Lets install fear in our kids about sex, but heck lets show them how violence is a ok, its fine for violence to be everywhere but make sure you dont show billy how to have safe sex, or enjoyable sex.
Yes, it's OK for Billy to sit on his Xbox several hours a day shooting and killing people, driving like a madman and being chased by the Police! But it's bad to have wonderful sex with a beautiful woman????

Why?
I never get that argument about sex? It makes no sense? Perhaps I love my wife very much, and she is a great wife, and a great mother, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but our sex drives and tastes are incompatible. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year, a fling keeps me happy and healthy, and she never knows, and I am the best husband, father, and provider that anyone could ask for. Maybe I support her emotionally, and physically to her tastes and needs, and the relationship is perfect.
Why would I give all of that up?
And why would she give all of that up over an occasional one-night stand?
I just don't get it. My wife and I are very open with one another, and this could never happen, but in a conventional relationship, I still don't get the idea that leaving one another is the appropriate thing to do over an infidelity when everything else in the relationship is good?edit on 19-5-2011 by getreadyalready because: (no reason given)

Wow I so love the double standards on this site. If the roles were reversed and the teacher male, even if the student said it was consentual, every one of you would want the teacher castrated, sent to prison for life, hung, shot, and made to be on a nazi list.

HaHa! No, but I empathize. The difference is that he had a "relationship" and a child. That is cheating. That is sharing your resources, and your love and time and emotion. That is wrong. HItting the clubs one night a month and having a one-night stand is not taking anything away from your regular family. I would personally be very hurt if I found out my wife had a long term relationship with someone on the side, but I wouldn't care if she had an occasional physical romp.
Here is how I see the whole illogical circle. We get jealous, because we don't want to lose someone. We stress over it, and we worry that if something happens we will lose them. The pressure and stress creates issues, and the couple needs a little space to counter that pressure. The space leads to a fling, the fling leads to regret, regret leads to someone trying to make amends and being an even better spouse. The jealous one, so worried about losing something, now drives it away intentionally over the fling?
How the hell does that make any sense? You don't want to lose them, so you create friction that leads to infidelity that leads to an apologetic and improved spouse, yet you throw them out anyway? In order to not lose them you leave them? I will never get it.
Of course, this is only valid for relationships that are otherwise good. A whole lot of the time, infidelity is just one more problem in an already doomed relationship, and it is perfectly logical to scrap the whole thing.

I agree pretty much. But i think the decision should be up to the child on whether to pursue charges or not; Clearly the child was bragging so we already know the answer to that one.
Just have her removed from her job and all is solved.
Peace.
Geez this dude isn't a "child" he is a dang teenager with raging hormones and apparently willing! I'd give him a high five. People forget that people in our basest form are just animals doing what animals do... on the discovery channel lol. If it was non consentual then thats bad but if he was into it then is see no foul. It may be against the ethics code of being a professional teacher but not a moral "code". Remember folks morality is dictated by time and culture.

If the boy doesn't feel like he was a victim why should anyone else? This stuff is given almost the attention of a mass murderer on the loose. What's the point, to put it indelicately are going to screw. It's a nature fact of life. Sure, the teacher should be punished for breaking the rules but I see no victim here. Except, perhaps, her husband.
