There may be more information effecting this decision than we have been told.
There may be systemic problems not unlike Penn State—where there was cover
up, ignoring, failure to protect, failure to notice the obvious.

A poster above suggests having monitors in the class as an alternative. That
doesn’t keep the teacher in the classroom from being tarred—if anything it
makes the kids hyper nervous about the teacher being watched. If there’s a kid
in the class who was harmed by one of these teachers—the monitors are far
from being enough of an intervention. A molested kid can be threatened by the
raising of an eyebrow. How would you feel if you’d been molested and the
molester was still your teacher but now watched by two monitors? It’s absurd.

Forcing them all to quit at once has the effect of not tarring any single teacher
b/c all of them are tarred—-so in a funny way it protects the innocent until
there can be a full investigation. If the innocent teachers had stayed on the
job—all the parents would feel squirrely about them and maybe question
them. It was unworkable.

Better to err with a massive response than to fail to respond adequately. If I had
a kid in the school I’d support this, because I would know I *don’t* know which
teachers are involved. I’d feel my kid was afer with this extreme decision. Let’s
see what happens a month from now.

Massive over-reaction to a serious issue only inflicts
more damage. This calls for well trained people with
the skills to remove, without trauma, the abuse that is
being discovered here Then tactfully remove any
additional threats for evaluation if they exist.
Burning down the house to get rid of a couple of rats
is not the balanced and intelligent approach.
