[quote=Anonymous]I think most male teachers  usually just high-five or fist-bump with their students. I agree that unscrupulous teachers can and do abuse children, just like horrible nasty children can make false allegations against teachers.

A very amazing and mild teacher in our school was accused of touching a girl. After a thorough investigation it was found that she was lying.  She claimed that the abuse happened in the classroom, but this teacher was a bit standoffish and never touched anyone. Other students told the investigator that the girl was lying and later the girl confessed that she wanted to get him in trouble because she was getting bad grades in his classroom.  End result? The teacher could not continue in the school with that cloud hanging over him and eventually moved to another school.

All teachers need to make sure that they are not hugging the children or are alone with children.  Do not trust two or more girls coming to you as a group.  Make sure another staff person is with you to backup your story so meet with them in the staff lounge or even the school library. Finally, as parents make sure you tell your children that only high-fives and fist-bumps are acceptable and that the children should always go in a group to meet a teacher and if their friends have a crush on a teacher  they should avoid the friend.  Teach them not to  backup their friend's story if they make up any untruth.    [/quote]
