:I don't think he was ''equating'' teachers to parents, and I think you should reconsider the reversion, adding "clergy" along with "teacher". Many kids are reluctant or afraid to approach their parent about difficult subjects. If a teacher has earned their trust and is approachable, then kids should be encouraged to seek their counsel ''after encouraging them to talk to their parents first''. As a teacher yourself, wouldn't you want your students to seek your advice instead of their peers if they were reluctant to bring something up with their parents? Who should kids talk turn to when there's abuse at home?
:As for using the "Professor Values" argument as a reason not to, do you really consider the majority of teachers, especially at the pre-college level, to be as morally bankrupt as you make professors out to be? Slamming the values of all educators because of the actions of a miniscule sample of college-level professors is shameful. Some of the greatest role models in my young life were my teachers, and they were represented across the parochial and public schools I had attended. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:33, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
