You can't say "in America," then talk about your city. States have very different laws.

However, nowhere in the country is the age of consent higher than 18. It's 16 in most places.
I'm pretty positive teacher-student sexual relationships are restricted to ages 18 and up unilaterally. Texas apparently bans them altogether.

Of course I know that, it doesn't change people from saying that 18, 19 or 20 year olds are children, boys, girls etc. Hell, when I went to get my ID the woman told me to get my mom or dad. It's ridiculous. And it's not just my city/state, Alcohol is of course limited to 21, now smoking already in several states and cities, what's next?

That's not a limit on what age you can smoke.

It's a limit on what age you can buy tobacco.

There is a difference. You can be eighteen and smoke and not get in trouble. You just can't purchase it. The same can't be said for alcohol.

Read the article I just linked you.

23 and 18....

I mean I get that she is in an advantageous position but the age is not what makes this upsetting

The advantageous position is why it's illegal in Texas for a teacher and a high school student to engage in a relationship, regardless of the ages of the individuals.

Aww, I met my wife when I was 18 and she was 23. I guess it's good that she wasn't my teacher?
Yes.

I don't understand why some of you are so upset by this. Yes, their ages are fine but she was a teacher and he was a student. That's all there is to it. All they had to do was wait a couple of months for him to graduate and this would not have been an issue.
The most amazing part of this story to me isn't the relationship itself (he was legal) but that it started in HER FIRST YEAR working there. How little self control do you have that, after pushing yourself through grad school to get a teaching degree, you immediately ruin your career within your first year at your first job?

I know everyone's initial reaction is going to be "niceee...", I was thinking it too, but this just goes to show that some people can't be trusted with even a little bit of authority.
I hadn't thought of this but you're right. Pretty pathetic.

How many of you thought this was a guy having sex with a girl student when you just read the thread title?

I defiantly felt more disgusted when i just read the title, and that means... damn I have double standards...

i felt more disgusted because I thought the kid would be a minor to some significant degree, also I thought the teacher might be older.
 
I guess bands a make her dance.

This is ridiculous. Like any 18 year old man/boy isn't going to mess around with any willing female. At that age all we think about is sex. She should be fired and that's all.
We're saying the teacher should of had self control :/

I agree which is why you fire her. Firing someone for that basically ends her career as a teacher. That's a HUGE penalty for someone. Criminal charges in a mutually consensual relationship even if it's teacher student is too much imho. Being a teacher has little to do with it besides increased access to young people.

I believe guys at that age just do what they can to have sex. Teacher or not. In other words I don't believe being his teacher gave her any additional power over the 18 year old that any other female wouldn't have had.

Although they aren't that far apart in age and the kid is 18, it is morally wrong because she's his teacher. She's supposed to be helping him get an education, not giving him blowjobs.

Why wait till graduation? They could have just gone to a motel or boned in the backseat of her car or some shit, instead of in school. Though i guess a night of sex with a hot teacher would make for a good graduation present.

Its the teacher/student relationship that got them in trouble, had they waited then no one would have given a shit. That said they shouldn't have done anything on school grounds.

Photo for you GAFers using your imagination. Also is that a wedding ring? Ooo.. so kinky.

not bad.....

I have no problem with this. At least she didn't blow a-minor.

uh... how is he supposed to learn what he likes and doesn't? duh!
 
I don't know what's a band teacher is she an actual teacher with authority over students? if shes just a casual "advisor" kind of thing I don't see anything wrong with that.

I actually knew a guy who had a similar situation play out (Mrs. Robinson situation with a teacher/family friend- wasn't his teacher though, so no charges.) He felt like absolute dogshit about it due to the fallout from it.

“Teachers, they get into this profession because they want to help kids — they want to help them learn,” Brawner told KHOU News 11. “How are you going to do that when you damage them emotionally?”

Oh come on. I agree with the first part, and she certainly should be fired. But the guy was 18 years old, I highly doubt there was some kind of emotional abuse scenario going on, he probably didn't need any coercion.

If that kind of scenario was going on than that's terrible but if there's no proof or I missed something in the article I don't know why you'd jump to that conclusion.

A 23 year old with an 18 year old, consider me outraged.
 
While it is wrong of her to have sex with a student, if that student is 18 then isn't it totally legal and why the hell should anyone care if a 18 year old and 23 year old are having sex?

Ages are fine, but it was at school between a teacher and a student during school hours which is illegal and doing something illegal has legal ramifications. Simple as that. You could argue that it shouldn't be illegal, but I personally don't think it is too much of parents and tax payers to ask for the teachers not fuck their children at school.

No sympathy for her. I'm sure she could have found someone to have sex that wouldn't have led to her losing her job and possibly worse.
