Nov 15, 2006 - Teacher misconduct is not limited to the U.S. A CTV - Canadian television expose on the Ontario College of Teachers who are in charge of teacher discipline reveals that the self-regulating body isn't doing such a fantastic job.
An analysis of the public records on the Ontario College of Teachers' website revealed 10 other teachers who've also admitted sexual misconduct -- and still have a license to teach. Those teacher's acts included kissing, sexual touching and even having intercourse with teenage students. Most of them were suspended, then later got their licenses back.The CTV Whistleblower program notes
Ontario and British Columbia are the only provinces where teachers are now entirely self-regulating. In all others, the Minister of Education has the final say on whether a teacher keeps their license. In Ontario, CTV News found the 11 teachers -- who've admitted sexual misconduct and still have licenses. B.C. told us there are 13 teachers there, who lost licenses for similar reasons, but only temporarily.I can find no investigations online in any internet search for U.S. teacher misconduct and how credentialing and licensing are handled behind closed doors.
