I am a teacher as New Bedford High School and have been for quite some time! When asked in my interview, years ago, "why we should hire you", my response was quite simple. I am a teacher because I love children. I belonged at New Bedford High School because I am a product of NBPS and am a lifelong resident of the city of New Bedford. My prayer was to help the children of the city and be a positive role model for these children that may or may not have any positive role models in their everyday lives. Today, if I were asked the same question, I would run in the opposite direction. I am a human being. I have dignity! I deserve respect!
Pia Durkin, this message is for you. Please stop patronizing myself and the other intelligent adults listening to your political garbage. "Oh, I didn't know!" Yeah, sure you didn't know. You know when we sneeze wrong and are fast to come down on us like the "bad children" that you seem to think we are. Oh, you didn't know? Funny... a housemaster came and got the child from the room. This housemaster is watched like a hawk by your "spies" permanently located in the building. Keep claiming your ignorance to this problem. You're good at that! Attleboro didn't want you and New Bedford doesn't want you either. Shame on the school committee for allowing this to happen. Put the pressure on this woman to put the screws to the kids. If you put your hands on another person at any school in the district, you should be expelled immediately and police should be called and the child should be removed from the school permanently! No questions asked! I am disgusted that the superintendent and school committee have not stood up for teachers. We are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, children, sisters, brothers, cousins, friends. We have families to go home to. If anything happens to me, I guarantee you will be dealing with my long line of family members and will have to answer to them.
Let's see if Durkin retaliates against this teacher for speaking up on the news and revealing the chaos at NBHS. Remember, no one crosses Pia! She can't take not being in control.
Thank you channel 6 news for having the gumption to speak speak the truth! The sub standard times is so similar to mayor durkin,( I cannot capitalize her name) brush every violent episode under the rug. That is why my whole family canceled our newspapers. Unger should apply at the Enquirer.
Thinking about this long and hard. Please consider contacting Governor. This mayor needs to be removed from office. Too many teachers have been harmed in this district. Think about the power he gave Pia along with everything else. A turnaround plan should not include abuse either. We have no other recourse and I know he would listen to you. Teachers would be willing to meet with him in droves to share commonalities of experiences. We need hope, but more importantly, justice. We are not garbage, but that is how we are made to feel. The psychological toll is off the charts. What occurs in this district is criminal. Please consider this option. We need to preserve our integrity before it is too late. Mitchell also diminished our right to grieve. He is despicable with no regard to the humane treatment of teachers in this district. We have been alienated, abused, and sabotaged.

She better not bother this teacher because she now has a whole community on her side.
It's almost time for her departure,because of all of the abuse and cover ups.
Practically everyone hates her....
Headmaster claims he did not know about the incident until a week later. Smells like deflection.
Scandal, lies, and video tape...from Attleboro to New Bedford.
Small town problems=lunches thrown in trash Big city problems=chair thrown at teacher
