I believe this is more of an occurrence and becoming more regularly exposed because of the lower standards set now to become a teacher.  Not in all cases but with qualifications being lowered in most schools to fill spots as they are now taking anybody with pulses just like most of the work force, will we see this more as mentally sick people are getting access to kids.  Problem has always existed but social media access and a social IQ drop maybe has accelerated the sickness

This post is so true.  It might be time we: re-institute accountability and discipline in schools; actually treat teachers as professionals equivalent to nurses and doctors; place cameras in all classrooms; and forbid teachers and school officials to use any form of social media to communicate with students.  If teaching was valued as a profession, more high quality, talented people would seek the positions.  With that being said- bad actors make their way into all walks of life and professions.  As a society, we need to realize people that those who abuse kids are NOT REDEEMABLE.  Rehabilitation and registering as a sex offender is poor punishment compared to the damage of sexually, emotionally, and psychologically damaging a young person for life.  Why don’t we execute these people in our town squares?

My daughter accuses me of being a liberal.  My best friend accuses me of being a narrow minded conservative.  I see myself as being a moderate, leaning toward the conservative side.  In any event, I have often wondered about what you say in this post, that I have bolded.
