Chill- No one is threatening to “torpedo anyone’s career”
the child is brave enough to tell her mother and others that something feels not right, and she just does not want to be in alone in one-on-one art sessions with this man
yet the school is forcing the issue
The school AND the teacher are not even willing to make a reasonable accomodation such as that classes be held when others are using the art lab. What kind of teacher or adult insists that a child be forced to continue in this uncomfortable situation and offers no alternative except threats?
As a Mom, in my mind that alone sets off distant alarm bells
Who is the bully here?
if it's an 18-year-old senior (or even a 17-year old), then it's time she learns to deal with "creepy" people in an adult manner.
Probably the end result of this is that students will get less individual art instruction.
But there certainly are people on this thread advocating filing an official sexual harassment complaint against the teacher — and making sure that it goes into his permanent record.
That is vigilante thought policing.
