Word from Teachers in Ukraine

Has anyone heard any news from teachers in Ukraine? They have been absent from the forum and we are concerned for their well being and current situation. If you are currently in Ukraine or are a friend or family member of a Ukraine based educator (or other profession) please up-date this post with any information you may have. Thanks for your participation. Blog Admin

Yes we did remove the material on this incident from a review. This is extremely damming information about a school and we looked for some reassurance the incident took place between the teacher and student

Your comment: "[i]One of the ESL teachers was having sex with a 15-year-old student. The school wouldn't do anything, including telling the parents, because it would have hurt their bottom line."[/i]

Did you see them in the act? What proof do you have? After extensive searching on the internet there was absolutely no reporting on the incident and we then deleted the information.

We have no question that you experienced the jailing, etc. This is your first-hand reporting of your experience.

Can you send us a link to anything about the actual incident? Or any substantiating material.

Keep in mind that ISR is the one who will have to answer to the libel charges in a courtroom and we can't fight back with out something to work with, while you stand back safely enjoying anonymity.

If you post that the director is inept....that is your opinion. If you tell us a teacher is having sex with a 15-year-old that is considered libel if there is no proof.

As PsyGuy said: You need to have a smoking gun if you are going to make such claims.

Please email me at internationalschoolsreview@yahoo.com with a link to news articles or copies of the emails you talked about.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
