Must be nice to be paid to not work at your job. She is probably getting paid to meet with lawyers about the lawsuits....

Susan is a ignorant cunt. She is losing her job and declaring bankruptcy. Hopefully her parents have not turned her old room into the exercise room yet. She will be headed back home, a complete failure.

How can she declare bankruptcy when she has been paid full salary for not working, the school system (meaning the taxpayers) is paying all of her legal expenses, etc.? She might have to change careers. Since she is so good with chemicals maybe bartending would be a good option for her. How many bar fires have you heard about? You get an occasional Flamethrower, but pretty rare.

Can someone provide a logical explanation as to how this teacher can possibly be on paid administrative leave, 7 months after her negligence disfigured two students for the rest of their lives and emotionally impacted 20+ witnesses? It was abundantly clear the day after the incident that her actions resulted in this tragedy and the WP has now confirmed as true. I do hope the families of these victims are seeking equal compensation. It makes me sick that our tax $ are going to this teacher who should have been fired immediately.

Numerous civil suits are in the works. They are going after the county and her personally. She will have to file bankruptcy to escape the judgements against her.

The teacher should be fully covered under the county insurance plan for negligence, etc.

Any lawsuits will probably take months.

It is pretty sad that we have to pay her full salary until this is settled, probably.

Innocent until proven guilty maybe?

Why not. People would like to know "the FINDINGS" of the investigation!

"Torre says the district has concluded an internal investigation into the accident, but does not plan to release its findings."

Self-Investigation? Really?

How many policies and guidance documents were issued AFTER the accident with dates BEFORE the accident?

How many in the administration at Woodson and Gatehouse ILLEGALLY CONSPIRED to make the teacher be the only one to take the fall?

The truth will come out in the civil suits. Give it time.

People declare bankruptcy for numerous reasons, even if they do have a job.

As for legal fees, the county may very well NOT be covering her attorney fees as is often the case with employees who are sued.

Honestly, the findings aren't anyone's business other than the people directly involved. Idle curiosity does not give anyone the absolute right to know everything.

I disagree. I think the county will cover all of her legal bills.
Educators can also buy insurance, but my guess is that the county will cover her. Why else would they be paying her?

The findings are everybody's business. It occurred on public property in a public school class and was due to an action of a public employee. Some portions would have to be redacted relating to minors.

Torre is just challenging somebody to call his bluff. These people are snakes. Absolute assholes. They are counting on people not wanting to spend the money to take this to court.....

They said on #IFuckingLoveScience that this was just fine, and would like make the girls all interested in STEM and stuff, just like me!

Nobody does actual science anymore--they do examples like this, and take tests, with their scrapbook/notebooks along to get the answers out of, IF the scrapbook has all the proper coloring done.

That goes for a lot of the teachers too--they were "trained" in environments just like the one this girl blew up, and have been for nearly a generation now.

Maybe it was the principal’s fault or someone else’s fault above her and they are just continuing to pay her so she will be pacified and complacent in her situation and not notice they are making her a scapegoat. They’re probably promising her she will always be taken care of and telling her not to worry but will break those promises and drop her like a hot potato once she’s convicted.

Employers are not required to cover an employees legal costs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Especially if it is determined that the employee was at fault/disregarded company policy, or just plain because they don't want to. The school system WILL defend itself but no law says they must defend an employee.

The finding may be everyone's business once this entire thing has gone through due process. But as most news agencies (and people) are wont to do, they get part of the issue correct and then run with it. Never bothering to correct any errors that may have been "hypothesized" in the initial stages. Additionally, there are children and families involved and it isn't "everyone's" business to know what exactly happened. So, what is your burning desire to know? Curiosity? Vengeance? Nosiness?

Right now it is all about damage control.

The school system covers the legal expenses of an employee in a situation like this.

It IS everybody's right to know. You don't have to have a reason to want to know. You have a right. We pay for her legal expenses, the school system's legal expenses, everything.

Torre is just throwing down the gauntlet. It's a tease. Somebody needs to research this and get some information. Call them on it.

Just talked to a retired teacher. The school systems cover their employees for liability. That is why they don't carry their own professional liability policies.

We pay for everything. That is why Garza and all the others don't give a flying fart what their employees do.

Does FCPS automatically delete email accounts when an employee departs (either voluntarily or not). Parents and Chem Students are still getting emails from Sharaf's account. Apparently the long-term sub was not issued his own account and is using hers to communicate grades and routine correspondence - 7 months after she went on leave. You'd think the school system could show a little sensitivity and not constantly remind these families, via emails from the current teacher with her name on the email, of the horrors of Oct 30. A lot of lives were permanently scared both physically and mentally. God help us all if the plan is for her to return to the classroom at Woodson (or any other FCPS classroom).

Why is a sub using Sharif's email account? You have to have pass codes to use that, don't you? Pass codes that you are not supposed to share! Sharif still needs her email account. She is still an employee and is probably dealing with lots of correspondence. Like to the school lawyers, HR, etc. Give the sub her own email address. Are you making this up?

If that’s the solution then in cases where teachers cause irreparable damage to the emotional and developing, yet innocent, psyche of our adolescent children through their introduction to their perverted ideas of sexual education, can we just get rid of health class?

At first I thought your idea was juvenile but now I kind of think you have something.

"A chemistry demonstration at a Fairfax County high school went out of control Friday morning, with a flash of flame engulfing a group of students, leaving two with serious burns and also sending three others to the hospital.

The blaze at W.T. Woodson High School sent students scrambling as smoke and screams burst from a classroom and a teacher went running down the hall, her shirt still on fire. Helicopters and ambulances swooped onto the campus, and students spent much of the morning huddling together on the football field’s bleachers while ventilation fans cleared chemical-laden air from the school.

The incident began 10 minutes into second period, when a chemistry teacher poured flammable liquid onto a desk and lit it with a Bunsen burner, according to several students who said they were in the class. The teacher then introduced chemical elements, such as copper, to demonstrate their different effects on the colors of the flames — a well-known, captivating yet sometimes-risky experiment.

As the flame appeared to die down, the teacher poured more liquid onto the table, students said, causing a “splash of fire” to hit those nearby. One student said the teacher was not wearing any protective gear, nor were the students in the room, including those closest to the experiment.

One screamed when her hair caught fire. Another had burns to his face and singed eyelashes. Another student’s jacket caught fire."

A chemistry demonstration at a Fairfax County high school went out of control Friday morning, with a flash of flame engulfing a group of students, leaving five dead and sending two dozen others to the hospital.

The blaze at W.T. Woodson High School sent students scrambling as smoke and screams burst from a classroom and a teacher went running down the hall, her shirt still on fire. Helicopters and ambulances swooped onto the campus, and students spent much of the morning huddling together on the football field’s bleachers while ventilation fans cleared chemical-laden air from the school.

The incident began 10 minutes into second period, when a chemistry teacher poured flammable liquid onto a desk and lit it with a Bunsen burner, according to several students who said they were in the class. The teacher then introduced chemical elements, such as copper, to demonstrate their different effects on the colors of the flames — a well-known, captivating yet sometimes-risky experiment.

As the flame appeared to die down, the teacher poured more liquid onto the table, students said, causing a “splash of fire” to hit those nearby. One student said the teacher was not wearing any protective gear, nor were the students in the room, including those closest to the experiment.

One screamed when her hair caught fire. Another had burns to his face and singed eyelashes. Another student’s jacket caught fire.

"It was awful," the student reported. "All 42 of us were trying to escape through the only door at the same time."

The fire quickly spread, first to the students' belongings, then to the ceiling, where it spread to the hallway and other classrooms.

It took firefighters about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control.

In addition to the two students trampled to death in the classroom doorway, one died from burns, and two from smoke inhalation. Seventeen students remain hospitalized for observation with non-life-threatening injuries. Names are being withheld pending family notifications.

The teacher escaped with burns to her hands, face, and throat.

Fairfax County Public Schools issued a statement expressing regret for the deaths and injuries. After-school activities will be held as scheduled, though the science wing will be closed through tomorrow as clean-up continues.

A fire investigator noted that the overcrowded classroom may be to blame for the deaths and injuries. "These classrooms were designed for fewer students, and the distance between the teaching/demonstration area and student desks should have been greater," he said. "In addition, any time you have more than 24 people in a classroom, a second exit is required."
