Background Checks? Why? They're Only Dealing With Kids
-
So, a drama teacher at Bell High School in Bell, CA faces felony sexual assault charges that they say happened at his place of employment, but the interesting part is that he's been linked to sexual assaults that happened in 1999 while he was at another high school. And not far away in Fullerton, CA, an eighth grade teacher has been arrested on suspicion of sex with two students. She's 28, hired in 2008. And THIS science teacher was on the job for just three months before she allegedly had an affair with a 14-year-old student. These and so many other stories have to lead us to ask: How are these people getting hired? Especially in the case of the Bell High teacher, who appears to have had quite a record -- did nobody do any due diligence? Do your schools do enough of a background check?
