I do recall some teachers like that when I was teaching HS (who acted like kids, not who had sex with the kids). I was always careful to have a clear line between me (the adult) and the students (not adults). Sometimes it’s tempting when you spend the whole day with teenagers to interact with them as peers, but you lose credibility when you do. We had fun, but I was in charge, and I was not their friend. (And on more than one occasion I told them so). It probably helped that I had already raised 3 boys by the time I started teaching.

You know the old saying, "You can't rape the willing".
“You cant say the same about the opposite situation you posited. The two situations are thus very different.”
You are an idiot. It takes two people to make a baby and two people to support a baby. By your logic a child being raped is only harmed if they get pregnant. No mention the impact this has on kids lives. Schools are for teaching and not to provide adults a target rich sex environment.
“It is NOT the same.”
You’re right, girls tend to mature faster than boys.
she dose have the crazy eyes and her last name ends in a vowel so thats 2 strikes
Oh great. That’s the Saturday morning shot. I might have known.
If you can’t keep it civil, don’t bother posting to me. Are we clear on this?

That’s because of the double-standard.
I agree with Dan. She's not guilty, and as purty as freshly painted valve covers.
Not Guilty.
How about "Bimbo on bail boinks bevy of boys"?
Thrice?
What if she is arrested again? What’s the fancy word for four times?
Agreed.
Just as the fLDS reflect upon the reputation of all Mormons, these predatory educators do the same for all educators.
Intensive sexual harassment training for educators coupled with strict off-campus non-fraternization guidelines are way overdue.
You are right. If she were old and fat they would be calling for her head. Although the amount of trauma these kids endured would directly correlate with the degree of cuteness of the predator I’d say.
“While the not guilty comments are flip, the reality remains that it is unlikely that the young man will get pregnant. You cant say the same about the opposite situation you posited. The two situations are thus very different.”
So, would it be acceptable for a male teacher to have sexual contact with a female student so long as he used contraception or limited it to oral contact?
You raise another important point wrt to pregnancy though. What if the female teacher was to get pregnant by a male student? If anything, it is even worse because he has even less control over what happens to the baby than the female, and will be liable for child support. This has actually happened to at least one male abuse victim that I know of...
She put the Ram in the rama lama ding dong?
This is the Perp - and guys, she's GUILTY as hell.
