Summary: On August 25, a Monday morning, 59-year-old Dugan Walker was arrested for having an improper relationship with a student. This was a surprising accusation as Walker was a loved educator and softball coach. "We're crazy about him. He was a great coach," says Chelsea Christian, a mother of a sophomore softball player,"We were shocked. My daughter is shocked. All the kids are shocked." Walker is the sixth teacher accused of having inappropriate relations with a student in the Dallas area within the last couple of weeks. Two teachers at Melissa High School, one teacher at Arlington ISD, and two teachers at Belware Elementary School for having inappropriate relationships with the students.
Analysis: This is completely, irrevocably wrong. First off, I still do not understand why grown men feel the need to have inappropriate relationships with the students. Some of them even have wives and a family at home, and yet they still choose to commit such an awful crime. Second of all, I cannot believe that some of the students, the ones in high school at least, gave consent to the inappropriate relationships as well. The teachers aren't being accused of rape, but "inappropriate relations". This leads me to believe that the students had some part in the crime as well. The government and school district need to invest more time and money so we can all feel safer at our school. Maybe we can get more video cameras and security guards to watch them. Or maybe actually look in to the teachers criminal records before hiring them. This crime is way too serious to be taken lightly. All of these crimes can relate back to another incident that took place in Florida on January 2- as a young boy wrote his number on the board in hopes of getting a girl that he liked to call him. Little did he know, he was to be contacted by the teacher and the two of them were then involved in a sexual relationship. This crime is ridiculous and we need to do something about it. Now.

Such a terrible crime! i just can't bring myself to understand why things like these happen even a little bit! I don't understand why someone would go through all of the time and effort to get and education that allows them to teach, just so they can throw it away in a snap along with their lives! Of course I also don't understand what's going through their minds that make them think that acts like these are okay and can go unfounded.
