Children liable for calling ex-Catholic school teacher a 'perv' and 'creeper'

For Teachers, I feel this is good change. As a parent, it could be a negative. From reading what the teacher did, I disagree with his actions. As a male teacher, it's very important to never, never put yourself in a position where you can be accused of anything.

Children liable for calling ex-Catholic school teacher a 'perv' and 'creeper' - Mail Online

When I was a teacher, a story I heard 3rd hand about a male teacher who was accused by some girls of something, and the reason that came out was the girls were upset with him over a grade. It finally came out later,  but by then the teacher's career had been ruined.

Regular Bedtimes Helps Improve Student Scores

 Having a set routine helps in building a habit. When I was subbing, I saw so many kids of all ages, who were so tired in class, because they had not gotten a good nights sleep the night before. Kids need sleep. Being sleep deprived I read is similar to being drunk. Think how good a student you are if you were drunk? And by having a set bed time, it helps for making it consistent. I know students who do all nighters to cram at the last minute, but to actually learn the material for the longer term, it does not help. You may pass the test, but if you ever need to use it again, you will need to re-learn it.

  • Sleep gives very young children's brains a chance to process and learn
