Drilling in shop class

WTHR - Indianapolis News and Weather - School district: Sixth graders had sex in class:
"'...during school hours in a classroom with an experienced teacher present, two sixth graders completed the act of intercourse...at least ten students were witnesses. No disciplinary actions were taken against the teacher... All teachers were told to keep quiet.'"

The above quote was from a written tip received and investigated by the news staff at Channel 13 News, WTHR (NBC attiliate).

When I was that age, about all we did in shop class was make ashtrays. Well, smoking is out these days and sex is in, so who should be surprised when school officials in Warren Township, near Indianapolis, Indiana, confirmed that illicit sexual activity had taken place in a shop class while the teacher was present.

As bad as this is, there was an incident in a Washington, DC classroom a few years ago involving younger children, more participants and more kids in the classroom at the time. One has to wonder how much of this stuff is going on?

The middle school recommended the students be expelled, but did not report the incident to the Warren Township School Police. The channel's website report of the incident also indicates that schools are not required to report such incidents. Hard to understand in an age where we expect teachers, as well as healthcare providers and other responsible adults to report suspicions of child abuse including sex acts committed on persons not old enough to consent.
