Are more female teachers having sex with boys? Or does it just make for more catchy news?

What kind if wishful thinking? I remember my "cute" female teachers. I thought of them as "good mothers" if they were nice to me. Had they sexualized things, I would have been terrified.

@TheHorse High school boys would have wishful thinking over a pretty teacher.

@JohnRoberts Hmm. I still thought of them as parental transference units.

Look at all the songs about boys being seduced by their teachers (I have two on my school song countdown). Hardly new, probably just a slow news day.

@TheHorse -- I wasn't thinking so much of that one (which is female student in love with male teacher) as something like Elton John's "Teacher I Need You," which is the male student in love with the female teacher.

Don't Stand So Close to Me is actualy pretty cool song. But it's about a handsome male teacher and a female student. Can you send a link?

I don't really know what it is, however it may be a case of who gets caught. The abuse is probably more widespread than we know about and that scares me. People that work with children need to have a higher criteria to live up to than others. Teachers, bus drivers, priests, coaches all should be monitored.

They get finger printed, criminal checked, fancy degrees, etc., but that seems not to be enough.

Actually, we had one here in our local town. In which my friend replied, where were teachers like this when we went to school? He said it not me. Definitely a bit of a double standard in regards to how it is perceived between men and women

I wondered that myself. I also wonder if we hear more about this happening because of social media. It is definitely ore newsworthy for a female teacher and a male student than the other way around. When did we lose our brains?

@HazySue I'm pretty good with animals. But I've never attempted courting one. Well, I do leave some seed for our doves, but I think they'd fly off if I tried anything "frisky."

@TheHorse I don't think it will ge4t as much attention as the school teacher story. Besides, even if you could find and aardvark you would have to convince it to cooperate with you.

Its always been around for both. Its just coming out more now than in the past. I don`t know why but its always happened. When I was in school back in the late 70`s we had a lesbian P.E. teacher that was known to have encounters with the high school girls. Or the Assistant Principle keeping the door closed and "certain" girls in there longer than any others.

@andriaperry I was in school in the sixties. Certain male teachers had a reputation. I did not hear too much about the women teachers, except the one who did not get her contract renewed because she taught us about real things, like human anatomy, rh factor babies and other important things that our parents were not ready for us to learn. Of course I was totally oblivious to most things.

@Asylum That's probably for the best. When I was in school in the '70s, post-hippy "casualness" was the norm, so many teachers "hung out" with their students on the quad after school. I'm sure that's a part of where the rumors started.

I'm sure that male teachers are doing it too, but I guess the female teachers doing it are more on the news. I just don't understand why they're doing it.

If they're teachers, don't they feel a sense of responsibility for the long-term well-being of their students?

I think the media makes sure each and every case gets the maximum press. Then social media takes over and it just seems to balloon. I think I'll go bury my head in the sand again. I tried to be a parent to my children.

Its a news if you are caught. I believe it happens more than reported in the media and even media is way too selective. Recently a teacher accepted that her son was from one of her students. Guess sounds more corrupt than it actually is.
