Teacher threesome scandal

[Alceste]

There is nothing rational about your personal insults, which have no place in this discussion.

You are embarrassing yourself -- quite honestly to my surprise. I thought that I had seen you around the forum for years, perfectly able to hold to a topic and interact with it while utterly failing to do so here.

What personal insults? You said yourself that you are having trouble getting past the fact that in your imagination, this is really hot. I am encouraging you to try to get past that and consider the ethical implications and the consequences of an organization tolerating intimate teacher-student relationships. Which is how it would appear if they only gave such teachers a reprimand and let them keep teaching.

To be honest, they were all consenting, and I understand that. I suppose the main problem I have is how this could have potentially affected the student's grades. I have a feeling that this student could easily have asked for his grades to be upped just a little, and they would have obliged, which really isn't fair to the students who actually work hard for the grades they earn. Perhaps it's a bit far-fetched, but I'm just throwing that out there.

Well heck, girls and women have been using sex to get better grades and job promotions for years. It's nice to see that our sexually enlightened, equal opportunity society is finally working, and boys and men are now able to do this as well.

Missed me coming and going.

Well, this applies to both the male and female attractively challenged.

Where there's smoke, there's fire, am I right?

In this particular case you may be right, but I don't think so. The problem is that not having objective boundaries leaves our most vulnerable children at the mercy of the most ruthless sexual predators.

Maturity is not an objective standard. Obviously the boy wasn't mature enough for this or there wouldn't be a problem.

I'm pretty free will on most things but strictly against this. It's so hard to measure a person's maturity to suggest one is capable of handling sexual relationships. I just side with caution on the matter. Children are so easily persuaded, it's simply not fair to for an adult to start a relationship with one. Teenagers extremely want to feel accepted so this to me is the most vulnerable years. I think there's little harm in waiting versus extreme harm in not waiting.

[Edited:] Yes, frankly, I would have loved it if this happened to me and I'll just have to deal with it in my later years. Yes, yes, call me out but this act can be damaging. There was a recent case where the teenager "fell in love" with the man and moved out to live with him. I believe she stopped school. The guy had a wife and kids. He basically left the family. Well, the relationship ended over time like most relationships.

Are we joking or not? Can't tell with all the seriousness that goes around here.

 

[Father Heathen]

Indeed, as it should.

How so?

I suspect that your characterization of them as "full-grown adults" is somewhat of an overestimation.

Being a teacher is a position that should require a significant level of intelligence, maturity, professionalism, and ethics.

Silly, simple strumpets with bad judgement and bad taste are not ideal candidates.

I'm in favor of imposing strict limits on this type of activity. For instance, no sex until the homework is done and done right. I know, that's draconian. But some of us just have to be old-fashioned enough to demand standards.

For most it would be a harsh punishment, not reward.

1) i'm sure the student in question considers himself quite lucky. I wonder, does he regret bragging about it because of the consequences the other two now face?
2) I feel the teachers were in the wrong. If it really was so important for the three to have sex, I feel they should have waited till he had left school. Age of consent here is only a minor point, I feel. The issue is more that the two were in a position of authority, and they must have been aware of the possible consequences. Had the three met on a dating website or something, I would not take issue.
3) teachers should really treat all their charges equally. Clearly this is unfair on all the other students...


Ok, that last one might be a joke

Should being the operative word.

Sadly, becoming a teacher is one of the easier jobs to obtain, and with more silly strumpets entering the workforce, they've gotta work somewhere.

If we legalized strumpetry, then perhaps strumpets would gravitate to a their more natural profession, eh?

I'm all for de-stigmatizing strumpetry. I think everyone should have the freedom and opportunity to pursue whatever line of work suits them best, without judgment or shame.

Hello everyone!!

Wow, I just read through this entire thread. Good read.

Angellous...you would be wise to start listening to Alceste. She has spoken with great wisdom in this discussion.
