If only teachers at elite private schools were allowed to get married this would not happen. I also heard that this guy once watched the Pope in TV so I hold the Church responsible.

First of all I see that it's still an ongoing investigation, so there are two views to this story. One if it happend than shame on the teacher and he should be sent to prison for life in my opinion. Second in the teaching profession you are in a tough tough position of some teenager being able to accuse you of something, even if you didn't do it...that accusation will stick with you for the rest of your career ruining future employment. Really tough situation.

it should not be a tough tough situation, a teacher should never put him or her self in a position that an accusation will be made against them, never be alone anywhere with a student and immediately report and deal with any inappropriate actions, remarks or comments from students, the first time you let a stray comment or action slide you have jeopardized your career.

This NEVER would have happened in a public school. The state does background check on all of them.

If you know your facts private schools have background checks on teachers as well...they go through the same fbi background check and get fingerprinted just the same. Before you comment know what your talking about.

the vetting process will make you respond, with competion so high for positions, you answer appropriately,If you are completely
innocent and have been vindicated ,
maybe, just maybe, you have a chance to save your career,all things being equal and the competition is on level ground....you loose! all because of an
accusation. This Dean would not have abandoned his post if he was honorable. State education dept's. do not generally share information or records of individuals. Nor do they share doctors or lawyers records.
We are at their mercy. Now, has any one read about tar and feathering then being riden out of town on a rail. Maybe old , but entirely appropriate.Many good men and women suffer because of this type of pervert.

I hope the guy is guilty. His career is ruined regardless, I would really be ticked if the kids lied as some sort of "hate crime".

If he IS gay, that has nothing to do with being a pedophile...

WRONG. Numerous public school teachers have been arrested for playing with students.

The Gunnery for the "intimate atmosphere" with only 300 students. How many more staff are involved? This has been going on for years.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Leo

You're really on the ball today so there's no danger of anyone tricking you or fobbing you off with lame excuses. If you suspect that a loved one is hiding something from you, you'll want to question them in a lot of detail. That's all very well but try not to turn it into the third degree, nor to make them feel hounded or bullied by your desire to know what's going on.
