[CHRIST!](http://nypost.com/2017/06/12/prep-school-math-teacher-arrested-for-having-sex-with-students/) All of my high skool Math teachers were old, cantankerous, stuffed shirts. How Long, O Lord, How Long? ---

It’s a complex story, so be skeptical. Some components are probably imaginary. ---

Any time a teacher gets involved with a student, it’s a calculated risk. ---

A teacher like that could have been integral to my education. I’d have let her take me to the limit. There’d have been nothing derivative about it. ETA: She coulda taught me all about the integral of e to the x. ---

I’m so divided over this. There are multiple sides to consider. Yes, she has curves. But where do you draw the line? ---

reverse the genders and the teacher would likely already have been castrated by an angry mob. ---

Why is there so much differentiation between a male teacher with underage girls and female teachers with underage boys? Sure many boys had a teacher they wished to bone, but statistically, I am sure many girls had instructors in the prime of their life they found pleasing. Whats the calculus here? ---

There are certainly many factors to take into consideration.

You all make good points. But we need to look at all the angles. Teacher-student love… Is it a sin? Why? Just cos? ---

> [@AK84](#): > > Why is there so much differentiation between a male teacher with underage girls and female teachers with underage boys? Alternatively, you might ask: Why is there so \*little \*differentiation? She got arrested, would have been sacked if she was still in her position, and now her career is in trouble. Same as with a male teacher. It’s not like she got a medal. The rest is just us doofuses on the internet, jerking off to the whole scenario. ---

I once saw, on my company’s network, a collection of “actuary jokes”. The file introduced them as a bunch of jokes “most of which are probably not even funny to actuaries”, but they were OK, on the whole (at least to actuaries :)) I don’t remember much, but I do remember: [ul] [li]Actuaries probably do it.[/li][li]Actuaries do it with frequency and severity.[/li][li]Actuaries do it continuously and discretely.[/li][/ul] etc. etc. ---

You know every time something like this happens, someone will come in and argue that this is rape. That the teen boys are minors and unable to give consent. That this is sexual abuse and is not a laughing matter. And every time something like this happens, I look at the photo of the teacher and if she is hot like this one is my mind goes back to my teenage years and I swear to God I would have given up anything to have had sex with her. No, I wouldn’t be happy if it was my son. Because you see, I’m an adult now. But as a teenager… Note: Anyone else notice in the “hot” picture she is wearing a police shirt?
