I am wondering why Maine teachers are receiving so much
press regarding their mistreatment of National Guard
children. If there were any substance to the stories we
would certainly see names of schools and details that can
be substantiated in some way. It seems like an "urban
myth" ,or in Maine's case, a "rural myth". Some one ,
somewhere, supposedly said something to a student and the
whole country is ready to send lynch mobs to roust the
troublemaking teachers up there in the North woods. The
teachers in my school, when they aren't up to their noses
in pages of Maine Learning Results documentation forms, are
trying to find some credible piece of news reporting that
actually states a traceable fact, name, or address. Are
the Salem Witch Trials coming back into vogue? Come on
people, Maine teachers love their kids and their country.
And don't you forget it.
