Oh, I believe it is REAL and that there are in FACT some teachers out there that do a disservice to the school system......absolutely.
And those teachers should be shame, fired, and charged if they commit illegal activities.
In my 42 years of teaching, I had one teacher that was said to be seducing his female track/cross country athletes. It was never proven, and the girls involved denied any such activity, even though many of us believe it happened.
Other than that, I believe that there are MANY right wing public education haters that continue to claim that things like this happen on a daily basis at every public school.
Yes, I despise this kind of talk, because it is simply not true, but it is SO POPULAR to jump on that fake talk and run down ALL public school teachers.
