It's hard to check the news without seeing yet another student-teacher sex scandal in Texas.

Unfortunately, the phenomenon isn't just another media craze, it's an issue that even has Texas education officials concerned.

In 2014, the Texas Education Agency noted that the number of investigations opened in order to look into inappropriate relationships had jumped from 141 in 2009-2010, to 179 in 2013-2014, a 27 percent increase.

The news release that announced the increase pointed the finger at social media, explaining that "over recent years, electronic communication (such as cell phone, text messaging, email, instant messaging, blogging, or other social network communication) has provided a private method to contact students during and after school hours."

In 2016, that number reached 222 cases, a growing trend which prompted the TEA to ask for $400,000 from the state in order to handle and investigate more cases, reported the Star Telegram.

Recently, the Austin American-Statesman examined these numbers more closely and found that between January 2010 and December 2016, 686 teachers in Texas lost their teaching license due to allegations of impropriety with a student, according to information they acquired from the TEA.

In the Houston-area's ten largest school districts, roughly 60 teachers lost their licence following impropriety with a student.
