These kinds of statistics were noted several years ago my Professor Philip Jenkins, University Of Pennsylvania in his comparison between Catholic priests, other religious from different denominations and secular professions. Jenkins found that priests had the lowest percentage of abuse of any of the groups.
But you can bet that there will not be slanderous attacks on all teachers the way there have been and are slanderous attacks on all Catholic priests.
It defies justice and decency to slander and libel any group because of a small perccentage of criminally deviate members, but this kind of reporting needs to be put into persepctive with the crap that was leveled against the Catholic Church.
Children are not required to be in church but they are required by law to be in school.
Also they spend 8 hours at school whereas few children spend 8 hours a day at church.
FAR more opportunities for molestation. Now I won't say that this accounts for the difference in numbers of assaults, I am trying to make the point that there is much more likelihood for molestation at school and serious attention needs to be focused on the providers of that state mandated child care.
