10/19 Teacher Caught in the Act
Quote From: obx4mePeople need to get over the idea that this is something new. It's just like kids going missing or school violence. We think this is something new because there are 24-hour news stations and we hear about every little thing that happens.
When I was in high school there was a chorus teacher who offered my best friend a job as his babysitter. Trust me, she was taking care of a whole lot more than the needs of his kids. Then he recruited me into the chorus. I told him I'd think about it, and next thing I knew, I was getting a notice that my class schedule had been changed and I was in his class. Fortunately, I was bright enough to see what was going on and quickly had it changed back.
Teachers have been preying on their students since the beginning of time, both male and female. Perhaps women are doing it more because they feel empowered these days .... With the good comes the bad. Don't kid yourself. This was going on in YOUR school, too. This is not new and I don't think anyone is saying it is...just because it's been happening doesn't mean it's not an important social and criminal issue that needs to be continually brought to light.
And for the record from what I saw myself this didn't go on in my schools, it's possible, but I never saw anything like it. So it's also possible it never happened in my schools.
Bringing it to light might help empower kids and scare the crap out of bad teachers. Did you report this teacher? Did your friend? How many innocent kids got hurt because you or someone else didn't come forward?
