Last week, quite out of the blue, I received a disturbing story from an unfortunate teacher who had suffered two years of sexual harrassment at HCT.

I have posted her story here:

No specific names are mentioned, so I think it meets the requirements of Dave's policy of anonymity.

How can she claim that they are corrupt and compromised when she seemingly never bothered to try to fight the 2 year problem, but just let it carry on?

I would still have left - likely a year before she did, but his ... would have been slammed in the door on my way out.

    MOD EDIT

    Where's your evidence?

    BTW, why do you list your occupation as 'Teacher's Shadow'?

    Well, I have, of course, no idea as to whether the situation was as described.

    But it seems to me that if it were, and the lady suffered it for two years, that wouldn't necessarily mean that the HCT management involved weren't corrupt and compromised, too.

    I keep thinking about wives who endure years, even decades, of spousal abuse. Their remaining with the abuser for so long doesn't mean they weren't being abused.

    Regards,
    John

    Two edits for inappropriate postings, insults and contentious. If they continue, there will be sanctions.

    Read before posting:

    EDIT: Suede Oasis is no longer with us. Apparently, among other things, he chose not to read the link above before posting.

    Bad move.
