Right – the adult-in-responsibility is the one who is supposed to know better and has a duty to be the one who says whoa, no kid, this is a no go. Heck, nowadays the laws in most states specifically define teacher-student sex as a particular case of the offense.
Still, yeah, 17 y/o me would’ve hit that fast and furious and seen it as proof of Og’s existence and benevolence.
So, I’m guessing no one here wants to see the much larger set of photos put together by the heavy from her facebook photos. I just don’t have anything to add to the thread really.

Please don’t tell this to my wife.
That link is just amazing.

She also offered “after-school tutoring to help struggling students improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.”
McAuliffe also worked to “develop alternate enrichment activities and modifications in student programs to increase student understanding.”

I didn’t want to take anything away from the conversation with all these extra factors, but when I saw that pussy spread eagled in one of those pics, my calculus was that it was completely SDMB appropriate.

She knows already.

The absolute worst thing she’s done is drink Busch beer! She should be jailed for that alone!
This settles one thing conclusively, not all math nerds are smart. :smack:
The elderly couple was sitting to breakfast, when suddenly the wife smacked her husband across the face and yelled “That’s for being so lousy in bed!”. The husband dithered, stunned then smacked her back, yelling “That’s for knowing the difference!”.
Well, as a math teacher, she knows that 15 goes into 25 with quite a bit left over.
I think there’s a difference between someone who happens to have a relationship with a single post-pubescent student and someone who is having sex with a bunch of them. The first suggests a loss of control, possibly at an opportune moment, possibly with someone they are falling for despite the age difference. The second suggests a real problem, and should be dealt with. They know it’s illegal, but can’t stop themselves from doing it multiple times with multiple people.
I have a cousin who did the former. She was having sexual problems in her marriage, and this 18-year-old student was just there at the right time. That doesn’t bother me nearly as much as these that make the news with their own harem of guys. You can’t blame that on a moment of weakness.

The problems lie further down the road. No cites handy, but ISTR that what limited studies there are have shown essentially that having sex when you’re underage with the sort of adult who has sex with people who are underage carries a high risk of messing up your ability to form healthy relationships in the future. Even if you’re male.
But why let facts get in the way of puerile fantasy?
Y’know, I can see another risk with mantaining appropriate boundaries when you have 16-17 y/o students with 24-25 y/o rookie teachers, and some may fall into a trap of generational identification ignoring that they are teachers, not buddies. A teacher needs to be inculcated with, and have the sort of temperament that appreciates, understanding and respect for the notions of hierarchy and of power/knowledge imbalance.
Quite so, if your initial relationships are not normal but you thought you were hitting the jackpot (being an idiot yout’), this can lead to a distorted expectation of how things are supposed to work. Which is why “the adult in the room” is responsible for not going along with it.
Then again… you may grow up to marry her and be elected President of France
(But like becoming an NFL starter or a Platinum-selling rapper, you should not count on that…)
I’m sure the boys will turn out fine. Well, more or less. Show me a person who doesn’t have some whacked-out relationship experience somewhere in their lives. And, frankly, they probably would have turned out a lot *more *fine it the teacher hadn’t been busted, sacked, arrested and publicly ridiculed. Not that’s on their conscience. Now it’s massive drama. I don’t think the current approach is doing the so-called “victims” any favors, at all.
But, obviously, the reason to crack down on this sort of thing is that if everyone and anyone was allowed to do it, it would be a huge clusterfuck. Literally.
so basically, you see nothing wrong with this because it’s something you wish would have happened to you in high school.
Got it.
What? You see something wrong with it because you think the boys are traumatized for life by this horrible case of sexual assault? Then why is this case so hilarious? Why the laughter instead of outrage?
The teacher is basically guilty of terminal stupidity. Sometimes you actually get sacked and go to jail for that, I get it. But you think the kids need therapy? Do you think they feel violated? I bet a therapist will need to explain to them in great length why they should feel bad, before explaining that they shouldn’t feel bad.
Would my life have been worse if I had bonked a 25 year old teacher in high school? No! Would it have been worse if she ended up in jail? Yes! I would have felt guilty about that forever.
I find most guys (always guys) mis-remember and over-romanticize their own adolescence.
I said that minors can’t make rational decisions about sex. Some things are more complicated than others, and minors can make rational decisions about many simple things. Sex is complicated.
And even at that, we can, should, and do place greater restrictions on minors driving than we do on adults. You can’t even get a license at all until 16. Insurance is more expensive for minors than for adults. Many states have laws against minors driving with other minors in the car, except possibly for relatives, and so on.
On another note, some posters have mentioned that having a teacher so close in age to the students is problematic even without the sexual element. I’m inclined to agree. One of my high school teachers was fresh out of college, and to make matters worse, he was a late bloomer. Many of my classmates were physiologically more mature than he was. I don’t think any of us were sexually attracted to him, and I certainly never heard of any misconduct on his part, but it still made it harder for us to respect him as a teacher. Getting respect from high schoolers is hard enough as it is; anything that makes it harder is probably unwise.
