Sexual harassment in our schools : what parents and teachers need to know to spot it and stop it
Every parent wants to feel that his or her child will have a safe and positive learning environment in school. But increasingly school offers children an unexpected and sometimes devastating experience - as victims of sexual harassment. Parents and educators concerned about this growing problem will welcome a much-needed resource designed to help communities identify and eradicate it. In extensive interviews the authors found that many parents, teachers, and even administrators are not aware of the extent to which sexual harassment permeates the school environment. But surveys show that it is pervasive, with four out of five students reporting that they have been the target of some form of sexual harassment during their school lives. Of those students, one in four report being targeted "often." And surprisingly, much of the problem isn't initiated by adults; it's caused by student-to-student harassment in high school, junior high and middle schools, and even in elementary schools.
