If a boy is raped, this is a different story. This boy consented to it. Believe it or not, the age of reason is around 7 or 8 years old. I'm not advocating for that at all, but I am saying that maybe 15 or 16 can be the age of consent for males.

Why just males? It is a generally excepted fact that girls mature faster then boys. What should be the female age of consent be? 14 or 15?

You can't have it both ways.

That 24 year old teacher is a product of our current K-12 education where having sex is no big deal.
I'm not asking for it both ways.

If two 12 year olds are having sex, using protection is just common sense, knowing why they need it and how to use it is as important as providing it, not much point in giving someone a condom if they put it on their left foot thinking they're wearing protection, or they do not understand the consequences. Not providing the tools necessary to avoid the consequences will not prevent the participants from experimenting if they don't know any better.

If a 16 year old is getting it on with their 32 year old teacher, then it's an entirely different situation both from age and authority.

My personal opinion is under 14 then consent cannot be given

14-18 consent can only be given to persons up to two years older than the younger (so maximum 16 for a 14 year old, and maximum 19 for a 17 year old).

18+ consent can be given to any age.

As far as the 24 year old teacher, clearly she's a moron if she does not understand the minimum age of consent, and that sexual relations between teachers and students is strictly verboten, and I could not care less that she is a product of anything, it's written down in statute and code of conduct, I expect that as a teacher she can read regardless of whether or not she chooses to be a cart ponygirl (or anything else) in her spare time.

It's definitely a double standard & its appalling.
I met my husband when I was 16.
He was 29....
Looking back I realize I was still a kid in so many ways....
Although I enjoyed the sex immensely (and all of his experience, lol)
We were not matched up in the maturity department....
(and I was always way more mature than others my own age)

This kid- even if he enjoyed it- is still a kid.

Men seem to get the book thrown at them way harder than women
when it comes down to this & thats disturbing.

You are absolutely 100,000% correct, but that's how society views this. Its a big pat on the back and an atta boy for the male student, and the female student is a "victim" who had her innocence "stolen" from her by a predator. This is one of the most blatant examples of a double standard in our society, yet time and time again we give the female teachers a pass. Their punishments are not nearly as harsh as their male counterparts.

It's more than the age difference, the adult/minor sex laws. This also involves adults in a position of authority over minors having sex with the minors. If these two teachers were men and the student was a girl then the two adult male teachers would be thrown to the wolves. As adults, authority figures, college degree, and workplace training all show that these two teachers should have known better. While some states make 16 legal age of consent, there's usually exceptions made in the law when it involves an adult in a position of authority over the minor. The reason is predators work to put themselves in such positions of authority to gain trust and access to these minors and manipulate them.

Well maybe K-12 sex education needs to do more .
