thats not that many tbh
180, 360 annualized per yr/ 50m public school students per year = 0.00072%. annualized # is not quite right since kids are usually out of school 2-3mos / yr
I bet it's way higher in private schools and home schools where there is no reports mechanism, especially since most kids are abused by family members
Your numbers and logic are way off.
180 is the number of educators arrested. Why are you dividing that number by the number of students?
According to the article, 9.6% of students in grades 8 - 11 reported being the victim of sexual misconduct at the hands of an educator.
Grades 8 - 11 represent roughly 4/13 or 31% of the student population (4 years out of 13 years counting k-12). That would represent about 15m students, out of which roughly 1.5m have reported being the victim of sexual misconduct by an educator.
That's just looking at grades 8-11. It certainly doesn't mean k-7 and seniors are any safer.
if each teacher abused 1 kid it's correct. But double or triple or quadruple the rate and it's still tiny.
