‘Educator of the Year’ isn’t Much of an Award

I can’t tell you the number of times an award winning teacher has been found to be a less than acceptable teacher:

Special education teacher Willie Swindle, named 2011 educator of the year in California’s North Bay school district, is still teaching in the same classroom following allegations that he physically struck students.

Michael Delgado is one of Swindle’s students at Santa Rosa High School. He tells KGO-TV that Swindle would take him into the hall for a “pow wow,” during which the 67-year-old teacher would use both hands to smack the teen’s ears with force.

Swindle is denying the allegations and calls them unfounded. When the district was pressed to look into the matter, witnesses said Swindle tickled students and would “flick,” “pinch” and “pull” Delgado’s ears.

The report notes, “One witness also reported seeing Mr. Swindle clap Michael on both cheeks with his open palms while they were standing facing each other in the classroom. … Michael said, ‘Ouch’, and then no more than five minutes later, Mr. Swindle came back to Michael from behind and slapped his cheeks again,” according to KGO-TV.
