If this woman is looking for her 15 minutes of fame, she deserves a full blown exposé on 20/20, Nightline, Frontline, 60 Minutes, Today Show, Tonight Show, Tomorrow’s Show, Conan O’Brien, everywhere!!! What a crock… Unbelievable that as a student (and as a parent), and therefore, as a CUSTOMER, one has to take this kind of crap from a professor and from a school. My kids go to a private high school (very strict, very disciplinary-driven, very academically-challenging) and I always tend to believe that teachers will tell you the truth quicker than teenagers will (after all, teenagers will push the envelope, right?). I am not a blind parent that way – kids will be kids and pull wrong moves and make mistakes. However, when one teacher kept picking on my one child, accusing him of cheating because he saw him talking to a friend in the hallway in between tests without evidence or suspicion, or accusing him of gambling because he overheard him asking a friend for the $1.00 that his friend owed him, and issuing him detentions for stupid stuff, I set my foot down and demanded a face-to-face meeting. The teacher would not return any of my many phone calls and when I finally got a hold of the School Counselor, he called back saying “oh it is all a big misunderstanding, that’s not what has transpired blah blah blah”. I pushed for the meeting and when we had it, with a third party witness appointed by the school, all this jerk kept doing was back-pedaling and doing the “hameda hameda” dance. The idiot, his voice was shaking. I made sure that he and the school understood that if my kid is in the wrong, he needs to (and will have to) face the consequences at school and at home, but if he’s wrongly accused, I am there to defend him as a parent and as a customer. They are doing me no favors – instead, I’m doing them a favor by sending my kids there, at $8,500 per year per kid (high school).

Unbelievable what these idiots will try to pull, especially when they have tenure – they feel untouchable. Someone, quick, call Jay Leno and Conan. Oh, they would have a lot of fun with this.
