[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former Whitman student who had Shipley as a AP Euro teacher many years ago (early 2000’s) I can assure you that staff, administration, and parents had some sense that he was a predator. Even at 16, my friends and I knew he was too comfortable around his students and his presence was unlike any other staff member at WWHS.  People ignored what was directly in front of them; too much paperwork for admin, staff members not wanting to make assumptions about colleagues by throwing them under the bus, and parents being so blind by grades that of course this happened. None of it is surprising since most of this community lives in a bubble. Guarantee he wasn’t the only staff member who took advantage of students. It was a different era back then and staff got away with a lot…thank god things will finally change.[/quote]

If he wasn’t the only staff member, what makes you think things will change? Students are afraid to report. Adults don’t react to protect students when there are red flags in regards to a staff member’s behavior. Predators operate for decades in MCPS because MCPS doesn’t enforce the employee code of conduct.[/quote]
