Connect?

Quote From: angelhunter

Teachers connect with students. And though the notes do seem iffy out of context , as a teacher I must say...you don't spend your days interacting thinking would a jury consider this and indication of guilt. Now that I look back there probably are some interactions...hugs, copliments, gifts etc...that although truly harmless, would be used against me I am certain if a student decided to let ther imagination and mouth go to far...these guys got in a way over their head...the lie took on a life of its own and now she's paying. A note does not indicate sexual conduct....trust me. As far as her composure...Dr. Phil and that boy are lucky she didn't do exactly what I would have done which is reach over and slap the lies out of his mouth for putting her family in danger of loosing a mother and a wife. Shame on that punk.

You say that teachers connect with students.  That is fine as long as they connect in the classroom and not outside the school.  Don't you think it was odd for her to invite him over to her home?  I have never heard or teacher slipping special coded note to boys in her classroom.  Where there is smoke there is fire and she provided the smoke!

I too am a teacher and my comment was about Dr. Phil was expecting her to act a certain way not the notes.  I never said a note indicated sexual contact.  In fact, I said the opposite.  Although I thought inapproiate behavior was displayed, I did not think she engaged sexually with any of those kids.  As a high school teacher I think it would be hard to build relationships with students when you fear that things could be turned into something it is not.
