a lack of concern about who is hired sometimes. I think that students should know that their teachers have never had any sort of trouble with that sort of thing- background checks and even possibly psychological evaluation should be done on new teachers being hired. That's just my opinion though, but I do think it could possibly cut down on these sort of events taking place. I also heard somewhere that teachers who are acquitted from these crimes/accusations, go on to teach in other school districts, because teachers can choose not to have their records released or something like that. I think that should be banished. A teacher's record, like a criminal record, should stick with them for LIFE.
