The Education Wonks
Yet another double-standard. Amazing. If this was a male teacher with female students, you know where he'd be: jail (and I've seen Pinero's "Short Eyes," so I know how they treat child molestors in jail).
And what, is SHE going to wait for the kid to turn 18 and then marry him?
There should be absolutely no double standard when it comes to stautory rape.
I fear it goes back to the standard in our society that boys having sex early is a sign of manhood. "No real harm done," seems to be the reaction to this sort of predatory behavior.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for this freak that she has to register for the rest of her life? That's no punishment.
Any 25 year old who finds a 14 year old attractive is sick or nuts.
If this was a male teacher with female students...
Mr. Lawrence, imagine if this was a male teacher with male students.
We spend our lives with the understanding that our every action teaches the students something. This action by the courts definitely sends a message, and it won't be lost on students and teachers.
No harm done, the kid will brag about this for the rest of his life.
I wish I had a teacher like her when I was 14!
You're sure right about the double standard. With so many cases like this coming to light, perhaps it is an indication that society is moving toward a change, and I sincerely hope it is. Any woman who did that to my son better pray she goes to jail so I don't get to her.
DISPICABLE!!!
This is the first time that I've been to this weblog... It must have been started not-too-long ago (then again, maybe not, since I've been out-of-the-loop, on and off, for awhile). I am glad to see another blog focusing on educational issues, from a conservative perspective.
I came here from the pertinent blog entry, on this topic, by 'Interested Participant.' That entry is quite informative... It shows that this is not an isolated incident, and the problem of light punishments for major offenses such as this seems to be a serious one.
Hi Aakash. We've been around for a 1 year, 3mos. As for Conservative, that all depends on the issue.
For crying out loud....the idea that this young man was traumatized is absurd for one thing.
I was 13,14 once....and seduced by women in their 20's, 30's and 40's,...I had a paper route ( yeah I know, that sounds so cliche') at that age I was already 6 feet tall, built like a locomotive with a sex drive to match....trust me....I was never "molested" or "raped" or "prematurely sexualized" by these wonderful housewives. And the sexual expereinces were the most wonderful I have ever had pretty much. I have nothing but positive fond memories not trauma and dark negative psycological residuals that all the pop psycologists swear you'll end up with.
Thats the perceptive angle from wich I acertain these female sex cases .......so you know....its hard for me to feel threatened in any capacity by their hype and hysteria in the media. I'm simply not burdened with the obvious vulnerabilities of the general public. I see everyones reactions to these female teacher male student cases as humerous and rediculous but maybe,just maybe I need to have more respect for the feelings of others.....not everyone can be me right? Cocky, obnoxious, strong, fearless to a fault, adventurous, free thinker, I have to learn to respect those who are insecure, weak and narrow minded. I'll work on it.
.....as far as the authority figure thing is concerned.....I had teachers totaly mind fuck me in a non sexual fashion that DID traumatize me to the point of suicide practicaly....a few times....but no one noticed, or cared, or put them in jail over it....why?....because it was non sexual. So therefore I guess it was more ok for a teacher to mind rape a student like I was by several of my sick-fuck elementary school teachers. But when sex enters the picture....oh hell.....Katie bar the door....everyones colloquial insecurities come into play and suddenly....its now wrong for a female teacher to "abuse" her position of authority, and all hell breaks loose when she exhibits sexual interest in a young stud who, incedentaly, totaly eats it up like friggin' candy. Hey.....if our society is going to protect kids....then go all the way with it for fuck sake.....don't just focus in on what offends you most.....and let the rest just slide....see my fucking point here?....the irony is so thick you could choke godzilla....The ONLY reason that these female teacher male student sex cases are getting such hype and attention is because of our male dominated societies fascination with the mysterious, unpredictable nature of female sexuality. If our society was really interested in protecting its young instead of eating them, we'd do it..... and we'd do it right....but as a general rule....we are failing miserably.
Pardon my spelling, have a wonderful day, afternoon, evening,.
