"Restraint"....its something some people never really practice
in important areas of "life" that I think..."Wow, I'd never do that."

You take a job...and there are certain understandings...in THIS case understandings that are that much more clear because no kid in highschool
is going to be of legal age anyways regardless of the defining parts of the job.

I guess these people feel entitled and untouchable...which I find crazy...
...but, hey...there are a lot of crazy people out there.

Back in the day when I was a student it seemed like 90% of all male teachers gave the girls at least a bit of the googly eye - enough that other students noticed.
This was in grade school and highschool.
Made me think that most male teachers were pervs to some degree.

As a student you see a lot more than you would then a fellow-teacher.

I'm sure there's a lot of good teachers out there --- but I bet there's a lot more pervs than you'd imagine.

Your story reminded me of something, back when I was in 10th grade, one of our science teachers was telling us a story of his past around when he first started teaching (or possibly an aid) in the classroom. He said he had a rough bout with temptation because at that time he was only 20 or 21 and the girls in his class were 17 or 18. He said it was the worst thing because he had to keep telling himself "that he is their teacher".

Now what txteach originally wrote about is wrong and I am glad they caught this perv and took him out. However in the case of what I listed above it is a bit more understandable because of the very close age bracket.

I think its more "understandable" than many would admit...how many times
just in passing (at a social gathering or whatever)...I've thought
"a 15 year old was 18" or "an 18 year old was 15" or whatever age contortion
BUT I just keep coming back to the "teacher responsibility" thing....
......if you're a teacher...you behave like one....its laid out in black and white.
LadyZod called it: "custodial guardianship".

My Dad Worked with the Green River Killer for Like 5 yrs up at Ken Worth Trucking Company before they finally outted him, and Caught Him. Dad said the dude just seemed like a normal Dude, he was the painter, cracked jokes every once in a while , joined in on some conversations, and pretty much kept to himself. The Dude was very Known around these parts for Killing Women and Hookers of a certain age and Dumping thier Bodies , well in or next the to the Green River. I don't know the exzact Body count, but it was huge... and when they went to this guys House that he was staying at , at the time, which happened to be in the town I was working in ( Media Circus here) , they found bones there too.

I guess where any of this is going .., is you don't truely know anybody in passing I suppose ..., just what they want you to see.
