I read a recent post titled "Ex-teacher Accused of Lying to Authority, Judge, Probation Officer" written by The Associated Press. In this post it talks about how a former Grand Junction elementary schoolteacher is on trial this week for allegedly lying to her attorney, a judge and her probation officer. The woman on trial is also accused of violating bail-bond conditions. Last June, the same woman was put on four years of probation and 21 months of work release for the possession of methamphetamine.
I found this post interesting be cause it goes to show that teachers are not perfect and they do make mistakes and get in trouble. It was awful to read that a woman who was supposed to be leading children and teaching them skills for life, is being put on trial for lying to her attorney and also has been in trouble for the possession of drugs. Some role model huh? I think someone who is going to do something like this should absolutely lose their job. What parent wants their child being taught by someone who would do this. Luckily she is no longer a teacher, but just try to imagine the kinds of things the parents of her former students are thinking.
This post in a way relates to me as a student myself. I have not had a former teacher do anything like this, but I still can try to imagine myself in that position and think of what I might think about it. If I found out that one of my old teachers did something like this, I would definatly question the "truth" behind what they taught me.
