A draft report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education concludes
that far too little is known about the prevalence of sexual misconduct by
teachers or other school employees, but estimates that millions of children are 
being
affected by it during their school-age years.

  Written in response to a requirement in the federal No Child Left Behind
Act, the report by a university-based expert on schoolhouse sexual misconduct
concludes that the issue "is woefully understudied" and that solid national 
data
on its prevalence are sorely needed.


Yet despite the limitations of the existing research base, the scope of the
problem appears to far exceed the priest abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic
Church, said Charol Shakeshaft, the Hofstra University scholar who prepared the
report.
