Topic : 06/13 Teacher Sex Scandal, Part 2

The Glen Rose School Board and the Parents of these 2 Lying boys better get their checkbooks ready, because this woman is not going to give up until they give back financially for at least something that has been taken from them.

Not only she needs to have vindication but all the other teachers who stand to be in her place, who might be accused. 

There should be a foundation to where these teachers have a place to go and have the where with all to help fight their battles against such student or school board actions.

I felt Dr. Phil was harsh in his assessment of the teacher's reactions to the accusations.  He didn't think she was reacting "normally" for a person in her compromised position.  I believe her responses were quite normal considering that she's already been going through this mess for a number of years (in other words, the accusations are not "news" to her at this point, evoking the original emotional "normal" response) and she is now taking an analytical approach.  She's already been through the extreme emotional aspects and is now listening for the inconsistencies, gathering data for future court appearances, etc.  She knows she can't win unless she is calm and prepared.

I don't believe any of the boys.  I think they got caught up in this situation and can't find the courage to do the right thing (but for the one who couldn't prove out his accusations and recanted).  They are immature and unable to step up to the plate.  I believe they would have let her serve time at this point to save face and not cause embarrassment to themselves or their family and community.  That is the criminal act.  And I think they should serve time for the humiliating accusations, including the boy who recanted.  This would send the message that you can't play God with people's lives, hearts, marriages and standing in the community and then just walk away unscathed.

I love Dr. Phil, but this is one time I thought he erred in his evaluation.  His parting comment (paraphrased) was "It must be frustrating to you (the boy)" with reference to the polygraph.  This boy is a liar and didn't deserve even minimal support, in my opinion.  The frustration he refers to should be saved for the teacher, wrongly accused of heinous acts.

The teacher didn't act as upset as most would when confronting the student.  Her only concern was the details that he didn't get exactly right.  I think she is guilty.  Why would these boys go through all the lie detector tests, courtroom drama and public ridicule that they could possibly receive if it weren't true? 

As a mother of two high school boys,  I would be outraged at something like this happening to them.  They would probably have to put me in jail when I found out what this teacher had done.  We put our trust in their teachers and they are suppose to protect our children when they are with them.  I hope she doesn't teach anyone elses children in the future.

First of all these boys failed their poly.  Second of all this poor woman has been from hell and back she probably is on anti-depressants and that could factor her lack of emotion.  She is numb.  I feel so sorry for her, they should sue the school system.

You couldn't pay me to be a teacher these days.

Every one has forgotten, that the boys did nt initiate the complaint A female student complained about what she percieved as inappropiate behavior by the teacher. This started an investiation which led to the boys who were raped by her. If the female student had not gone to administration, the boys they said, likely woud have taken the story to their grave. And, the poem did not identify the teacher. If it had, she would have been fired 6 years ago.
