The Educator - Student Interaction Training Act

[TheMorningStar]

The Educator-Student Interaction Training Act, sponsored by Sen. Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) received approval from the Senate Education Policy Committee.

The bill would require teachers to receive one hour of training on a variety of topics, ranging from what type of physical contact is inappropriate to how they should interact with students on social media and outside of the classroom.

The bill comes just days after the Decatur Police Department arrested a 42-year-old teacher for having sex with students. Carrie Cabri Witt, a psychology and social studies teacher at Decatur High School, is accused have sexual relations with at least two students under the age of 19.

Two weeks ago a 37-year-old algebra teacher at Central High Freshman Academy in Phenix city was also charged with having sex with one of her students.

And earlier this year a former Alabama high school teacher avoided charges that she had sex with one of her students because she decided to marry him.

The Educator-Student Interaction Training Act references the recent incidents and calls for a mandatory seminar on appropriate and inappropriate teacher-student interaction.

The bill can be read in full on the legislature’s website.

Will they never learn that morality cannot be legislated. Anyone that would need to be taught about this shouldn't have been hired in the first place, but I have no idea how to screen them out.
