If she's being charged with a crime, then so should those young men.
Would you think that way if it was a man charged with sleeping with female students?

For some reason when a female teacher abuses her relationship with her students, we mostly think "She's trash", but it it was a male teacher, we would definately think that coercion was involved. Americans have weird views of sex.
If they were all 18+ (some of the students in this story were 19), who the hell cares?

It's not like females aren't aggressive. It's the same both ways. Girls would talk about having sex with the male teachers in high school...just like the guys would do to the female teachers. As long as everyone involved is 18+, who cares?

Yea, maybe the schools should actually encourage the teachers to have sex with students (as long as they are 18). I mean, there will probably be some teaching going on, right?

No one here said it was right. Quit looking for things that aren't there.

He never said he condones teachers sleeping with students, but the fact these idiots are well above age. The consequences for the teacher are rather extreme.

He said "who cares". So "it is there". I can tell you that I WOULD CARE if a teacher had slept with either of my kids when they were 18. And so would any parent in their right mind.

Are there high school boys posting on this thread or something???

I said "who cares?" because all parties involved are 18+. I'm not saying all adult students should have sex with a teacher, but if they do (like in this case) who cares. All are of age, no one was raped, it was done in privacy, and all of them were OF AGE. Yeah, it is inappropriate to have sex with your teacher, just like it is your boss, etc. People will always assume favoritism, but teachers make their own favorites anyway. They don't need sex for that.

nope, just people in touch with reality.

stop being a helicopter parent. if your kids are 18 they are adults and can do whatever they want and there is NOTHING you can do about it..

Sorry. Didn't mean to imply that there are high school kids posting here. Much younger apparently.
