Replies to '06/12 Teacher Sex Scandal, Part 1'

At the previous high school that I worked at, I was "harassed" by a male student. He continually asked me for money, he wanted to know what I thought about his looks, and he continually asked me to date him. I complanied to the department chair and to school administrators. The vice principle told me to humor him. I find nothing humorous about a 17 year old boy coming on to a 40+ year old teacher. Administration refused to stop the harassing behavior because the student was ESL ( English second language ) and special ed. Because of being ESL and in special ed, he brought in a huge amount of money to the district in government funding. That is why they tolerated his behavior and ignored my complaints.

I really feel for the teacher that you had on todays program. She is showing a great deal of courage to come forward with this. I wish that I had as much courage as her.
