RSSBritish Teachers’ Union Representative Chris Keates Says “Teachers Who Engage in Consensual Sex With Teen Pupils Shouldn’t Face Prosecution”
WTF!!! According to Chris Keates teaching is about reading writing and bedding your pupils. This is just what parents are looking for when they send their children off to school … predator teachers with no accountability for their actions. British Education Rep justifies predator teacers.
Chris Keates, a British teachers’ union representative has stated that teachers who engage in consensual sex with students over the age of 16 should not be prosecuted. 16? Why not make it 15 or 14 or 13 or 12 for that matter if one is using this insane logic? That is correct folks, sex laws are unfair to teachers as they should have no responsibility if a teacher has an affair with a student. Consensual sex? By the very definition it cannot be consensual when one is a minor and the teacher holds a position of authority.
Chris Keates, the general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, said in an interview to be broadcast in the U.K. on Monday that teachers who have sex with pupils over the age of consent are guilty of a mere “error in professional judgment,” and should not be placed on the sex offenders register, the Mail reported.
“There is a real anomaly in the law that we are concerned about,” the Mail quoted Keates as saying. “That is that if a teacher has a relationship with a pupil at the school at which they teach—it could be an 18-year-old pupil—then that teacher can be prosecuted and can end up on the sex offenders register.”
Exactly what does Chris Keates thinks is going to be a deterrent from teachers having sex with their students, detention? Let’s just slap them on the hand and say don’t do it again. If teachers do not like the punishment of being labeled a sex offender, then don’t do the crime.

Arubans Bought Fake Diplomas in the US Busted along with 10K Others
ORANJESTAD/AMSTERDAM – Two Arubans are on an American list
of buyers of fake diplomas. The list in the possession of the State Council’s Office of Washington State has leaked out and can be found on the internet. In the online diploma fraud in the United States, also names of buyers from the Netherlands have been given out, including those of several top managers at large companies.
Two Aruban names appear on the list, namely that of one Herman Gilbert Croes who bought the false title of Doctor of Business Administration and that of one Greto ‘Tito’ Muyale who bought a fake high school diploma from Liberty High School.
Diploma mill degree recipients
Almost 10,000 people spent $7.3 million buying phony and counterfeit high school and college degrees from a Spokane diploma mill. The complete list of buyers, which the U.S. Department of Justice has refused to release to the public, has been obtained by The Spokesman-Review and published July 28.
Canadian Province Wins Student Loan Legal Case against Aruba’s All Saints University of Medicine
As reported in The St. John’s Telegram, Canadian Province has won their legal case against the All Saints University of Medicine in Aruba in regards to granting student loans to the university. The University learned the hard way that when one misrepresents themselves for gain, one usually must produce what you claimed you had in the first place, or forfeit the initial contract that was only gained by false claims.
Medical students from this province won’t be getting student loans to attend university in Aruba - not that any have applied.
The All Saints University of Medicine in Aruba took this province’s Education Department to court over the department’s decision to suspend student loan status that it had previously granted to the university.
The province was justified in choosing to revoke that initial decision, says Supreme Court Justice Robert Hall, who presided over the arguments.
Furthermore, the medical school in Aruba - which has never had an applicant from this province - will have to pay the province’s legal fees in relation to the case.
12 Year Old Wesport, CT Student Charged with Distributing Nude Pic of Classmate
What are kids thinking these days? Better than that, what is society thinking in that it is ok to bombard kids with sex at a young age and not think that it will not desensitize them.
Do children, pre-teens and teens not understand that distributing naked pics of classmates and themselves is child pornography? Obviously not as a 12 year old middle school girl was charged with the distribution of a classmate in Westport, CT. The girl, whom police did not identify because she is a juvenile, was charged with second-degree breach of peace, which includes distributing “offensive, indecent or abusive material concerning any person.”
A 12-year-old Westport girl has been charged with distributing a nude photo of a classmate to fellow students.
The investigation began on May 12 when the incident was reported to Westport police after word circulated throughout Coleytown Middle School that a nude snapshot was taken during a video chat and distributed to others.
The girl is being referred to Juvenile Court in Norwalk on a charge of second-degree breach of peace, which involves the distribution of offensive and indecent material. Her name is not being released because of her age.
The arrest comes amid growing worries among parents about teenagers snapping naked pictures of themselves on their cell phones and sending them to their boyfriends and girlfriends.
Girl charged with distributing nude photo
Girl, 12, Accused Of E-Mailing Nude Picture Of Classmate
If one ever needs to know why this type of stuff goes on with teens and preteens, one only needs to look at the excuses provided. Some how, the 12 year old is innocent because she was singled out. Because others did not get charged, that makes this specific 12 year old innocent. Brilliant!!! What more should we expect from a defense attorney.
“This is a 12-year-old girl who was unfairly singled out here,” said the girl’s attorney, Mark Sherman. “She wasn’t the only one to send e-mails out here.”
Here are some rather important words that parents should read and take to heart when it comes to their kids. It is your job parents to properly raise Buffy and Skippy in the right way with values.
Psychologist Dr. David Greenfield said teenagers share racy images of themselves and other kids because they can.
“Kids have always played pranks, but what’s happened is we’ve desensitized the sexual act and the experience and exposure to sexual acts,” he said. “Plus with the digital technology, it’s easy for them to have access and transmit this information.”
Greenfield said the high-tech pranks are devastating for victims and a wake-up call for parents.

Lifetouch National School Studios Inc Fauxtoshop Gaffe … People’s Heads Show Up On Other Bodies
WTF!!! Imagine getting your high school yearbook only to find that your 
picture is really not yours. Then you look to see your best friend’s picture and her head is on a boys body. Stunned, you check out another friend’s pic and her head appears to be on a nude body. Is this the Twilight Zone? This is beyond bizarre and who knew that fauxtoshopping year book pics was a non-firable offense.
What was Lifetouch National School Studios Inc thinking when they altered students photos and actually switched heads of students to other students bodies. The result was a ruined high school year book for McKinney High School. Spokes people for Lifetouch claim that it was not done maliciously. What else could it have been? Lifetouch has taken full responsibility for the incident and will pay for the reprinting of the yearbooks.
Besides the head and body switching, some necks were stretched, one girl’s arm was missing, and another girl’s head was placed on what appeared to be a nude body, with the chest blurred.
A spokeswoman for Minnesota-based Lifetouch National School Studios Inc. said the alterations were “an unfortunate lapse in judgment” by an employee but didn’t believe it was malicious.
The high school had required Lifetouch to make heads the same size and eyes at the same level in all student photos, company spokeswoman Sara Thurin Rollin said Saturday. The request was “unusual and definitely very particular, but that’s not to suggest what happened here is acceptable,” she said. (FOX News)
In a faxed statement, Lifetouch officials acknowledged the school’s high marks in previous publications. Lifetouch misinterpreted the specifications … BS!!! How can anyone print this many pictures and “misinterpret” what was asked for?
“McKinney High School enjoys a well-earned reputation in excellence in yearbook design and presentation with many local and national awards. Unfortunately, Lifetouch misinterpreted the specifications and guidelines requested and an error in judgment was made to alter and adjust some photos. It is not the Lifetouch standard practice to alter images for yearbook publications.”
Listen to the spin and back peddling from a Lifetouch spokesperson. Lifetouch also has refused to say whether the employee who was responsible for this was fired or reprimanded, only that it was “an unfortunate lapse in judgment.” Lifetouch, way to hold your employees to any type of standard. This was much greater than a lapse in judgment.

Teachers Union Chairman Sues Education Minister Marisol Tromp for Offensive comments During the Strike
The teachers union chairman has taken the Education Minister Marisol Tromp to court over offensive comments she made during the strike. Could these people possibly be any more thin skinned? You are suing because she “hurt you with her words”? How pathetic is that? Seems that these type of ridiculous lawsuits get heard while real crimes go un-noticed and un-prosecuted.
Aruba: where words are legal actions and crimes against Natalee Holloway are not
Van Varsseveld is of the opinion that the comments Minister Tromp made on TeleAruba on April 7, 2008 were offensive and a slur on his professional ethics.
In the TV-broadcast, Tromp questioned the education capacity of Van Varsseveld. He would be held responsible for bad school results and students doubling the year, if the strike had continued, said the minister in the broadcast.

At Center Elementary School 3rd Grade in South Georgia Its About Reading, Writing and Plotting to Attack your Teacher
A group of third graders at Center Elementary School in south Georgia plotted to attack their teacher because she had previously had scolded one of them for standing on a chair. You read that correctly. At Center Elementary 3rd grade, its not about just reading writing and arithmetic … its about plotting to harm your teacher with a knife, handcuffs and duct tape as well.
What on earth is going on? We cannot hang this one on the schools … this is on the parents. What are you teaching little Johnny and Mary at home that they think this is suitable behavior?
WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) — A group of third-graders plotted to attack their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other items for the job and assigning children tasks including covering the windows and cleaning up afterward, police said Tuesday.
The plot involving as many as nine boys and girls at Center Elementary School in south Georgia was a serious threat, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.
School officials alerted police Friday after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had brought a weapon to school. Tanner said the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a crystal paperweight, bind her with the handcuffs and tape and then stab her with the knife.

New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union File Lawsuit Claiming Dover City Ordinance Keeping Sex Offenders Away from Schools Unconstitutional
Rights for sex offenders? It would seem that they gave up any such rights to 
live near where children congregate when they chose to commit sex acts against children.
How misguided could some people truly be? In Dover, NH the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit challenging the ordinance on behalf of a man convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 2000. Yeah that it, lets protect the rights of the child molesters and not the right and protection of the children.
The city’s ordinance, adopted in 2005, bans registered sex offenders from living within 2,500 feet of a school. The New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit this week challenging the ordinance on behalf of a man convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 2000.

Retired Teacher John Corcoran Says He Was Illiterate Until Age 48
The irony is not lost in the following story and the education system in the US. He obviously did not know how to spell edumacation, or read and write but did he know arithmetic
John Corcoran, a retired school teacher who taught high school for 17 years without being able to read, write or spell. A teacher who cheated his way into a position of teaching children. Great!!!
