Quote From: beinformedOne point to be made, a teacher doesn't have to be alone in the classroom with a student for the false accusation to be made. Today an accusation is all that is needed for charges to be brought, and a teacher's life to be ruined.
Then, like in many of these postings, guilt is automatically assumed. One poster said "jail her". Maybe it should be "jail him", the student, for false statements to law officials.
I watched this show and felt like I was watching the last month in the life of my family. My 25 yr old nephew who is an advanced placement English teacher and High School football coach is at this moment on administrative leave because of false allegations from high school girls, a book that was on an approved reading list and wigged out, psychotic parents. What is wrong with us that we no longer have any sense about us at all?
Accusing teachers of sexual misconduct has become a national pasttime. Many times these students actually threaten teachers with allegations if they don't get the grades they want or just want some attention. Lives and careers go up in smoke because we think only adults can be sexual preditors. I have seen many high school students who were more sexually sophisticated than their teachers. My nephew has not been charged with any wrongdoing...yet, the community is divided, the school is in an uproar...all because of a Cormic McCarthy book and some girls making false allegations. It's a nightmare.
Get ready to home school your children. If we keep this up, there won't be any teachers. Who would want that job anyway? The pay is terrible and you risk going to prison for just showing up.
