A Flawed System

Series: "Broken Trust: A Herald-Tribune Investigation"

A four-part series on how Florida's system of teacher discipline is dysfunctional at every level.
Sub head: Despite charges by students, instructors often end up back in the classroom. The series continues on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
--------------------------------------
It was the culmination of two years of investigation and reviewing 14,000 records, interviewing hundreds, including a teacher who sexually abused a student who would talk to them.

Reading the text versions of the stories is easier. (Otherwise, it's like a slideshow for idiots.)

The interactive online presentation shows that what a newspaper can do in the Information Age to connect with readers and convey a vast amount of information. The case flow with commentary by Dr. Robert Shoop is an espcially brilliant way to educate and inform.
