Very popular teacher for years and year and no problem at all with his work, professionalism, anything. This guy sets the standard for GREAT teachers. Now one teen makes an accusation and his life is ruined. All the kids in school know her and her family and we can't the same about her/them. Maybe the cops should look at them and see what comes out from the shadows. Seems to a lot of us that Mr. Pappas was too nice and got burned.
Pappas is a great teacher. No one who knows him believes these accusations. Investigation into the "victim's " family needs to be done. The "victim" herself needs to be looked at also. Her story doesn't make since. Before someone's life is ruined, these accusations, the "victim" herself and her histiry need to be throughly investigated. Pappas' flawless reputation will speak for itself.
