Inaction sank sub teacher in school porn case; read the full trial transcript

Well, the Norwich "teacher porn" case made the front page of the Sunday Edition of the Norwich Bulletin as a feature with side bars and extended coverage on their website. Links below should lead you to full transcripts of the trial and the commentary of local commentators on the story can also be read.


My take?


Been there done that. Had adware and adware storms attack some of my school computers. In the time frame that this happened we had not deployed protections at the workstation or network level. However we did have filtering on 99% of our machines that made the scenario less of a problem for me. I can see myself in the at classroom, I can see an asst.  principal who did not deal with it immediately, but checked the next day. I can see that the school culture about a sub who had complaints about using a computer too much.


However, thee were a thousand things she could have done taht would have not taxed her limited computer knowledge. Even a couple of pieces of notebook paper taped over he screen would have been effective. The fact that she went out to AOL undercuts her case.
