The Time Of Their Lives.
Should this teacher really be in jail? Is she a danger to society? If she had been high on drugs and stabbed her teenage lover, she would have walked free.

hc4361 - Exactly.
We employ university graduates as teachers because it is a position of trust and responsibility.
I doubt there is a teacher of adolescents of either gender who has not at some time or another been the subject of a crush, or some manipulation, as young people explore the boundaries of their sexuality - what we rely on in the maturity and sense on the part of the teachers to deal with those situations appropriately.
This teacher singularly failed to live up to her responsibilities, and is being punished accordingly.

As I pointed out in my previous post, children and young people are prone to make bad decisions and act inappropriately.
We have to be able to rely on teachers to steer them in the right direction, not to collude in wrong decision-making for their own gratifications.

"As I pointed out in my previous post, children and young people are prone to make bad decisions and act inappropriately. "
I think that i pointed that out in one of my earlier posts but included adults as well.......we ALL make poor decisions at some time......I have made many.
So we agree, again on that.
"We have to be able to rely on teachers to steer them in the right direction, not to collude in wrong decision-making for their own gratifications"
Yes we do......but again we are all, including teachers, doctors, law abiding citizens, subject to what i have already described as ..."human failings."

Before I go out I'll add.....I would hate to see the age of consent dropped to fourteen......
There are far too many young girls being abused these days......at least having the age at sixteen abusers and groomers of fourteen and fifteen year olds can be held to account...
We don't need to be helping these men....x

Abuse will never be legal. But stopping a 14 year old deciding what she is allowed to do with her own body, because of what men might do is a step backwards in blaming the wrong people. That's the same principle as using Burkhas. It's about choice, not age. That's the difference to me between right and wrong.
I think 14 is the right age of consent. It's 14 in Germany, and there are not routinely any major issues with that. The problem is that people are babied and not taught to value themselves, I think we need to entirely re-approach topics of self worth and self determination with kids generally, but we have issues in the UK that self determination and independence seem to be greatly looked down upon by teachers, they seem more worried about everyone wearing the same uniform and sending people home because they don't like their hair cut, than on forming young people with self respect that would therefore have a natural defence against gangs of men preying upon them. Girls are in charge of their own bodies, that's what needs stressing, not men have some sort of control over that which implying 14 is too young and therefore they can be taken advantage of only encourages.
The 14/15/16 age issue is not the point here though kvalidir. Even if she had reached the age of consent it is still inappropriate and an offence for a teacher to have sex with his/her pupil.
You are clearly a welleducated (albeit at home) and mature person but I do not think the average 14 year old is mature enough

No but we had gone slightly off topic FF, which was the point of the people who have raised the age of consent angle. I'm aware of the law in this country regarding people in a position of trust as well, but we've veered of track form that slightly, and I agree the average 14 year old is babied to bits hence my suggestion that we re-evaluate the manner in which high school children are taught in this country to rectify that. It would solve an awful lot of problems if people were instilled with a feeling of self worth and confidence.
