The Biggest Waste of Money Ever
So, I totally think this is ridiculous waste of money, especially as a person involved with Helix Charter High School. But the facts aren't straight in your article. December 2006, a male band director was arrested for have innapropriate relations with a teenage student. The next fall, a female band director was arrested for having innapropriate relations with a teenage student. Then a few weeks ago in May, ANOTHER teacher (this time not a band director) was arrested for having MORE innaproprite relations with a student, and finally a last (hopefully) teacher was picked up for innapropriate relations with the same girl as the teacher arrested in May. So there were more problems going on. It's terrible that a school has to send their teachers to school to teach them how NOT to be perverts. I thought that was called common sense. And since Helix is a charter school, no one can tell the president how to rule his money. Which leaves Helix (who has alumni such as Reggie Bush and Alex Smith ((the son of the principal))) with money they spend on re-doing the football field and track. I don't think and investigation should be sent on the teachers, "consulting" them how to NOT be pedafiles. I think the investigation should be on how the school is spending money.— June 25, 2008 11:07 a.m.
