[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article, about a writer and former teacher/groomer, very much matched the experience my kid had with a predator teacher  -- biggest difference is the guy in this article apparently waited until the kids were the age of consent.

But the rest of it feels so familiar: the guy's vision of himself as the one who understood these kids and would change their lives. The way he behaved more like a friend than an authority figure, getting involved with kids' personal lives. Becoming emotional in front of them. All the little jokes and comments that were just over the line. The compliments about outfits. The different ways he found to get the kids to open up very personal details about their lives with him. Standing just a little too close. Getting mad at kids who didn't play his weird little games.

The article so accurately illustrates how pedophiles operate with middle and HS 
students. They often start with assignments or conversations that should be illegal. Any “concern” a teacher has about a troubled kid, must be referred out to a school counselor unless the parent gives explicit permission.

While my kids were at McLean High School, they got alarming questions pertaining to the private lives of us, the parents. My friends with kids at Langley said the same thing.

School staff initiating conversations with students about friendships or intimate relations is a huge red flag. Parents who find the time to stay engaged with their kids about daily happenings (inc. homework) have a better view of the red flags. Don’t let a “confidant” teacher replace you, the parent.
