[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A teacher walked into the bathroom during the assault, saw the two feet under the door, and walked out, doing nothing. Aces.[/quote]
That teacher will never experience a moment of peace again after knowing what happened to that poor girl.[/quote]

I'm not sure that the kind of person who would walk out and do nothing would have those feelings.[/quote]

Let me provide an alternative viewpoint of why this might’ve happened:

[b]Teacher walks in. Sees two sets of feet in a stall. Surprise surprise, kids are in a stall together. This happens ALL THE TIME. [/b]Am I as the teacher going to intervene and try to get in that stall? No. What I AM going to do is leave and go find admin/school security because it’s their job to deal with those kinds of infractions. Given the interaction BEGAN consensually, the teacher likely had no idea it was going to turn into rape. Nothing may have been occurring at all when she walked in. [b]As much as you might want to believe that students rarely meet in the bathroom to hook up or do drugs, that isn’t true: it’s incredibly common.[/b] She didn’t knowingly walk out on a rape - she walked out to probably go tell admin to deal with two students in the stall doing who knows what.  [/quote]

PP here. I have worked in several different school systems as a special education teacher, school psychologist and administrator for many years -- elementary through high school. What you've described is not happening in well run schools with dedicated professionals. If it's true where you work, then I can see why the public would be highly critical of your school system. And, no, I would NOT just walk out and say nothing.[/quote]
