The writer, Naomi Schaffer Riley, paints a depressingly familiar picture of university lecturers who wont even close their office doors when alone with a female student.
I’m not sure that will help you though.
I am a woman and a retired high school teacher. My policy was never to be alone with a student — male or female.
We had a particulary good-looking young male teacher join our department for his first teaching job. I made it a point to advise him to adapt my policy.
I’m a teacher and I wouldn’t close my door while with a student (male or female) either.
More so now with all the lawsuit crap but I do remember a time when my college profs didn’t have to worry about that.
