A North Carolina teacher has been arrested and accused of having sexual activity with a teen student.
Kayla Sprinkles, 26, was arrested on June 7 after a grand jury handed down a five-count felony indictment on charges of sexual activity with a student. PEOPLE confirmed the charges with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office told ABC 11 that the investigation began “on or about March 26” after authorities got a tip that Sprinkles had allegedly engaged in sex acts with a student while she worked as a teacher in the Cherokee County School System.
It's so odd that it seems like female teachers are doing this with male students rather than the reverse. I'm sure the opposite happens, but why don't we hear about it?
They talk about copycat shootings, but I really think this is what is more so copycatted.
Did this just not happen when I was a kid or was it swept under the rug back then?
I think it happened, it's just that for a lot of them, the students were 16 or 17 (or older) and nobody really thought of 16 and 17yo students as "kids" 20 or 30 years ago like they do now.
Plus... no social media.

Females use social media more than males in most cases.

Oh, that's an easy answer. The media runs on ad revenue which means ratings.
Male teacher doing this is not salacious unless something crazy happens like the student kills his wife etc.
Attractive young female teacher though is a solid ratings\click attractor and so you get to hear about it.
This is a common occurrence and in a lot of people it creates what is called "Perception bias" which slants our views of reality by skewing how frequent or widespread occurrences are.
This can impact our views of everything from the risk of shark attack to more politically oriented categories.
Two glaring examples around here are threads about illegals committing crimes and white people acting racist. Both types of threads pushing a mindset anchored in perception bias....and you'll find these in the media as well.
