I taught for 25 years (elementary, jr. high, and high school), and never encountered a single pedophile teacher. I did encounter for the most part, bright, moral people who taught well, cared about their students, and gave them their all, inspiring them as well as teaching the subject matter. Our union worked closely with the district, encouraging all of us to do our best. And the schools I taught in, in both states where I taught, were low socio-economically. I have always been proud to be a teacher--there are all kinds, of course, but your statement does not apply to my experience in the least.
Sorry but your ALL doesn't get us graduates that perform well in competition with other countries' graduates.... So I suspect that ALL needs a serious revision ... starting with subject matter and customization to each student's gifts, insights and life-needs. ttyl

Not be negative, likely its the "Rubber Room" teachers still being paid tho not allowed to teach for crimes or unacceptable actions...!
I've only read about them too, never seen it with my own eyes, seems once in the NEA w/"tenor"you cannot be fired...?
