This was a public school and they tolerated this shit?

Sweet Jesus the standards have fallen.

Is it the parents, school board and administration or a combination of all 3?

    White flight and a state that hates education.

    The rest of the science department were “emergency certified” - eg, random bachelors degrees.

    I know for the fact the district has put teachers in without BACKGROUND CHECKS.
