Kids aren't stupid, and it didn't take girls long to realise that if the teacher's male, all it takes is one "the teacher touched me" story to end a teacher's career.
Whether it happened or not.
Particularly when, these days, coordinating a group to make accusations of the same man at the same time is trivially easy.
You would have to be insane to want to be a teacher these days.
And the truly galling thing is that the administration is fully against them from the very beginning. One of these little shits can run their mouth and instantly no one is on your side and your whole career is destroyed.
I had a gym teacher in 8th grade who almost got fired (potentially arrested) because he made one of the girls in my class run laps and she accused him of touching her. I and pretty much everyone else actually heard her say it was because she didn't want to run laps, so it didn't go anywhere. But if she'd kept it to herself, he'd have been fucked.
Men, particularly, left teaching for a reason.
