Jail should be the minimum punishment.

Of course it should be. I don’t understand why it isn’t. Anyone who has authority over our children should not be able to misuse that trust. I knew teachers in my high school who we all knew were fooling around with the senior girls. One even married the girl after she graduated. However I do not understand this thing good looking young women in their 20’s have for young teen males. Thats disturbing. As for men who go after little girls I would toss them in general prison population. All of them need jail & there should be a way to make certain they no longer can ever teach or be around children IMHO.

The very first thing schools should do is start treating these as cases of workplace harrassment. First you have the imbalance of power between the teacher and student. Also, teachers who do this are creating a hostile work environemnt for the other teachers and students.
It's time for the schools to mandate training on proper workplace behaviors, just as what would happen in a business.

Mandatory sentencing almost always bites you in the rear. A fairly recent case here concerned a 23 year old teacher and her 19 year old student. Unethical? Absolutely. A crime in Texas? Absolutely. A crime worthy of hard time? Not hardly. She’ll never teach again and that’s sufficient. Luckily there was no mandatory sentencing in place to negate the glaringly obvious mitigating factor of their relative ages.

We’re not paying taxes so lowlife “teachers” can use our children as unpaid whores.

Ummmm...it seems to me that if we stopped sexualizing teenagers in our schools, the teachers would be less likely to attempt this and the students would be more inclined to resist and report it.
As long as the school nurse keeps handing out condoms giving the tacit approval for students to have sex, the propriety of whom they have sex with is merely an academic issue...apparently in the most literal of senses.

Okay, folks. A little sanity here.
If the student had reached the age of consent in the state in question, at the time the sex took place, the teacher should be fired and have their certification lifted: it’s a matter of abuse of a position of authority and not a criminal matter.
If the student was not age of consent, it’s statory rape, which last I checked carried a jail sentence.
Creating a new class of crimes applying only to school teachers is absurd.

Agreed. Maybe there could be a focus on the sexual harrassment issues involved. Yes a student / teacher relationship is analogous to a workplace, as the teacher has the power over the student.

Creating a new class of crimes applying only to school teachers is absurd.Maybe not just teachers, but all adults in a position of authority over minors.

“Creating a new class of crimes applying only to school teachers is absurd”
Really?
Teachers (the foot soldiers of the NEA) have created many new “classes of crimes” applying only to public school students.
Why would they want to exempt themselves from a "zero tolerance policy" that actually seems perfectly logical?

Men teachers for sure!!! Woman teachers it depends on what the guy’s situation is. /weak sarc. I just keep thinking back in high school and the hottest teacher who all the guys wanted (English Teacher junior year) and what we would do if she “offered”. It would have been a fight between the guys to who would win. lol.
To: traumer
That teacher is clearly a christian. What is this, a witch hunt like Salem? This girl clearly does not deserve jail. The liberals are just after her. She is clearly innocent even if she had sex. Dang that was fun spinning!!!!
To: GOPJ
Were not paying taxes so lowlife teachers can use our children as unpaid whores.Actually, you are, and so am I. And there's very little we can do about it, other than keep our own children out of the institution. In that case, we're just paying taxes so school employees can screw other people's children.
