It is through years of experience in the school system from being a student to been a teachers assistant that I come to the ultimate conclusion that all teachers and educational personnel should be tested for their mental stability.

During my time in elementary school I had two teachers that really stood out in their behaviors. One male teacher would get extremely irate at the slightest thing and he would, while walking up and down thru the desk aisles,suddenly pick up a desk and heave it across the room or out the door to the hallway and most of the time a student soon followed the fate of the desk. Then he would be as calm as a daisy. Another teacher who hailed from Germany and taught grade four , would walk around with a yard stick and snap it on a child’s desk sometimes hitting there hands. She also would use a candy jar and offer a candy to a daydreaming student ,then hit there hand with a ruler as they reached for a candy. I also was traumatized by my kindergarten teacher who would take the class on field-trips to her house where she kept ice cream in a dirty toilet and served us a scoop.

There is no oversight committee or governing body that checks up at all on the going ons in the schools.

I had my youngest daughter in a French immersion class in grade one. The teacher was very loud and outspoken. She claimed that that was her nature. The principal said that she has been with the school for twelve years and has always been “flamboyant”. But there was a hidden detail that no one spoke of until I did some chatting with staff. The stry starts like this. My daughter comes home from school with a stab mark on her arm, I inquire as to how that happened , My daughter didn’t want to answer ,but I went about explaining that she couldn’t let a bully in her class hurt her and that we
