According to the Sulphur Daily News, Heather Daughdrill initiated the relationship in June and it continued until a complaint was filed in October. After her arrest on November 29, police told the paper that Daughdrill would pick her victim up from school without his parents' knowledge and subject him to sexual encounters. Louisiana cops also reportedly found sexually explicit texts between Daughdrill and her victim.

Maybe our resident teachers will comment, but covid changed everything here.
Kids, that want to, have had near constant contact with their teachers through their school apps and iPads here ever since. If a kid messages a teacher while doing homework many of them expect a response, and get it, within the hour. For many, remote learning simply broke a barrier that is very difficult to put back up unless teachers or the school board put up a strict no contact outside of hours policy.
Our local school board is having discussions about this now in preparation for dialing it back another notch for next year. On top of the obvious issues it can lead to, teachers shouldn't be expected to answer questions all evening and kids shouldn't be expecting them to either. [Reply]

Huh?
The only mention of 13 was how much time she got. The student was a senior. [Reply]

I get that it was 10 years ago, but at one point teachers were not allowed to be part of any Facebook Friends, Instagram buddies or in group chats with students....if you were caught doing it there were disciplinary steps that eventually led to dismissal.
And yet, in my daughters school at least 2 teachers were arrested for having relations with a student. So we can't necessarily blame it on the remote learning, COVID or social media.
It was probably occurring more than we knew even back then, it's just everyone now reports it, when back then it was hushed up and quietly dealt with. [Reply]

Just graduated the class of 2024 last night. This is the class that spent the spring of 2020 (and some of the fall) locked down at home. The valedictorian spoke briefly about students having to interact with each other and the teacher through "screens". The last four years have been a real challenge getting the academic standards back up but the social-emotional maturity suffered big time. It's getting better.
IMO, nope, nope, and nope on increasing potential for student/teacher relationships. Boundaries are blinking neon signs and have been for the last 20 years (especially if you're a dude). Hanky-Panky and Hot for Teacher going to happen without the effects of a pandemic.
We are required to use mediated communication with students ala Remind (text), Parents Square (email). Hey, there are some problems... I've seen coaches, stuco sponsors, extracurricular clubs, etc., and any group with activities use their own phone numbers to quickly communicate stuff like "practice is canceled" and " the bus picks up behind the activity center". This scares the sheet out of me enough to pine for the days without phones and instant messaging. [Reply]
