    Rape. It was rape. Call it what it is. The longer we tiptoe around teachers having sex with kids, the longer the problem will exist. She raped a kid.

      I think that part of this narrative gets fucked because there is a fairly large segment of reporters that fantasized about getting with their cute youngish teacher back when they were in school.

      This is not to say that this is ok. It isn’t. This is SA, CSA, really. And even if the teacher were teaching/seducing 18 year olds on a college campus it would still be a gross misuse of power.

      One who wants a one sided deal that she snd she alone controls. There’s never a shortage or men who look for other women, but then these kind of people should adapt to an actual relationship.

    I don’t get this. Not even high school girls find high school boys attractive. How could a grown woman? And what’s with the language, the word is raped or sexually abused/assaulted, 16 year old here is assumed unable to consent to sex with any adult.

      Because pedophilia still exists.

      And a 16 year old boy will say yes to pretty much anything sexual, hence why this woman exploited a minor nah, not sugar coating. This woman used a position of authority to rape a child.

        Also. The teacher profession is all but dead in America. A lot of people that would be bad for students get weeded out through years of education and training. Most school districts are luck if they have more than 50% of their teachers educated/trained. The rest are individuals who could pass a background check. Poor areas, are under 30%. Just because someone can pass a background check doesn’t mean they should be around minors. But schools have no other option.

          Heh, I applied for a substitute position a little while ago.

          Called back. I’m a MMJ patient, and only have a high school diploma, and no teaching skills or experience.

          They were fine with that. Obviously, don’t bring drugs on campus, but if its just residual in my system its fine with them.

            My degree is in physical education K-12. When I graduate I didn’t go right into education. When I told one of my professors she cried full on tears. That’s how bad it is.

            I returned to education ~3 years. It’s scary. And I’m in a “wealthy” state. Our school’s are hanging on by a thread even with record low enrollments due to people not having children. (the only schools that were thriving were the ones with massive migrant populations.)

              I spent a year working at an elementary school, in an IT capacity.

              I was at a fairly wealthy district, but Texas “Robin Hood Laws” distributed a lot of their taxable wealth to poorer districts and such.

              That being said, all the kids that went there for the most part had rich parents.

              So the stay at home moms always organized fund raisers. Bake sales, that kinda crap.

              And the rich kids, or any parents who stopped in, bought treats.

              I mean, it worked… but not without a lot of disposable income at home.

      I’d like to point out that Mary was 13 and Joseph was 45

      Not even taking into account how old the holy spirit was.
