I stumbled upon this at CNN.com. This article is about exactly what the title says, "Teacher-student sex 'never the kid's fault." Need I say more? What is interesting is that the teacher turned herself in.
Disgusting if you ask me. Who is the adult here? If someone is having illegal sexual thoughts, it sure would be nice for them to take the initiative and seek professional help. Or talk to their spouse about it. Maybe spice things up with the spouse?
As the article stated, this type of thing is more prevalent with male teachers than with females teachers, it is just the media that puts the female teachers in the spot light.
Is it really the teachers fault? I for one think so. On the other side of things, kids today are very sexual; they act and dress like it too. Who is to say that the under age student involved wasn't consenting. He maybe wanted to. And obviously did. On more than one occasion. What gives a 33 year old the right to play or give into the pleasures and emotion of this act even if the feeling was mutual? ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!! The teacher is supposed to be the adult! Holy crap!
Calming down, breathe. I think that the only reason the teacher turned herself in is because someone else found out and was going to smear her and her family in the media. Could it be that her husband found out and him being a man of uniform gave her an ultimatum to turn herself in? Who knows, it is still very very wrong and disturbing.

The adult should always make the mature decision. SHOULD. But we all know this does not always happen. Some people, when tempted, cannot come up with the strength to say no. There are probably many reasons for this. Selfishness, pride, ego, adrenaline, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think it is terrible unfair of the media to always concentrate on the women who end up having sex with their students. It is just an extension of saying the girls are the sluts but the guys are just guys. Totally duplicitous.
Children are very sexual in this day and time. In addition, in this age of broken homes and missing parents, they are eager to have the attention of an adult. Being sexual is one way to attract that attention. In addition, our children are being sexualized in a way that make them want to behave in this way. As a consequence, they are then SEEN this way. I truly believe this is one reason that we see sexual crimes rising. We sexualize our children, then we throw a fit because people see them as sexual. But that's a whole 'nother subject...
