·Teacher upset by false accusations from students

upset-false-accusations-students/

The teacher at the Dibrell School Marc Pyburn claims that three kids
falsely accused him of touching another student in an effort to get him fired,
and he wants a policy reform to ensure that this never happens again. During
the public comment period on Monday night, Marc Pyburn spoke before the
Warren County School Board and informed the members that kids had
recently tried to get him fired for implementing the cellphone prohibition. He
has been a teacher for 26 years, eight of which were spent in Gallatin, where
he claims he repeatedly had his life threatened but he manages to handle
them all in application of his teacher training and experience. He claims that
this circumstance exceeded all of his previous experiences at the institution
where he previously taught. In this teacher training what I perceived is that
his experience is his best training in order for him to handle such accusations.
He handles it very well and take a course of action immediately to settle it
with the school. He felt disrespected by how the school believes in the
students accusations without conducting further investigations but his
experience and teacher training has saved him from clearing his name and he
also got fired and lose his job.
