Dear dp1 I don't mean to be unfair with you, but certainly you have got to believe I am dodging your questions. I honestly have been recording what I saw and/or remember. You are speaking about the past more in terms of what seems logical. And I am sure your analysis is correct or close to being as per. I don't recall ever doing research on your questions though such could be done. And the findings I'm sure would be interesting to read. Yes, before WW!! physical boundaries were given. For the most part they allowed very mild touching for positive reinforcements. They could include such things as a tap on the hand or shoulder. I don't recall anything more intimate than that. Now I worked with small class groups in special education. Special education resource rooms included such professionals as speech path, language path, reading teachers, SLD and LLD class teachers. Max class sizes for such teachers was six to ten pupils. It's my hunch these professionals would have more opportunities toward misconduct. If I were an administrator I would want these professionals screened heavily. Teachers of regular classes woujld, I think, have less opportunities toward misconduct. I also tend to want close scrutiny on teachers in the more hidden classrooms such as those in mobile situations. Note that Debra was a reading teacher in such a mobile classroom which is detached from the rest of the school. Were I an administrator I would want heavy surveilance mong teachers of small classes in the more isolated classrooms. That would have included Debra's situation. Now I am talking from logic rather than from experiences. Something tells me you are going to agree with these latter observations. . In short, watch out for teachers of small class sizes in isolated rooms. Yet, it would be very negative discrimination to suspect all such teachers and professionals such as speech paths. In the Bible that kind of negative discrimination is called enmity. Some of the best teachers and other professionals had small class sizes in the more isolated rooms. So, dp1, it is a hard problem. Too much scrutiny will cause some excellent teachers to leave. Not enough watch dogs provide utter lack of safe precautions. Where's the middle? I really don't know. Good teachers usually are extremely sensitive and can be easily hurt. I would tend to be suspicious of the less sensitive, the complacent. Yet I know that also is wrong. I have seen what you might call easy-going teachers who were excellent. I had a hard time with them because I had an unfair bias against them. I myself was not laid back. In my younger days I maintained a high degree of excitement with busy pupil involvement in many kinds of activities which they had to share with other classes. As a young teacher I couldn't sit still. And I couldn't let my pupils sit still. With me they constantly had to be doing something, mostly preparing something to be shared with others. Activity and more activity was my speed. That's the way I was; I couldn't slow down to my wife's chagrin. Age however eventially took its toll. So, now you know more about me, but less about the problem we are trying to discuss. I honestly don't know how to tackle this problem of RSO among teachers. Well, here I am again trying to communicate when an old man should be sleeping.
God loves you, dp1. Love in Christ to you. Pop. (sic-almost wrote my actual name). I don't like code names but understand they are safer. Good night and sleep well.
