[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea as to the nature of the touching, so will not comment on that. But I will say that I could tell this was a private from the get-go. Here’s the deal. An adult should have been properly supervising the children. The school messed up because no one was watching the kids. That’s because many private elementary school teachers just aren’t up to scratch. Instead of watching the children, they’re setting them up and then talking about feelings and consequences down the road, while leaving the parents in the dark. I personally would not sue, but you do what feels right to you.

Go public. You will be shocked by how much better it is.

What do you mean by teachers setting them up?[/quote]

I mean the teachers should have a feel for the classroom. As adults, they should be able to grasp who is problematic and who is likely to be bullied. They should monitor the situation and not let any of the kids in second grade out of their sight, especially not the problematic ones and especially not in a smaller, private school setting.

The set up was that instead of doing their jobs, the teachers allowed one kid to follow another kid where they would be alone to engage in some sort of inappropriate touching. The school now wants to turn this into a teachable moment about “consent and healthy boundaries.”

It’s a set up because the teachers aren’t helping the children deal with their issues in age appropriate and responsible ways, within the classroom and on the playground, etc. Instead, they’re letting the sh-t hit the fan and then trying to act like it’s a good lesson in the long run.

If it weren’t most likely going to be expensive and fruitless, I would encourage the OP to sue the school, so that it could be a teachable moment about fiduciary duty and responsibility.

No one knows what happened so the opinions about calling police or suing are say out of line. [/quote]
