chat: Q and A about Texas’ rise of improper relationships between teachers and students |
by AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN - Austin American-Statesman | Pub: 02/14
|
David Thompson, an education professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, along with UTSA doctoral fellow and former human resources
director Catherine Robert joins the American-Statesman at noon Monday for a Facebook Live discussion on the growing problem of improper teacher-student relationships. A Statesman investigation, the first of its kind, found that less than half of Texas teachers
who lost their teaching licenses after allegations of having improper relationships with students were ever criminally charged, let alone saw jail time.

| What
Elizabeth Warren and so many other women can teach us |
by ELAINE AYALA - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 02/13

“Warren persisted, and that’s what all of us have done and need to do,” said Ellen Riojas Clark, a UTSA professor emeritus now out of the workplace.
“But it’s different for us.” Speaking up comes with risk, she says. “A young person has to be very cognizant of how to respond. Be polite, but strong. Have manos de jarro,” a phrase that refers to heavy arms at your side that “can’t be moved.” “You won’t have
the whole world watching” as witnesses, she said. At one point in her career, she sued the UT System, she said. “No one talked to me.” She fought back by looking at people right in the eye and saying, “Good morning,” she said. “Use body language, come from
strength.”
