I had a rough childhood growing up and I was bullied all throughout my school years. Unlike Kip, I didn't act out but was rather the quiet loner who was usually overlooked by all the adults around me. Never seen and never heard. When I entered 6th grade, we got a new art teacher. She was a younger hippy-type woman and loved by everyone. She was the first adult in my life who actually saw me and would regularly approach me just to be my friend and listen to me. I'm not sure if she ever realized what a huge difference she made in my life just by being there for me when I was overlooked or ignored by every other adult in my life. I credit her for helping me through a lot of rough times. Unfortunately, she was forced to move to a different school after my school decided that art and other creative subjects weren't important enough to teach and we lost contact as a result. There have been many times where I wish that I could have reached out to her again, if nothing else than to thank her for seeing me when nobody else did. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find her since. Teachers like these are incredibly important for kids that struggle like me or Kip. And even for kids that don't. Unfortunately, they are very rare and far between, and I guess there is also the risk of them getting caught in a scandal like this simply for caring. Malice, unfortunately, isn't exclusive to adults. I guess it is fair to say that there is always a risk for even the best of intentions to get viewed in the wrong light and for a teacher such as this to fall victim to a lie and have their life destroyed as a result. But speaking as one of these lonely and broken kids myself, I really wish that there were more teachers like this in the world who isn't afraid to reach out. I don't think they will ever comprehend what a huge difference it does in our lives. We might not ever tell you that it does (at least not while we're still kids), but it definitely does. It's been more than 20 years since I last saw my teacher, but even writing this comment and remembering what she did for me still brings tears to my eyes. I doubt that you do, but Rachel, if you're reading this; Thank You.

I love how her husband is defending her honor.

This woman was a true angel when she was teaching these kids. She let her emotions be involved which is what a GREAT teacher WOULD do. Nowadays it is true to form that the teachers nowadays teaching students, the majority of them don't really care what the kids are going through within themselves because of problems at home or problems in general that come along with being a young teenager. They're caught between child and adulthood and most of the time it is very very very hard for teens and pre-teens during this time in their lives. I had a teacher that helped guide me to the straight path because I was turning into a wild teenager and she helped keep me grounded. I still think of her from time to time because she was my favorite teacher that I had ever had in my whole entire life. She taught English and her name was Ms. Duncan.

@@tammiepage6489 sweetie there has been plenty of cases here lately where in preschools and kindergarten and first grade teachers are mistreating the kids in the school got this on camera. I understand that people go through things and it disrupts their life and can affect their job. I knows that very well. I have quite a few teachers in my family. I also know for a fact that some teachers are there just for the paycheck when I was in school, I had some really "Not so nice" teachers. But in any of my classrooms, if any of the kids would need help on something they didn't understand or needed help with, I would always go over and help them. Because like I said, some teachers don't care if you pass to the next grade or not. They're just there to get a paycheck. I don't remember where this happened but it was on the news here recently about a few teachers in the classrooms of children that have learning disabilities, the teachers was saying they would punch him in the face, the teachers would not let them have a snack when the other kids got one, she would hold up her snack and would look at the student that she said could not have a snack, she would hold up her snack and shake it and say na na na na na you don't get a snack today na na na na na!!! And then she would laugh. All three teachers that were assigned to that class was mean to all of those children. They would call the children stupid, they would smack them upside of the head and told one of the little boys that she should punch him in his face because he's so stupid. They had all of this on video. They had been investigating that school for a while because the children that went to that school was coming home with bruises almost every day in a different spot. This world has gone slap mad!!! Lol. I am almost 53 years old and my whole time through school, I had quite a few teachers that hated their job and took it out on the kids and some of the teachers were just mean to be mean. I feel my teachers, you could tell that they did not like kids and was there for the paychecks. I was a waitress all my life. Waffle House was the main one because my mom was one of the first waitresses to help open the doors on the first day of the very first waffle House ever built. So I grew up my whole life around Waffle House so I followed in my Mama's footsteps. Lol. I used to get to go to work with her and I would do her side work so that when it was her time to clock out and go home, all of her side work would be finished. Then we could just leave. I have had a few good teachers and my kids were lucky to only have had one or two teachers out of all of their teachers throughout the years in school that they did not like because the teachers were mean to all the kids. Thank you for your reply. 😇

Had one teacher, Mrs. Diguilio, who encouraged me in art though I was a science major. Later one nun would volunteer me in school activities rather than let me always study for perfect grades. Both of them, along with my incredible mom, gave me the best gift, knowing and developing myself to help others with obstacles. I'm very grateful to them.

He was adopted and got a hard time from his adopted parents, so he was vulnerable and insecure and when the teacher paid him some attention he got hooked on her. As for the friends, they talked down to him and made him feel inferior. Poor kid! Thanks for uploading.

That's what she did !

Having been a teacher for a very short time and later in life having been accused of a sex crime against children I had never seen or heard of by a stranger (which it later turned out was not really an accusation at all), I do however understand exactly what it is like once the machine gets rolling. In my case, I did nothing even questionable--I never so much as heard of or seen any of the people involved in the "accusation," which the accuser would admit. Thankfully, the jury saw the truth. One has to fight for a trial in this country so most weak cases end in plea deals. After being accused, I decided that no one was going to accuse me of a sex crime without me in turn fighting back. One risks everything in going to trial and not taking a plea, especially when that plea is one that allows the arrest to be expunged without having to even give a plea and the case marked as an outright dismissal. For me, it would have been a far worse sentence than years in jail if I took a plea for a crime I did not commit. I said no to every offer and I wasn't about to let them mark the case as a dismissal when that would have been a lie. I told them, you dismiss these charges against me straight out, or we go to trial. I cried when I heard the not-guilty verdict in this film and I wept when I heard it at my own trial. Today, if one is accused of a sex crime, being innocent does not matter to most in the criminal justice system, except it can matter to the jury with some luck. My jury could not understand why they were there, they weren't the only ones. No one could quite say what it was I was accused of. The charges were against children, no contact alleged, and no one claimed I even saw or knew these people. It was like out of Kafka novel. Fortunately I was a wealthy enough man to pay the high bail and hire a lawyer. My attorney couldn't have done worse however the case was so absurd, in the end, it was difficult to lose. But still, it was terrifying. One never gets over a false accusation. It's been several years, and not a minute goes by that I don't in some way think about it The case against me was public too although by the time of the trial the media lost interest so I contacted them after I was aquitted and they reported on it. I have since filed a civil suit against the parties involved which is still pending in US District Court. I hope to return to this page once I have won and give details.

If we had more Teachers like that the LifeTime Movie Network would be making unlimited movies for us to watch but guys I think Didnt Commit suicide its possible somebody in the Family murdered him or it was somebody on the Football team I say this because look remember how the players mocked him and teased him by taking Girls underwear from him and tried to play Keep away from him I believe maybe Kips Mother bribed some people to lie for them in court we dont know the full story there maybe things that went on that Kip knew but he was killed so he wouldnt be able to talk

Justice have been served!! That poor lady went through hell but glad that the people saw the reality in what was really going on and not listen to teen gossip

I used to work in the school system as a substitute teacher and as a teacher's aide and this is the reason why I never wanted to work with the older school-age children. There was always a threat of things being misconstrued or someone lying about you and not only costing you your job, but sometimes, your freedom! They're too many ways to hurt someone and I did not need to deal with that.

Darling, with what kids are exposed to nowadays .. beware of them too. I just told a sister here of a French teacher who was accused of molesting a 8 years old female student and it was her who created the lie turning his life and his teenage son to living hell only to later come clean confessing to her mom that none of what she claimed was true and that she liked and missed her favorite teacher who wasn't allowed to be anywhere near her. I think she liked the idea of spreading about what she heard on tv of issues like child abuse or she probably seen her parents do things in front of her and imagined her teacher doing them with her. The poor guy was super kind and especially to girls respecting their gender and taught boys how to treat them and respect them but I guess that education brought harm on him.

I feel very sorry for her because she didn't deserve the lie going around about her and I am very happy when the truth came out and she was telling the truth. Her only mistake was being to helpful to that damn boy ! I would have sued for defamation of character! Exactly. Kids are stupid, ego-driven, and immature. They don’t think about the consequences of their stories and boasts. This is why teachers should not socialize with students outside of school. You never know what lies people might tell. All teachers should always be careful and professional it is one of the problems with being a teacher.

She was a teacher who cared but there was still no reason to go out to dinner with her students, or to meet them at night over weekends. She probably felt neglected by her husband and felt needed by her students, but definitely overstepped the boundaries big time. It is also very confusing for students when the teacher wants to be your friend so much. Easy to see how they can misinterpret her actions.

Look what happened to a teacher who actually cared and did so much for her students. What a shame! Those parents should be ashamed of themselves and should have noticed their kid was having a rough time.

I can kind of relate to this movie . I was a young teacher my first year in 1972 . The oldest of my high school students were 18. We wore mini skirts and couldn’t even write on the chalk board. I guess I am very lucky that none of this happened to us young teachers. None of us back then even considered being with our students. My kids were wonderful and I still see them today 40 years later and Yea a lot of them had crushes on us. I remember I wore some slacks one day and had little animals you could see on my underwater through them. We all just laughed and I never wore them again. I certainly would never have gone anywhere after hours with students ...that was one over the line thing. I would never sit on the front of my desk in my mini skirt with students present in class.Her second over the line thing.... never let yourself be involved with kids who tease that age with sexual innuendos. Her third over the line ... but those were very naive on her part as a young teacher. We were all naive at that age and I see here how luck we must have been now after watching this. She’s a lovely little teacher. Never think that some students due to the influence of their parents can be pathological liars and ruin others lives if not worse! 😳 I still love all my kids I taught and in my 30 years there must have been over 1000’s of them and they are still so respectful of me and all of us who were young and teachers back then wore the the modern styles, then bell bottoms and mini skirts were in style. Those were wonderful times for me and this movie which looks much like the 70’s and much of today’s things happening make me thankful that nothing like this happened to any of us teachers in my 30 + year’s even though we were young and wore very pretty sexy things too. 🤷‍♀️🙏

Sometimes we need to be tough... not emotional. So technically she's not guilty. But emotionally she was. Kip was a weak character. Personal involvement by a teacher should have been minimal. When we were kids some where along the way we would have had crushes on teachers...but we grew out of it. Kip didn't. It's good Paulette stopped teaching. Just saying..

It amazes me how people will not admit to their own mistakes, learn from them and grow. We now live in a world full of people who cannot admit their failures and play the blame game, only injuring themselves and others. Honest, caring and upright people are indeed very rare

it's really funny how we seem to be living in one world yet when you move out of your box you thank God so much, because there are so many different worlds there. In a world where I come from, teachers do more than teaching, counseling children, helping them in so many different ways, mostly children who comes from poor families, broken, and orphans. its rare to hear a teacher having sex with children, sometimes we need to trust our children and teachers, to me it seems this boy was a lost sheep, adopted, not very clever in all subjects, being compared with his brother who was smart and a true biological son. We live in a cruel world and sometimes our children cannot handle the pressure. Good movie

I think we all need to just learn the meaning of respecting our teachers again. Little House on the Prairie is a good example of how the kindness of teachers towards students actually pays off in the end. Too bad we have all become so wonkish, indifferent, impersonal and cynical. So many nowadays get left behind because of this lack of kindness from teachers which is also missing in the home because of rich overachieving parents and poor workaholic parents. Just listen to Paulette's lawyer's closing statements before the final verdict was reached.

When he opened it, I popped out, but to my horror his girlfriend (a fellow teacher) was also there. I pretended that I was just fooling with them and only wanted him to know how appreciated he was (yeah sure) sputter sputter. Good lord, it's lucky that I had the whole summer to think about it, really not knowing the consequences of my silly, teenaged actions .. but the following year he was no longer teaching there.
