The problem isn’t the students, its the teacher.

It's a lot of teachers. The Timberlane school district in sleepy Plaistow New Hampshire recently had a teacher who had a 'consensual relationship' with a student, a middle school girl's soccer coach and gym teacher convicted of many counts of purchasing kiddie porn, and a high school teacher who maintained a social media site advocating drug use and sexually deviant behavior to students (he was only asked to make his site private).

I think it's time for a class action lawsuit against the NEA that enables and protects these predators. Teachers assault more children than the BSA and Catholic Church combined.

Again? Those teacher/student relationships have been going on for at least the last 40 years at Timberlane. I think the last time I heard of one was by a socker coach at that school.

There was one at Exeter high but the people involved kept things quiet until after she graduated. Then they got married.

Plaistow isn’t as sleepy as it used to be. Lots of hustle and bustle going on there now. It’s practically North Haverhill.

The standards at PEA seem to have slipped a bit. There was a grammar school in a town nearby who taught their students from grade one to function through the system in prep for PEA. So many local tuitions were awarded to Exeter students, tuition free.

Even if one didn’t acheive entry to Phillips, you still came out of that system with a better than average education.

I sure hop the crackdown on pedos continues. They damage a lot of children physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Many of them for life.

Pedos used to use candy—now they’re found with marijuana when arrested. Those warnings of yesteryear were prescient, but ignored.
