At least this time it wasn’t a social studies teacher. Chesapeake police arrested Ashley Kristen Samaniego, 23, a Norfolk Academy basketball coach, on the allegation that she had sex with a female student aged 17. Story here.
Remember when school was the safest place your kids could be?

What is Bearing Drift?
Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken. Most navigational rules say to avoid collision, turn to starboard -- the right!

Get your BD gear from CafePress:
Her orientation couldn’t have been much of a secret. Came up with this (http://www.unionoflove.com/reg-04001.html) on a simple Google search of her name. Then again, assuming the truth of the reports and given the character of that site, couldn’t have been much of a “commitment,” either.
Now that’s just disgusting. I remember growing up when, yes, school was the safest place. Back when I was in elementary school, the big taboo was cursing and in middle school, it was “chew gum in class, get detention”. Nothing compared to today.
One more reason to homeschool your children.
One question: have teacher’s unions caught on and have the unions started seeking language to protect teachers caught in the act?
Duck,
I have no problem with you home schooling your children. That is long as your home schooled children can still pass the Standards of Learning tests. Good luck.
Generally homeschooled children outperform those in public schools. I may be a little biased here, but I believe my children are among those who do.
Mom is a very smart and organized woman. It’s hard for any teacher to best her since no teacher can match the 1-on-1 time, and no teacher could be more motivated to see my children excel.
Wait a minute, did I say, “no teacher can match the 1-on-1 time?” Poor choice of words considering this thread.
She was only recruiting “talent” for the Lady Monarchs.
I agree that home schooled children might benefit from the experience. There are drawbacks (as far as I am concerned) due to the lessening of exposure to the playground and lack of developement of social skills.
However even this drawback can be overcome by the dedication of the home schooling parents.
However, not every parent that demands the right of home schooling will be up to the task. I demand that home schooled children must pass the Standards of Learning tests to continue to be home schooled. Children who are well home schooled will pass with flying colors. Children who’s home schooling parents were not up to the task will have to go back to public school or something.
LD-
No one is more against poorly schooled homeschooled children than myself and my fellow homeschoolers.
Don’t worry about socialization. Negative socialization at public schools–including sexual abuse–is something to worry more about than lack of socialization.
Involved parents–which most homeschool parents are–are the best socializers of children around. I am betting my children’s future on this. And I am normally not a gambler.
This is truly sicken. When parents send thier children to school they believe that teachers are their teach their children as well as protect them, not have sex with them. School use to be one of the safest place but you can’t even trust teachers anymore. When I was a student in school my teachers were caring and from a different generation. Now you have teachers that are basically the same age as the students and I see that as a major problem. If I was paying for my child to recieve private education I would expect quality for that school. It is a shame that children are not safe in private nor public school. I guess home school may has it’s advantages and disadvantages but it seems to be the safest now days.
Duck,
I think we are pretty much in agreement on this issue. I absolutely support home schooling as long as the home schooled kids can pass the same tests to measure progress the public school kids have to pass. I (and I understand you) do not want to see “my kids are home schooled” becoming a reason for not schooling your kids at all. Or for attempting to home school your kids and failing miserably.
Home schooling can be a wonderful experience. We just need to keep the home schooling parents accountable. Their kids need to measure up just like the rest of our kids.
This is actually kind of hilarious for me because I used to go to that school two years ago and I hated it. I was surprised at who the girl was though. The teacher was new this year so I don’t know anything about her. I can’t believe that someone can be stupid enough to do that with their student…
