Since we’re on the topic of cell phones, my friend Kim (Momformation, Hormone-colored Days, and Chicago Moms Blog) just sent me a link to troubling story on the CBS13 West Sacramento website about a mom who found troubling text messages from her 15 year old daughter’s teacher.
Many of you have commented that your #1 fear is not knowing who your child is in contact. While this story is just a reminder of that, it is even more troubling to me, as an educator, that someone in my profession would do such a thing. And why in the world would the school system not take action to remove the 15 year old girl from this teacher’s class immediately?!?
Sorry I’m all fired up over this but I’m in back to school mode after spending the better part of the day in an all school staff meeting where we covered many topics ranging from the typical (scheduling, increasing student achievement, goals for the year) to the required (handling blood to prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens, reporting suspected child abuse/neglect).
We didn’t discuss inappropriate texting of students but you would think that a teaching professional would know better.
Rant over. Here’s the article.

Thanks for the shout-out. That wasma distrubing problems. I shake in fear thinking about what the teen years, which are not so far away for my boys, may bring.
