Case: Repeated Infractions with Little Consequences A high school student has been sent to the office and in-school detention (ISD) multiple times for making sexual noises, hand-gestures, and comments during class. This has been addressed with the student's mother, administrators, the counselor, and the school social worker. The other day, this same student was caught exposing the complete right side of his rear-end to two female students at the beginning of class as everyone was filing in. He had his pants and underwear pulled down completely on the right side. The teacher immediately sent the student to the office for indecent exposure, and the student walked away with only 2 days of in-school suspension. The teacher does not feel that the infractions are receiving the appropriate consequences, and the student's behavior continues to worsen. What should the teacher do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would talk to the administrator that is making the decisions about the consequences for this student. Maybe there is something you don't know that may influence the situation. I would tell the administrator that you are feeling unsupported by their response and would like to know their thinking behind their decision. I would also express my concern about what may happen to the school if this behavior goes unchecked. It seems to me this could be grounds for a lawsuit if the parents of the other students do not feel like the problem is being addressed. If you do not get a satisfactory response I would speak to the principal or assistant superintendent if the principal has already been notified. If the teacher is also being exposed to this, I would think it would be grounds for filing sexual harassment charges by the teacher. |
