More on Carrie Shafer

A source who purports to be a former friend of Shafer's wrote to confirm allegations about Shafer's husband and their tumultuous relationship. Apparently Dr. Shafer - a neurologist, not a neurosurgeon as previously reported - has quite a temper. For example, at the Shafer's wedding, the doctor allegedly attempted to play a song on guitar, botched it, and became openly irate. According to the source, Dr. Shafer constantly accused Mrs. Shafer of having affairs and made her life so miserable at home that she took refuge in her work. The source said specifically that Carrie Shafer will be safer in jail than she was with her husband.

Sources at Manual say that teachers and students alike have been ordered not to communicate anything with anyone about this issue.

This will be the last I write about the Shafer case unless JCPS authorities do one of their classic authoritarian overreach maneuvers. Then the story will be about abuse of power, not about the all-too-commonplace public fall of a teacher, and writing about abuse of power is why this blog was created.

My invitation to JCPS whistleblowers stands open. Is your boss at Van Hoose asking you to cook the books? Is an administrator at your school making inappropriate remarks about students? Are schools claiming that they have programs, facilities, and resources that they don't actually have in order to lure in parents from across town? CONTACT JCPS CONFIDENTIAL AND LET US KNOW.
