Cross-examination by Prosecutor Lael Rubin: "On several occasions, you told [a mother] that you didn't like to leave Raymond Buckey alone with kids, correct?" "That is not correct." "Did you say that you told Mrs. B- that Raymond Buckey was not a qualified teacher?" "That is different from behaving improperly." "Mrs. Raidor, please answer my question! The question was 'Did you tell Mrs. B- that Raymond Buckey was not a qualified teacher?' " "Yes." "My question was, Mrs. Raidor, what caused you to say Raymond Buckey was not a qualified teacher?" "His lack of experience and not having a very definite program, but
then that was my opinion...."
