5th grade teacher made class write to a prisoner charged with child porn
Officials at the Department of Education say they are looking to fire a Queens teacher who had her fifth-grade students send Christmas cards to a prison inmate who was previously been charged with possessing child pornography.
The city's special commissioner of investigation, Richard Condon, says Melissa Dean, 31, had her class in P.S. 143 at Corona, Queens send cards to John Coccarelli, who appears to have had a relationship with her.
The teacher did not ask permission from parents or the school and officials say many of the cards had the children's names and addresses on them.
"She told them they were going to homeless people, going to people in the service, that they were going to people who lived alone," said Condon. "I have no idea what this woman was thinking."

She tricked the kids and is apparently in a "wifey" relationship with the imprisoned creep. Not fired or charged with a crime yet. Ugh.

3. Why is this person still on the job??She should be suspended at the very least. I would not allow my
child to go to her class. I would demand a switch or a new teacher.
Unions.

5. I think she should be fired.
If the situation really is as indicated here, if I were the parent of one of those students, I would want her to be fired.
Unions.

20. This is completely unacceptable. I do not understand anyone defending this practice.
THese teachers need to be fired after a hearing of some sorts. They should not be paid for 3 years these insane rules
need to be changed.
Last week we had 3 teachers in California molesting children with the lollipop game, tasting game, and some bondage???
These teachers need to be fired, not put in some rubber room with pay.

24. There are plenty of DUers who have attacked Stephen Brill for writing such incovenient truths....
If you google 'democratic underground' 'brill' and 'ravitch' you will note some of the noise.

25. Where are the teachers on this board?? MadFloridian, KBilKansas and many others who said this rubber
room was a misrepresented lie?? This is crazy. Teachers should be protected but not at the cost of the children!!

Face it DUmbasses, you have completely ****ed up our school system and taken our moral compass and thrown it into the trash compactor. This is of your doing.
Here's another story:
As The Chronicle reported today, Galileo High School celebrated Valentine’s Day with a “Love Fest†that featured same-sex marriage ceremonies and safer-sex games. In one exercise, students puts on goggles “that made their vision slightly blurry, simulating a drunken state.†A teacher told students “to put a condom on a wooden penis. Most of the students left air in the condom tip, which could lead to breakage, and that prompted an instructional rebuke from (teacher Raina) Meyers.†As Jill Tucker reports:

Pisces will almost certainly be tombstoned long before this disgraceful excuse for a teacher is fired.
Teachers' unions love fighting tooth and nail to protect the careers and reputations of the scumbags in their midst, especially in cases in which pedophilia/ child pornography is involved.

All that anti union hate speech is just ugly rethuglican lies !!!
Everything we do is all about the kids !!!

One could only imagin the things that would happen here in my little home town if this ever happened. Getting fired would be the least of their troubles.

THis is absolutely shameful and as usual all the assorted morally repugnant idiots have learned how to take advantage of a system that leans heavily in their favor as educators. Reap what you sew dummies, just a shame our future has to be pulled into the disastrous mess you created

It's the first person I though of.

The plagiarizer and the dirt bag from KC won't touch this story with a ten foot pole.
They wouldn't be able to defend their precious union, and they can't debunk what occurred.

Actually Pam is from Wichita.
It's the other KS teacher, Proud2BlibKansan that works in KC. She works in the MO side but lives in the KS side.
Pam Dawson is an amusing idiot. Anne Pritchette is a socialist scumbag.
