The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
A Nashville teacher was arrested for allegedly forging an inappropriate relationship with a student outside of school.
The arrest report from the Metro Nashville Police Department states that Glencliff High School English teacher Andrew Cook, 40, was accused of sharing personal details with a student, including problems with his marriage and a lack of sexual activity.
The report also alleges that Cook was aware of the student’s drug use, as well as alleged sexual abuse that had occurred, and failed to appropriately respond. Cook reportedly condoned her use of narcotics.
According to police, Cook gained the trust of the student, who thought she had developed feelings for him. When she confided in him that she had been sexually abused twice between the ages of 15 and 16, Cook allegedly responded to her via text, saying, “These things happen, when you turn 18 years old it will not even matter.”
Despite the fact that the student said the most recent abuse happened only a few months prior, Cook, who as an educator is a mandated reporter, failed to report that to the proper authorities.
The student attempted to take her own life on the day that Cook was interviewed by police.
Before questioning Cook, law enforcement first met with the school principal to ask about the relationship between Cook and the student. The principal stated that it is “not standard operations for teachers and students to text outside of the classroom” and mentioned that he had previously discussed the need for Cook to set boundaries with students on several occasions.
Cook was charged with failing to report to law enforcement and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was arrested on August 9 with a $10,000 bond.

The rise of female sex predators is concerning……..they were a rare group but now, this story of female teachers having sexual relationships with student’s is becoming common! Can’t they have a “normal relationship” with someone their own age or are they the mental rejects no normal man would put up with? The poor kids these days are getting abused in every possible way I can think of…..no education that helps them to be responsible, smart adults, being told that you can change your sex, teachers having sex with students….IT’S CRIMINAL! These kids will all be a bunch of screwed up morons that can’t survive unless they have their “safe spaces & therapy animals” and lots of pharmaceuticals to keep them quiet and compliant. We are DOOMED if this is now the norm for kids….but ya know what is the most disappointing of all??? The amount of parents who just don’t give a damn or are too afraid to say, “Enough of destroying our children!!!!” I never thought I would see such indifference.
Perhaps I am mistaken( correct me if I am) but it seems he was trying to help. No touching, no feeling just talking.
Me to all over again.
