[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A colleague of mine was fired for being alone off campus with a female student who was 17. They were in a public place but he had driven her there without her parent's permission. Another colleague was fired after having a series of text messages with a male student about being gay but not of a sexual nature.
Both these teachers were good educators who showed poor judgement. I am never alone with students an don't text ir use social media with them. There is simply no other way for innocent teachers to be above suspicion. Esp sad because the people actually abusing kids are retained.[/quote]

I don't think either of those things are appropriate.[/quote]

That's why I said they showed poor judgement. The first teacher gave a student a ride in the rain to the metro station. He should have had her call her parents first. The other teacher was trying to counsel a young man who was struggling with being gay and Muslim. He should have referred the boy to guidance although we all knew the counselor was a homophobe. Both were very missed by students and colleagues.[/quote]
