we are obligated to be role models as defined in most of our
philosophies of teaching. This website depicts the opposite.
Teachers have used their trust as tools to violate students’
parents’, and the community’s trust.

Impact on Learning
•A frequent problem with sexual abuse is that the child engages in
more sexualized behavior compared to children who are not
sexually abused. Since the abuse took place on and in the body, the
body becomes the enemy.
•They carry a great deal of pain and memories. They desperately try
to cope with the pain which can lead to eating disorders, selfinflicting injuries, inability to have sex, or engaging in sex often, poor
body image, generalized separation from and disregard for one's
body, dissociation, sexual impurity, and gender-identity issues

Stats continued
Shakeshaft (2003) found that 9.6
percent of students in a national
survey reported experiencing educator
sexual abuse (of contact and noncontact types) at some point in their
previous k-12 school years. Data
suggest more female perpetrators
(42.8% compared to 57.2% male)
than is commonly assumed (Educator
Sexual Misconduct, 2004). The same
report also summarizes evidence that
28.3% of this sexual abuse is samesex abuse (15.2% male-male and
13.1% female-female). Further
illuminating the issue of sexual abuse
in schools, the table below
summarizes Shakeshaft's findings of
rates of offense by professional
position.
