I respect the angle the board took in this case. People might not like it but the rumors are not out their and only the facts will be known in time. It is too bad more business cannot be handled this way.

sannio, Uno means number 1,that's what my son says. I just don't get why the teachers go after something like this. There is much more bad things happening in our schools. Fights, drug dealing, etc. My son knows and see's many bad things going on and you would think the teachers would also see it.

...I never doubted that it wouldn't come out sometime.

My comments were intended ONLY to try to make biggirl realize that, sometimes, the government may need to keep up in the dark for the protection of personnel.

At some point, all needs to be vetted out to us, but there is a reason that boards are given an out on the open meeting law.

faze4 - What does "UNO" mean? I searched the Internet, but nothing was found other than what I thought it was. A card game, or #1. Why would your son be threatened with the police liaison? Should students be accompanied by their lawyers when they're at school now?

What is going on in our Janesville schools? My son goes to middle school and was called into the counslers office for calling a fellow student UNO (#1). They threatend him with the police liason. I could not believe it. My son is an A-B student. He also has a very good heart. He tells me everything, and was very hurt that he was called into the office. I called the counsler and asked if there was more to the story and she told me no. The boy never complained (to find out). It was another teacher that went and complained. My son went and apoligized to the other student and he said it did not bother him. I guess I just do not understand what goes on in our school system. The teachers need to teach and turn the real trouble makers in. Again I will be the first one to say my kids are not perfect but I feel they are honest. Teachers, don't pick on the good kids as there are some really bad one's causing a lot more problems then calling someone number 1.

Biggirl...

...If it was YOUR job they were talking about, would you want everyone here to know about it?

Or if someone accused you of something really bad, like sex with a student, would you want THAT out here for us to comment on BEFORE you'd been proven guilty?

And before anyone reads too much into what I said, these are just EXAMPLES...I do NOT know, nor do I have any idea what has been discussed.

I generally don't like private meetings by public bodies.

If no members of the Administration were present, then the most likely explanation is that the matter has to do with the Administration, and a person very high up in the Administration. Otherwise, Administrators are always wont to stick their fingers in the pie the same way that nature abhors a vacuum.

I remember serious charges against two teachers years ago. One of them was released. Students came forward and later admitted that their charges were false. That they had fabricated the stories. Can't blame the Board for crossing their t's and dot their i's on this one.
