John, I think you made a mistake, here. You said:
ReplyDeleteNOTE: I made the correction, here, based on the fact that I actually read the referenced study. ..."This analysis (Shakeshaft, 2003)
indicates that 9.6 percent of all students in grades 8 to 11 report
contact and/or noncontact educator sexual misconduct that was unwanted."
Many reports--like Walsh's--have run with that number alone. They have
not gone on to note (what appears three sentences later, in the same
paragraph) that "Of students who experienced any kind of sexual
misconduct in schools, 21 percent were targets of educators, while the remaining 79 percent were targets of other students" (emphases added; JAH). Multiply 9.6% by 21 percent and you wind up with 2.016%.
However, the quote you give says 9.6% report EDUCATOR sexual misconduct, The second quote says that of those who experienced any kind of sexual misconduct, 21% were the targets of educators. I would read those 2 statistics as 9.6% experienced educator misconduct, and far, far more experienced sexual misconduct from other sources. If I'm right, there would be just under 10% who experienced educator sexual misconduct, and that number is only 1/5 of the total number who experienced sexual misconduct at all. The total number of students in grades 8-11 who experienced some type of sexual misconduct by somebody would be closer to 50%!
