TEACHERS

First off as an Elementary Education major, I am going to rant about how some teachers are portraying awful habits towards children in different high school among us. I do not know exactly what is going on in their heads it just puts me in amazement. Most of the Joplin Area has heard about the new allegations between the Webb City teacher and the football player having sexual relations although, she was fired the student is still approved to graduate and continue his scholarship on Football. He therefore had no punishment and it just amazes me how the Webb City School foundation works. I also did some research on other teachers here in the state of Missouri, there is a website known as http://www.teacherscrime.com/, you can locate any state and it will tell you the charges. I think it is rather inappropriate that teachers seem to find younger children “attractive”. I read up on a girl named Teresa Engelbach whom was a student teacher, had sexual relations with a 14-year-old boy, the charges were felony, second degree statutory rape and misdemeanor of sexual misconduct. I really did not expect to read about so many teachers doing this kind of action and I would think they could find someone their own age. Right? Guess not! I also read on CNN that two teachers were using unacceptable behavior at a pep rally using lap dances to draw attention. Who does that? Seriously, do you want to teach students that it is OK to sell yourself to SEX? I understand in health class that we teach student to use protection and be safe but that just makes them more curious. If the teacher is doing this behavior then they think they can as well. They are 13-18 years old it is not acceptable and it really makes me PISSED that schools hire these kind of people and the handbook is not followed accordingly. I think using the websites to locate sexual offenders near your home is a great to be protective of your home and know the people around you. Although, living near a few of them really worries me because of my daughter and people are just crazy at times. I pray that every family is safe… The world can be a scary place.
