I didn't think there was anything to it. But I wanted them to know immediately. Students will ask me for rides home. I would love to give students rides home. But at the same time, if I were to do that, not only do I jeopardize their safety but my safety as well.
Teachers learn quickly they have to throw up barriers.
If students appear to be hanging around too much, the teacher must send them on their way. Male teachers never want to find themselves in a classroom alone with a female student, for example. Teacher Davis catches two student-body presidential candidates engaged in a sex act. Davis confronts the students, who deny any wrongdoing by saying even former President Clinton said what they were doing wasn't sex. Like it or not, new teachers find they must be monitors of morality.
