[quote=Anonymous]I am marginally suspicious. I know all the stories/profiles. But I feel that at my child's school, he is safe.

My mother was a mentally ill, narcissistic teacher. I would be surprised to hear that she abused students (but unsurprised to hear they thought she was weird/unsettling/racist/unfair). I don't believe she ever abused students. I only know she abused her own kids. I think she went into teaching because 1) it was the feminine career of her era and 2) it gave her access to having power and being adored, if only by children, which are pretty much the only group of people who can be counted upon to adore you, and 3) she had to work. It's possible my child could cross paths with a teacher like my mother, but it would not be abuse, just an odd experience, like my experiences with teachers who didn't care for children.

I think most people who choose to work with children these days are honest to a greater extent than in the past. Anyway, they have security clearances now.
