What residents are saying about today’s issues

Why are there so many cases of sexual interactions between teachers and students?

ADAM POCHE

Thibodaux

I think this has gone on for years, honestly. I just think the kids have a greater confidence to speak out now because of social media.

ERNEST MORVANT

Houma

I’m not sure what to attribute it to, but it’s sad. It used to be that school was the safest place for a kid to be. Now it’s not.

MONICA GUIDRY

Houma

I think kids are more confident now than ever before. We treat them like adults more than ever, so they act like adults, when they still are not.

LYNN GROS

Houma

Shame on those teachers. I place the blame on them. A child is a child. You can convince a child to do anything with enough work. The teachers need to know better.

JACOB COLLINS

Thibodaux

I think it’s just the culture we live in. Sex used to be something special, between two people who were in love, but now it’s not that way.

DANI WILLIAMS

Houma

I blame the teachers and the school system. They should do a better job of making sure they hire the right people with the right values.
