to sensationalize cases of child-abusing teachers who slip through the cracks and remain teaching for years before being caught, while teachers wrongfully terminated don't get any kind of public notice at all. After all, teachers HAVE to be doing something wrong to be fired, right, since it is impossible to fire them?
By the way, most teachers who get caught for "misconduct" with students "slip through" the cracks and get hired because there is no record of them previously having done so.

The paper rants and raves about the expense of terminating these teachers. Well, yeah, but that's the breaks of administrative law. Administrative law is government law, and "due process" rights and procedures are true for all government sectors.
That doesn't mean the law is worth the paper it's written on, but it's there.
What is galling is this study mentions only 15 teachers in 19 states studied slipped through the cracks. Out of thousands and thousands of those who don't get certified or hired because of background checks. Yet the paper thinks this very rare occurrence is worth writing tons and tons of ink.
