Sometimes, Teachers Behave "Inappropriately"

This would be one of those times:
A former Utah high school math teacher was arrested Friday on charges of raping a 17-year-old female student, Fox13Now.com reports.

Courtney Jarrell, 22, who also coached the Riverton High School girls' basketball team, resigned shortly after she was charged by prosecutors.

Jarrell appeared to be well-liked at the school. She now, however, faces two felony charges of object rape and forcible sexual abuse for a non-consensual sexual encounter that allegedly occurred at the teacher's residence.
One of the first rules for being a long-term teacher is "don't rape the students."  Probably next on the list is "don't have sex with the students."

Yes.

I think this might be a good rule for most (all?) of the staff, including substitute teachers. Does your school have a suggestion box? :-)

How about, "Don't have students at your house?"
