[quote=Anonymous]I was a middle school teacher who had an all-girls advisory. The girls mentioned to me that boys in the class were being inappropriate. However, they wouldn’t name the boys or be specific about the behavior. They did tell me in what teacher’s classes it tended to be a bigger issue. I was livid. Administration seemed to think that sternly talking to the boys as a group would solve things. What we needed was more attentive observers in some classrooms and real consequences for the perpetrators. One of those boys went on to sexually harass a teacher later; he learned that his behavior got him the social power that he wanted.

The groper kid has groped twice. Given the opportunity, he will do it again, barring a clear consequence (social or disciplinary).

As a teacher, I hope you’ll talk to your principal/head of school. I also hope that you will have a conversation with your child about what you’re sharing and why. Therapists and school counselors often have to have conversations with kids about the fact that some things *do* need to be shared with other adults.[/quote]
