Teens and Their Teachers

http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&tab=m138&vid=cddbe8ac-eb0c-43ac-9cfb-c4458c29ec20&playlist=videoByTag:mk:us:sd:1:sf:Title:ns:VC_Supplier:tag:Msnbc:vs:0&gt1=10450

In the above web post their is an interesting article about teens and high school students. It seems that high school teachers getting involved with their students is becoming more common and that most cases are "never reported". In some cases that are reported the teacher doesn't even get punished. It may be thought that it mostly happens with male students and female teachers but it was found that 90% of these cases involve male teachers and female students. Not only is this a growing problem but if the teacher is fired or quits the school district they could always go to another school district where they could do something like that again. There is no system that documents these problems. These teachers are even sent to elementary schools in the hope that they don't do it again. It was even said that principles should get more training to see these actiions in their co-workers but its not like you can just tell what the person does just by the way they behave. What do you think about this issue, and whats the best way for it to be solved?
