Sexual Abuse in Public Schools

Teachers' Responsibilities Pertaining to Your Child's Development

When a child reaches the age where he or she can begin to attend school, teachers and other professionals in the educational field will become an active part of a child's life. When your child spends countless hours under the care and direction of a teacher, that educator can have a significant role in the shaping of your child's worldview. A major portion of a child's development can be attributed to teachers, instructors, or other educators, such as coaches, mentors, and tutors.

One of the most important relationships involving trust is the relationship between an adult and child. Children develop under the direction and special care of an adult. When an adult - specifically, a teacher, other instructor, or person of authority - breaches this relationship of trust, the emotional and psychological damages that a child can endure can be painful and, in most cases, irreversible.
