I'm curious if all the people who say the school is wrong would be willing to financially support the school to keep them afloat if they lost a bunch of their students due to fear? If parents didn't want her at school, should they have raised tuition to be able to afford another teacher AND keep her on the payroll?
Private schools have to keep their students in order to be able to pay their bills. If parents are going to leave because of a teacher, that's a problem that can't be solved easily. Is it better to take a stand and protect your friend/employee at the risk of having to close the school? Then a lot of people would be out of jobs.
Private schools function differently than public schools. They have to keep their students or they close, period.
It's easy to sit at our computers and say they should keep her, but we're not sending our kids there and/or paying two teachers instead of one.
I'm not Catholic, but I fail to see how the fact that this is a Catholic school changes things.
Teachers are no different than anyone else. When your private life interferes with work and becomes a safety concern, the fact that it's not your fault doesn't really change the fear. I doubt this was a decision made without a lot of thought and angst.
Speaking of blaming the victim... there are a lot of victims here and the school is one of them. The cause of this problem is not the school, it is the abuser who violated a restraining order and apparently frightened a lot of people. I think people are taking the anger at what has happened to this woman out on the wrong party.
