Do we really need more pent up- emotional- angry- uptight teachers? I think this girl has served her time. If the Governor wants to give felons back their right to vote, claiming their debt to society has been served, why can't this girl keep her license?
As tragic as the accident was, it was not malicious or intention. She freaked out. She had a huge lapse in judgement and lived her life in a fishbowl for a split second decision that caused her grief and the inability to ever smile again. But she did not do this in the classroom. Teaching is what you do, not who you are...
I could rant about the teachers from my day, the teachers that fondled the girls, the PE Teachers that would repeatedly ask the chesty girls to run extra miles, the math teacher who would say, 'give me some love and I will show you the A. Or the dozens of teachers who misused their influence and ruined lives IN SCHOOL. The drama teacher that decided to film Laurie Licks Lincoln. yeah yeah yeah you think it was only in recent years... NOT hardly!
She did not creep into these children's bedrooms and molest them. I stand on the fence as to her guilt. I believe everyone holds responsibility. Same with the above-mentioned scenarios. I was busty, I had a killer figure, and lets face it, I knew it. Did I cause this? Perhaps.
To take away her license is not productive. If she got a DUI she would still be able to teach.
If she had a car accident that killed someone and she didn't leave the scene, she would still be teaching. The children are still dead. But she would still be teaching. Not productive I tell you!
