We're not indoctrinating, We're not grooming. … What we're doing is making sure we educate kids. We keep them safe. We keep them welcome. And we teach them how to think, not what to think.
-got me fired-up, and lead me on a search for empirical research on sexual misconduct in schools.
In short, NOBODY is really researching the subject. This research was the only comprehensive research I could find, and it's 18-years old. This is stunning: such a huge problem and it's getting no academic research. This is probably due to an unspoken blackballing that'd happen to academics who shine light on this grotesque underbelly of education.
Other posts on this subject include this Ted Talk about Stopping Sexual Abuse by School Employees stating that 5.7 million students have faced sexual abuse from school employees across all 50 states in America and this article on how predatory teachers stay on the job.
The recent groomer sensation has (finally) riled up people, and the trans and same-sex dimension has been the magnet. Fair enough, and while same-sex educator-student abuse at about 30% of instances is higher vs this group's composition in society, opposite sex educator-student abuse at 70%+ of all misconduct remains in the majority.
And people wonder why homeschooling is on the ascent...

Exactly. Makes me wonder who or what group if preventing “discovery”’
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Young teacher, the subject
Of a schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there’s longing
This girl’s an open page
Book marking - she’s so close now
This girl is half his age
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it’s not so easy
To be the teacher’s pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she’s waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It’s no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
My candy giver ‘enticer’ in the first or second grade, was the janitor. I ran but didn’t say anything. I suspect more kids than not, do not report these pervs.
Gee and all I got from my eigth grade English teacher was a thesaurus
Re: “...roughly 10 percent of students experience sexual misconduct by a teacher... “
^^^^^^^^^^^
What about the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse from **students**? What is that percentage.
Teacher abuse added to student abuse and why would any parent risk this for their child? Is the free babysitting really worth it?
No wonder homeschooling is growing.
Isn’t it “sexual misconduct” when a doctor cuts an underage boy’s testicles off? Yet doctors in this country do it everyday.
There is one thing about these young women teachers and boys today that mystifies an old man like me. They, (the teachers that have sex with the young boys) are almost all really fine looking. It’s not the fat ugly ones with the green hair and the nose ring. The part I don’t understand is why these so called “young male victims” turn the teacher in and get her jailed for stautory rape. When I was in school, we would have loved to have a teacher like that and took advantage of every opportunity presented. We would have lied our asses off to protect her, and certainly never told our parents. Low testosterone these days I guess, the pussification of America. What else could explain it.
