So before we all get out our pitchforks, can you detail the nature of the felony, and the alleged crime for which he was arrested? There are lots of former felons who have turned around their lives and have become productive members of society. You’d be surprised by how many you interact with on a regular basis. Unless he is on THE registry, having a teacher who is a former felon isn’t a good reason to drop out. Also regarding the recent arrest, I assume he was not convicted if he isn’t in prison and still teaching. Can you please provide more context?

Exactly. I find it hard to believe schools are so strapped for teachers they would allow someone who was a danger to students to be teaching

You might find it hard to believe but I’m wondering if you know how bad the teacher crisis is right now, honestly I wouldn’t be fully shocked. I don’t know how bad it is in CT specifically but nationwide it’s a very big problem

My parents are both teachers. It’s pretty difficult to become one and the background checks are pretty extensive. This is CT. Not Florida.

And I’m thankful for that last part every damn day lol. No I believe you, but it’s not like people or systems are infallible, con men have scammed their way into all types of positions. It seems OP has no basis for their claims however so in this case seems like a bored teenager They provided evidence for their claims and they’re not wrong at all, I saw the charges. The teacher does have a common name but it’s easy to tell which one is him by the birth year. The courthouse really did confirm to OP’s father that the charges belong to the same man they are concerned about.

So looking at the teachers- there are two guys it could be and one has a VERY common name. Like, could easily be someone else.
