Re: Teachers Falsely Accused

More | Report Post

Feb 22, 2009. In response to the posts below ... I am working with a
producer at ABC to possibly do a national show, perhaps 20/20, on
falsely accused teachers. I am one myself - If we don't band together
and get some attention, no one is going to want to teach in urban
schools! It's bad enough that I have to go through what I'm going
through -- but if it is all for nothing, that's worse.

Are there any teachers out there who would be willing to talk about
their experiences on a national show?

FYI, Colorado has a state-wide organization to support falsely accused
teachers, as does Great Britain. National visibility would be the first
step toward getting some legislation in order.

Anybody out there? Please respond to me at sherridaley@yahoo.
