The school won't research a darn thing. It will punish those who are convicted of committing indecent acts with a minor/student. That is it.
Your logic dictates that, because the kids can reach the internet and communicate despite the best efforts of parents, teachers should be banned from communicating with them via Facebook etc.
By that same logic, I should be banned from having a firearm in the same house as a younger cousin or child because we all know how easy it is for them to find keys and open lockboxes or climb up and reach high shelves. Except that we don't: we prosecute the parent for negligence for leaving the firearm where the child could reach it after the fact. We prosecute the teacher for committing indecent acts after the fact.
If a parent doesn't like how close a child and teacher are, let the parent discuss it with the teacher and/or the teacher's superior. Let it be individually handled at the discretion of the parents. A blanket ban is merely an attempt at a kind of pre-crime thinking which I find indescribably dangerous.
Wrong!! My logic dictates that without a law (or rule) on the books to say "We said you can't do this" there is no method of removing a potential predator. Your comparison is nowhere near realistic. It is not an attempt at thought crime, you said it yourself it will not be a pro-active tool. It will be a stop gap measure meant to fire predators that are willing to cross that line for a closer relationship. You are making far to much of this. As a business owner it makes perfect sense to me.
