HOUSTON – We want to hear from our viewers -- especially our local teachers.
KPRC 2 reporter Rilwan Balogun recently spoke with a former teacher who says his life has been flipped upside down after false allegations were made against him by two students several years ago that put a halt to his 15-year teaching career.
Since then, he said he hasn’t been able to find a job since -- although the cases have been dismissed after the students admitted to lying on the stand.

Many teachers find themselves walking a thin line and feeling powerless when dealing with misbehaving students or false allegations.

We want to know your thoughts on how these cases should be handled.
