Teachers in porn case exhibited low levels of maturity

Chris Rickert:

I had a couple of ideas for what to write about the Middleton teacher reinstated to his job by an arbitrator this week after being fired two years ago by the school district for viewing pornographic emails at work.

Maybe a column about why the middle school teacher, Andrew Harris, would even want to return to a district that doesn't want him.

Maybe decrying the fact his case has taken two years and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to resolve.

Or maybe even looking at how similar cases might be handled now that union protections have been significantly weakened.

But after reading the arbitrator's report, what I can't get over is how a group of ostensibly well-educated professionals in the well-regarded Middleton-Cross Plains School District can come off looking like the cast of "Jersey Shore."
