So, I guess the "you want some fries with that shake" joke would be tasteless about now, huh?

 

 

:lol:

 

I don't think so.

This seems to happen much more often with female than male teachers, I wonder why.

 

Good question.

Good question.

I didn't say Kentucky did I?

 

I am solely talking about media attention. This happens all over the place in different occupations, but it seems as if the only one that shows up on headlines is when it's a teacher and student.

 

That is all I'm saying.

 

Why are you being so defensive? I didn't say you said Kentucky, but I'm sure other states are similar in that it wouldn't be illegal. Regardless of age it's usually illegal for a teacher to have sex with one of their students.

 

If its not illegal why would the media care?

Will someone please give her Deters number??

I hate to speculate on something like this, but I would guess that a male teacher has a hightened awareness that even the appearance of impropriety with a student will cost him his job. I don't know that those consequences are as ingrained into female teachers as they are in men.

 

Then again, it could be that they only become national stories when it's a female because that's oddly appealing to media consumers. When it's a man, it's a local story; he loses his job and moves to another state. It could well happen more with men.

It a woman teacher so it's ok, only time it matters is if it is a man teacher.

Only if you supersize it.

In my young single days, I shared a house with two guys who were both teachers. And both were having relationships with students. (They both later married the girls.)

 

Not making any judgements, just stating a couple of data points. In one case, the parents were aware of the relationship.
