One new article link has been added to our Related News page. WSFA published an article titled Teachers texting students through a safe app.

“I really like the app. It goes out about 6:00 in the evening when everyone is home from practice and everyone is home from work and getting started with their evening activities and then they get the text about homework. Given all the boundary situations, it is good safe way to do things,” said Lisa Crownover, a teacher at Wetumpka High School who also uses the app.

After so many alleged inappropriate relationships, the app serves as a safe haven and eliminates any excuse for a teacher or student to personally contact each other. It conceals phone numbers and those receiving the texts can’t even respond.

As you can read, the Washington-based web site used a slide show of the accused teachers to prove their contention that “Alabama is the teacher-student sex capital of the USA.”
