And then, there are teachers of a different kind

Another batch of discipline decisions has been released from BC’s Teacher Regulation Branch.

Among the nine teachers in this batch, some were disciplined for ‘unnecessary physical contact’ with students, others for improper use of sick leave, and one for speeding while driving a school bus.
 
James David Long stands out. He teased a girl wearing a Hallowe’en costume that included handcuffs, asking her go into the darkroom with him.
 
He made racist comments toward one student, such as, “speakee no English” and “go back to Korea.”

He once played his guitar for an entire class. And he often said he did not respect the education system.
 
For all that, he was told not to re-apply for his teacher certificate until he had been to a psychologist. That certificate was later canceled.
