• Apr 12 Why can I not find the background history for a teacher in Oregon? My child has a disability and has a teacher who is not liked by most of the kids, has a history ( that I got from kids who have already had her as a teacher ) of shutting kids in dark closets when she could no longer control them, and slapping them. I don't know anything more than that, and I cannot find out unless I pay for it? Since when was my childs safety in school considered something I must pay additional for? Do I not already pay taxes? Shouldn't public records actually be public? Why must I pay for them? And to do a teacher background check I must pay!!!! So if I don't have the money and my child ends up being brain washed and has personality issues and goes on a shooting spree and then goes to jail because of a teacher who thinks that she knows better than the parents what to do for the child, shouldn't I be able to sue her? They say that teachers and parents need to work together. I tried to be involved and she told me I needed to stop doing everything for my child. I don't do everything for my child, she has disabilities that prevent her from being able to do a lot on her own. She basically told me that she went to school for this and I didn't so she knows better than me how to treat my kids. I carried my kids for nine months, I fed them, bathed them, calmed them, did everything for them and this totel stranger wants to tell me that she knows my kids better than me? I want to protect my child, I am my child's voice, and though I am just a homemaker and my husband is just a blue collared worker, just because we are poor, is no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to protect my child. I didn't know that to protect my child meant that all the taxpayer dollars that we have payed was nothing and meant that we had to pay some more just to protect our child. Funny, considering that the states child protective services say they will take your child if you cannot protect the child, and provide for them. Please someone tell me how I am suppose to do this without the income needed? My whole family has disabilities, my husband could have stayed home and been payed ssi, I am waiting for approval for ssi after I lost my job getting beat up by seven people for trying to help my neighbor retrieve their stolen car that was stolen by the same people who beat me up, and both our kids have unique disabilities that require alot. Does that mean I shouldn't be able to get a teachers background check? We want our kids to have what we were never given a chance to have in school, a safe childhood with happy memories in a school environment. Because that is where our kids are most of the time, in school, doesn't feeling safe and happy in school make the amount learned higher? Make for better leaders for this country? Why can't we have that chance for our kids too? So why do we have to pay again for a background check that our taxpayer dollars have already payed for? Maybe the school board shouldn't pocket all the money and save some for background checks. Geez, the principle alone makes three figures a year! If there is not enough money in the budget then maybe those politicians and school people should think about taking a pay cut. Teachers blame parents, parents blame teachers, and the whole while the politicians responsible for this disaster between parents and teachers sits back in their multi, thousand dollar chair, in their thousand dollar suits, with their bmw's and rolex on their wrists and rub their hands together with glee, for they see another way to make more money by ripping us all apart. I would like to see how their kids get treated in schools compared to ours. No wonder crime is up. No wonder college kids party more than learn. No wonder some kids don't even care. If parents can't protect their child, then why should their child believe what their parents say? Makes me want to move to Canada! I hear their schools like parents involved.
