Gate keepers of academia

In Canada, the Bachelor of Education degree is one of the easiest to get. In my 4th year, I came into my Language and Culture class (?) a few minutes late and found all my fellow students sitting on the floor while the professor read out of a picture book. Virtually all the projects were group work, or had the option to be group work and in some of my classes, we were asked to submit our desired mark for our final projects.

And then today I read this:

EDMONTON — A Spruce Grove junior high school teacher has admitted having sexual encounters with a 14-year-old student who was smitten with him, including having sex in a classroom.

The disgraced teacher has also confessed to making child pornography by giving the girl his video camera and asking her to make a video of herself naked in the shower. (#)

Probably one has nothing to do with the other…
