They Arrested Another Oklahoma Teacher For Lewd Acts Against Children…

Middle-school teacher who would tap them on the butt with a yard stick or lanyard and make lewd remarks. The charges for incidents from 2012-2017. This brings back junior high memories of an older math teacher who would stand in the doorway of his classroom holding a yardstick during class changes and watch for girls walking down the hallway and start tapping them on the butt with the yardstick. The cheerleader types would giggle and scurry off. He did it to me one time in 9th grade (I usually tried to walk on the other side of the hall) and I stopped, took the yardstick out of his hand, and looked him in the eye and said “Don’t you ever do that again!” And he never did. I am not blaming the students in this teacher’s case because he shouldn’t have done what he did, but did even one of them speak up that to that teacher? We should be teaching our children to be assertive when such things happen the first time.

@Adrift This teacher had been in WWII and he would tell stories of being stationed in the Phillipines and other places in class. Interesting stories. And he patronized all the girls and was mean to the boys. One boy was sitting quietly listening to him speak and his pencil rolled off his desk and that teacher chewed him out for making noise. A girl could probably lift her leg & fart and he would laugh about it. I couldn’t stand the cold way he treated the boys and got transferred to the math class across the hall.
