Moving forward, I hope that there is enough of an investigation to discover how this all happened and how to prevent such occurrences in the future. My interest doesn't lie with skewering the teacher, but how the system worked, or didn't, in this case.
On the bright side, I have heard from parents whose kids are having a great year, and this incident is not necessarily high on their radar, as their experience at SWHS, like many families, is positive, their kids are doing well and are happy. I wish everyone knew the stories of the excellent teachers, the bright, high-achieving students, the dedicated athletes, and the caring parents at that school. Unfortunately, the positive news is not as interesting.
