(37,516 posts)Because students are all rights and no responsibilities, and the way to make sure they learn responsibility is to make sure they never suffer any consequences of failing to live up to basic human values.
Meanwhile, teachers are all responsibilities and no rights, and anything less than perfection on the part of the teacher is a vile sin and crime against all the higher laws of nature and must be recompensed with the sharp, sure sword of truth and revenge lest any other teacher think that a mistake could ever be forgiven. Even if the "mistake" is failing to properly secure something that only a thief would want.
Hell, if she'd had them on her phone in a closet at home and a student broke in and took them, she'd probably be condemned for allowing photons to touch her naked body, being received by a CCD device, recorded, and the record used to violating the eyes of the students. It's the student who was violated, not the teacher, and the teacher would be punished. That would be silly talk.
The student did something very bad. The teacher did nothing wrong.
I am honestly surprised by the failure of the courts in this case to see the foolishness of their actions: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/26/us/massachusetts-teacher-killing-sentence/
Obviously, whoever pronounced this kid "evil" should also lose their job and be forced to pay compensation for the rest of his/her miserable life.
But seriously, not a week goes by where I don't hear some students figuring out how to plot to set up a teacher to get him fired for giving them a low grade or daring to tell them to be quiet or keeping friends from sitting together. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in these cases.
