Reccently, a teacher at my old school was arrested for having affairs with two different students. He is being held on a 100,000$ bond. Now both of these girls were 17 when they dated him (age of consent in my state is 16) so technically the only thing he did wrong was date students. Personally I believe his bond is way to high and that the girls should be put at fault as well. Of course every older person in the community is saying that is was his fault entirely and that seventeen year olds don't know what they are doing.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I was seventeen I knew exactly what I was doing. What I am getting at is this: To what extent can we blame young people? Is a student-teacher relationship ever appropiate? Where? In high school? In college?

I don't consider 10 years a large age difference. Once you're 18 you should date whoever you want.

I believe that the girls knew what they were doing as far as the action but not the consequences of them. I would say that thney knew nothing of the laws and guidlines in which this guy passes as a teacher, but he did brcause the teachers are informed and sin legal documents. I also know hat you are saying about teachers being datable and would it be ok in h.s or college in the eyes of society? I believe that it matters all on the people judging you because every case is taken so differentl.y which can be very unfair. Equal laws should be intact when violation occurs so favortism id not running the legal aspect of it all.
As as a mother I would want to hang him by his balls. Ecspecially if my daughter was 17 and he was in his 30's. I would be sickened because i know the difference in a womans strength and wsdom from being 17 and 30 so i would be irrate he was taking advantage of such a fragile thing. and i would never respect him as an educational guidence to children.

Plus the girl, who he dated, is a whore who flirts ridiculously with older men.

What if someone was really in love though?

Also I think it should be allowed in colleges because that is optional education of the adult world, high school is mandatory education of the teen world.

- I say, hit him where it hurts; money wise. I totally approve and laugh at the punishment. he should have thought of that when he dated the girls.

- See, I had a feeling the girl was a slut. Like I said it depends on that minor's maturity and intentions in the relationship. So, now that I know she is just some slut, she should be punished. Oh, I know! Send her to therapy and maker her talk about her dirty, slutty ways for hours upon slutty. She will be so sick and tired of talking about how she is a slut that she would NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

- I don't know about love though. In most of these stories, the person is in their 30s(+) and the student is younger. And I think one thing a relationship should have is common ground. I don't see what an older person would have in common with someone younger. The only thing I find is the common ground is sex. And don't get me wrong, SEX IS IMPORTANT in a relationship, but shouldn't be the only thing. If it is love, wow. One [arty must be really dumb or the other one must be really smart to have some common ground. In order to make it a deeper relationship that is not just base on sex.

- I don't think it should be allowed in college. I mean, at least wait. It's like walking on thin ice. CHILL!

Haha, what a jerk


I almost won that race, and yes, the teachers were cute then. They are much cuter now. But see, I can say that because I'm no longer a student.

And so the true motives for his failed bid for school board are revealed.

I'm not going to lie, there are some majorly gorgeous teachers out there, and unfortunately, if you're hot and female, you can screw any kid you want and basically get off with it.

But if you're a male and screw a few girl students, the laws are way different.


It's a shame that it's this way, but I also view the teacher-student relationship in a way that it would be better to wait until heck, at least graduation.

It's too risky to pursue something while still in school.

I believe he shouldn't have done it, but to be on a 100,000$ bond, people get that for armed robbery.

If he had had an affair with a student who was 17 or 18 at a different school would there have even been a problem.

I'm just trying to say that a lot of these cases are blanketed together, but they shouldn't be.

Plus the girl, who he dated, is a whore who flirts ridiculously with older men.

When I hear stories like this, I think of it like this.

1. Even if the minor is 17, it really depends on their individual maturity. Some 17 year olds really don't know better.

2. The teacher is a professional. He should only do one thing at a school and that is TEACH. He has an image to uphold and a responsibility. Also, there are other places that he can find women at. Students have lesser responsibilities and images to uphold. They are not professionals at anything. They’re learning to become professionals.

The thing I’m trying to get at is that this teacher is not just a regular adult. This is a professional we‘re talking about. With every career, you have standards that you have to meet and if you do not meet them, you will and need to face the consequences. He failed to uphold his image as a teacher and he needs to face the consequences, whatever that may be. As for the students, I do not and will not excuse them as basically the victims because it really depends on the individual. What I want from them is just to know why they did it and know there immaturity level. Then seek some type of consequence from that. Some are really victims, some are just idiots, and some are bad and need to be punished. It's simple for the teacher, punish him. He failed as a professional teacher and he needs to be punished. It gets harder for the minors though because it really depends on that minor.

As for your last question, if the student-teacher relationship is in high school or college it still goes down to the same thing, responsibilities. It's still a professional. Who needs to look pass emotions and do their job. If they fail to do so, they need to be punished. But, I do think both the student and the teacher need to be punished if it’s a college relationship. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt as a minor and seek consequences from their individual maturity, but after 18, that minor starts to gain responsibilities and an image that they need to uphold. They're basically failing at their duties like the teacher and need to face the consequences. I suggest expelling them.

If it’s just a booty call, you (both the student and the teacher) can find someone else OUSIDE OF SCHOOL. If it’s love, then…
