<p>my school's chem. teacher got fired and went to jail for having sex with a minor last week. he's only in his mid twenties (started teaching only three years ago) and it'll take a while till he can come back.</p>
<p>in the past two years three gym teachers (THREE!!!!) got fired for harrassing girls during class, and the one we have now doesn't seem any better (he walks around grinning when we do stretches and stuff). </p>
<p>does this kind of thing happen at your school, or is my school just crack?</p>
<p>god, are all of your schools so innocent and clean?</p>
<p>anyways, that means america's better than what i thought. :p
but then there also are girls who attempt to fire teachers they don't like through this. they report some teachers for stroking their back or something. many good teachers got fired this way...:mad:</p>
<p>there is a high school in the area that i live (not my HS) where a TA who is a 20 yr. old female had sex with a male student (18) so even though he was legal b/c she was his TA she is going to prison...</p>
<p>I don't think that's right, I mean, I don't think she should be going to prison. Anyway, at my school...a senior girl ran off with a teacher over Christmas break. They both left school, she moved in with him and they got married. This guy is rumored to have done stuff with other girls in the past but didn't get in trouble for it. He's divorced with like, 2 kids and has nothing to do with his life. He was still a good teacher, I miss the guy.</p>
<p>Damn, GinPA beat me to that story; but yeah, he (referring to the teacher discussed by GinPA in post #6) was a good teacher. I mean 90% of the time he was a cool guy and a solid instructor...and, well, let's not discuss the other 10, but that was like, what?, once every two or 3 weeks he'd be a little weird?</p>
<p>I assure you that our 75% AP World History test will drop dramatically this year (he only taught until December), and will drop even more the following yr.</p>
<p>yeah our school's kinda bad about this.
right now a 40 yr old male teacher is having a full fledged relationship with an 18 yr old female who graduated last year. They were "dating" during her senior year, but they tried to keep it under wraps . . . all the time people see her car parked at his apt, pretty disgusting.</p>
<p>Last year a male guidance counselor working for like 20+ years got fired and jailed for a while for molesting a kid (I think kindergarden :() He was pretty strange though, always saying to kids to be his "little helpers" and telling them to sit on his lap, kissing them on the head, giving them a "pat on the back" which was really like a pat on the rear. . .</p>
<p>i think our ap english teacher's trying to hold it all down. he stares at cleavages and asses, but never does a thing that can get him fired. he did wrap his arms around my waist and almost grabbed my butt once but soon apologized deeply.</p>
<p>this country is so stupid.It's funny how the kids dont get into trouble for that because 'they dont know any better.' We're talking about 16+ yr old kids here.are you serious?Why is age such a big deal anyway?Who cares if its even 6 years age difference? Its no different from two sixteen year olds having a one night stand.What really sucks is that these teachers are going to jail for YEARS.As if they are a 'threat' to society. Rape is a different case but when two ppl have CONSENSUAL sex-what does it matter?</p>
<p>in response to the post above, because we are talking about national education and we are already miles behind the rest of the world, let alone if we allowed teachers to have relationships with their students. yeah what really sucks about the TA that i was talking about earlier is that they met somewhere away from school...</p>
<p>caa5042,
The law recognizes that some people might not have the full capacity to consent in certian situations. Students might feel pressured by their teachers. Most colleges strongly discourage students from sleeping with profs.</p>

<p>this corroborates what i said about society thinking that teens 'just dont know any better.' They feel 'pressured'? The kid either wants to do it or doesn't(depending on how attractive he/she finds the teacher).Noone is under any pressure to have sex if we are'nt talking about rape.teens have brains. Teachers getting fired-thats understandable.But as far as it being a 'crime'?-dont agree with that at all.</p>
<p>To my knowledge, nothing like that has happened here. I think by the time you're in HS, you can make the decision whether to have sex or not. If it is consensual, its fine IMO.</p>
<p>Hmm. Well we have our fair share of perverted teachers. The business teacher apparently likes to look at porn on his laptop, because whenever a student comes up to his desk, he frantically claps the laptop shut or races to close windows. Or barks at the student.</p>
<p>Hmm, my school has had a little history of sexual harrassment problems. Most notable was last year when the JV assistant volleyball coach was charged for having sexual contact with a varsity volleyball player. They'd do stuff at his house. The girl ended up suing him (and she was the one that started the relationship) and they went to court. A number of my friends were on the team and some of them went to court to defend the coach (most people felt that he was being used by the girl), but the coach ended up having to serve community service.</p>

But there such relationships cause the perceptions of improprities. Teachers should stay of of there students pants. I don't care who the teacher sleeps with outside of school as long as it meets the age of consent.</p>
