PROBLEM TEACHER: Dissecting a dissenting instructor

	Our new teacher has problems
	that merit a closer view.

	His outward credentials are adequate
	& he's got decent student reviews.

	But there are disturbing signs
	warranting deeper investigation.

	For example
	he criticizes our government
	& ridicules what
	the School Board has sought to do.

	His humor is mildly licentious -
	perhaps he's a bit unscrewed?

	The way that he looks at some students
	seems provocative
	& he told one student that most school
	are for fools.

	Let's have him interrogated or
	better yet - eliminated.
	a nice juicy scandal should do.

	Exploit his weaknesses:
	tilt a few stories in a theatrical light
	then attack boldly
	when the moment is right.

	In our school
	we want instructors
	who are patriotic, clean, & straight.

	We can't allow any teacher
	to turn schooling into a social game.


Melissa:   At some point in their careers, I suspect that nearly every teacher could be
           labeled "problematic".

Liao:      Sure - they're human and make mistakes. Aren't mistakes part of the learning process?

Satoru:    Of course, we also need accountability! Who pays for the mistakes that teachers make?

Tim:       Relax, people [ tend to make less mistakes as they get older . . .

Satoru:    I'm not so certain. Perhaps they simply become more adept at concealing mistakes . . .
