Thanks, Melian.
Public schools are the waiting rooms of H3ll... Thanks Dept Education, AFT, NEA et al.
Before the Dept of Education the U.S. was #1 in the world in educational success for money spent . . . now we are around #40!
Hey, D.C.! Eliminate the Dept of Education! Prohibit teachers' unions from making political donations; they are bribing their employers!
These data should be posted using the denominator. Otherwise they seem hard to put into context. What is the ratio of public school teachers to priests?
I just did some cursory research; figures of how many children molested/abused by teachers are hard to find as it has been covered up so much. May be of a little use; note the first article is old. It is difficult to find accurate teacher sex abuse numbers.

According to Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, 275 U.S. teachers have been accused of abuse since Jan. 1. And that’s only those who’ve been accused. By comparison, the Catholic League estimates seven credible sexual abuse cases each year for 40,000 priests.
The most widely cited study available, conducted in 2004 by the U.S. Education Department, estimated that 1-in-10 students will be sexually abused by a teacher during their years in school. One-in-10.
A February 2012 Slate.com article asked: “How many kids are sexually abused by their teachers?” The alarming answer: “Probably millions.” It’s an epidemic.
