[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shipley was not only the Crew Coach, he was a teacher at Whitman. Why was he a teacher after the original accusations?[/quote]

Can you not just read the thread?[/quote]

You are an a$$. Yes I read the thread. Crew is not an MCPS sport. It’s a club team. If girls reported him to the Crew Board, was he reported to the Principal? If  so, why was he teaching up to this school year?[/quote]

Well you are very rude. All this is covered in the thread so maybe you should read it again, but S.L.O.W.L.Y[/quote]

Nothing in this thread explains why the Board of Education is pro-sexual predators.[/quote]

If you had read everything you'd know that the early complaints, were not of a sexual nature - they were about his favoritism and pitting rowers against each other in a nasty way. The sexual complaints appeared later, he was immediately suspended and investigations took place.

if you had actually read the thread, this would be known to you.[/quote]

Favoritism and pitting students against each other are violations of the MCPS Code of Conduct. That’s harmful behavior designed to isolate and groom a child. 
Had MCPS dug a little deeper, the texting and other grooming behaviors would have probably come to light. Predators don’t just wake up one day with the intent to have sex with a high school student. They are planning for a long time to earn parental and student trust. Protecting students means catching the grooming behaviors before the sex act happens. A red flag for MCPS was the original behavior reported but MCPS routinely doesn’t enforce the Code of Conduct to send a message such grooming behaviors won’t be tolerated.[/quote]
Pitting students against each other is the basis of competitive sports. How it's done matters.[/quote]

Pitting teammates against one another is not a healthy dynamic for an athletic team. In this example, it was a way to isolate his targets for abuse.  Isolation then favoritism is a grooming pattern.[/quote]
