Illinois Teacher disciplined for warning students about survey
December 29, 2013
A Batavia High School teacher, John Dryden, was disciplined for explaining to his high school students that they had Constitutional rights protecting them from answering personal questions on a survey the school was conducting. The survey was not anonymous.
Current and past students of Mr. Dryden rallied around him in support.
A report of disciplinary action could be put into Mr. Dryden’s file. In the future, under the Race to the Top program, compliance with school mandates will become a critical part of a teacher’s evaluation and will be used in hiring and firing decisions.
Batavia, Illinois is a suburb of Chicago.
