Third Miramonte Teacher Implicated in Sexual Abuse Scandal

Umm, this is starting to sound McMartin-ish.  Including the other teacher who was arrested.  While, I understand the horrors that these children have been through, I think that the district is handling this poorly.  Dr. Deasy is not speaking to the parents, he is replacing the whole staff, they  are treating the families like they are second-class citizen, still.  I think that the reason this happened in the first place is because this is a poor school, in a poor neighborhood, with poor families who speak little to no English and the teacher in question took unmerciful advantage of it for thirty years, knowing that most of the kids and families would never report him because of their fear of authority and/or their immigration status.  Add to the fact that most teachers don't WANT to teach in these schools, they were probably grateful to have this guy, who was probably enthusiastic to work there.  I think this is just another example on why LAUSD needs to be broken up.  It is just far too big to serve the needs of all it's students well. I just don't see how a district with over a half a million kids can do a reasonably good job.  Wouldn't it be better to break the district into smaller districts, so that the schools can get more individualized attention?

Wow, I didn't think this could get any more horrible than it already was.
