Professions have regulatory bodies for a reason.
Filing complaints with regulatory bodies is a way to keep people safe and reduce the risk of harm to others. I want to remind people it’s not just teachers that can have complaints filed against them. But any certificate holder. That means teachers, principals, district staff, and the Superintendent. But not the Secretary-Treasurer. They are not certificate holders.
The Professional Conduct Branch in the Ministry of Education and Child Care (Teacher’s Regulation Branch) has recently released two new decisions.
I am focusing on this one because it involves a principal.
This person thought it would be a good idea to duct tape a child to their chair to “help the Student focus on their work.”
I deeply look forward to the day when educators stop associating sitting still with learning and focus.
