I say this mainly because as lecherous as he is, he still has authority over you, and can make your classtime truly horrible. He can also talk about you with other teachers, though hopefully they see him for what he really is. He could choose to single you out and truly humiliate you for retribution. If he knows that your parents are willing to take it to the school board and that he’s under investigation/being watched, he’ll have no choice but to keep his pervy little comments to himself.

If you were in college, I would say go for it; 8th grade, let your parents bulldog this thing all the way to the board of ed if they have to. That’s partly why they’re there – to protect you and be your advocate.

In the meantime, keep documentation of what your classtime with him is like (just don’t document it in front of him). Get your friends to do the same, and have them talk with their parents to get involved. The school administration may need your help in getting this guy canned.

*I will say this, not actually knowing you or the real situation – be sure that you’re being honest in what you say. If you go forward with this, and it turns out that you’re exaggerating because you don’t like him for some reason, you stand to ruin a person’s life just to get back at him. Please know I’m not accusing you of this, I don’t think you’re doing this, but felt I should put it out there.*

I don’t believe in getting down on teachers as a whole, but if what you say is correct, this guy has no business being around kids.
