Yo, doofus
Mar. 26th, 2018 02:29 pmI'm actually talking to you. When I said that "they" could've done this or that* to prevent your middle school teacher from molesting one of your classmates, I didn't mean you could've done this. I meant your school. Obviously, because who the hell refers to somebody as "they" when addressing them!? Putting aside the fact that, you are correct, 12 year olds do not have the power to require their teachers to do anything - you're not the they I'm talking about! If I meant you, I'd've said you.
* Specifically, given the described scenario, they could've pre-emptively had the same rule many schools have today barring teachers from going off-site alone with students. Either you have multiple adults, or you have multiple students, but you don't go on one-on-one excursions off-campus. This won't stop anybody bound and determined to cause harm, but it'll prevent them from hiding so well in the process.
