And less and less men go into teaching because you're automatically labelled a pedophile if you do.

Teach female teachers not to rape boys. That should be the first lesson of the day.

She looks destroyed.

While she certainly had the book thrown at her, and even though the article did say there might be additional "victims", it still makes reference to a "sexual relationship".

30 year old people do not have sexual relationships with 13 year olds. No matter what the genders.

Let's remember here that this is still an allegation. She is still innocent until proven guilty in court. Let's not rush to judgement based upon an allegation.

If she is found guilty, then by all means castigate her. But she is deserving of the same legal protections afforded to anyone else until then.

Women really need to start teaching their daughters not to rape kids.

HeForeverBleeds · 2016-04-01T20:16:27+00:00

Apparently there were 7th-9th grade students, so like 12-14 year olds, not even one of those cases where the kid's about to graduate high school anyway. I think it's pretty obvious she's a genuine pedophile who got into teaching to have access to children

It's worth noting that these are mere allegations.

And we're told literally nothing about them.

So you fill it in with whatever you want. Very convenient.

Of course it's happening more and more. When people don't get punished for breaking the law more people break the law. Look at how crime skyrocketed in Baltimore after their mayor let them riot.

Are there any stats on this? Maybe female teachers shoukd be taught not to rape...

Even those who don't buy Kincaid's claim that the cultural "we" are drooling over the prepubescent Macaulay Culkin cavorting through Home Alone in his underpants or Herman's metaphor of the family as incest incubator might be surprised to find that their own secret yearnings could be illegal. The vast majority of so-called pedophiles do not go out and ravage small children. So-called criminals are most often caught not touching but looking at something called child pornography (which I will get to in a moment). And their desired objects are not "children" but adolescents, about the age of the model Kate Moss at the start of her modeling career. "The clients are usually white, suburban, married businessmen who want a blow job from a teenage boy but don't consider themselves gay, and heterosexual men who seek out young girls," said Edith Springer, who worked for many years with teenage prostitutes in New York's Times Square. "I have never in all my years of therapy and counseling come across what the media advertise as a 'pedophile.'"

But in the United States, views like those often lead to angry accusations. In 1998, The Psychological Bulletin, a highly respected journal, put out by the American Psychological Association, published a review of 59 prior studies of college students who said they had been sexually abused in childhood. The authors concluded that the effects of these encounters were ''neither pervasive nor typically intense,'' although they said gender and circumstance were important factors: a mature 15-year-old boy who has an affair with a young woman, for instance, is far less likely to feel damaged than a girl who has been raped by her father. The authors questioned the practice, common in many studies, of lumping all such cases together as ''sexual abuse,'' suggesting that in some cases they could more accurately be called ''adult-child sex'' or ''adult-adolescent sex.''

Some psychologists questioned the authors' methods. But the academic subtleties were forgotten when Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the talk radio host, denounced the article on her show. Soon conservatives were attacking it as an endorsement of pedophilia, and eventually the United States House of Representatives passed a unanimous resolution condemning it.

Earlier this month, legislators in Missouri voted to cut $100,000 from the University of Missouri's budget because of a 1999 journal article by a university political scientist, Harris Mirkin, that questioned whether all sexual contacts between adults and children constituted abuse. Dr. Mirkin, a father and grandfather who says he has no sympathy for child abusers, says he has received threats as well.

''Most people agree it's wrong for someone to be in a sexual relationship with their boss because of the unequal power balance,'' Dr. Spiegel said. ''If that's true with adults, it's certainly true between any adult and a child.''

Ms. Levine counters that power imbalances are inevitable in sexual relationships. ''A balance needs to be struck between respecting kids as sexual beings and protecting them from exploitation,'' she said.

Ms. Levine argues that sex between teenagers and adults is not always wrong, and that many people are too quick to deny children and teenagers the right to make their own sexual decisions, often by labeling all such contact ''abuse.''

Long-range Effects of Child and Adolescent Sexual Experiences Myths, Mores, and Menaces

Making a unique contribution of placing the current sexual exploitation of children and adolescents firmly in its historical context, this book looks at the family's and society's roles in child and adolescent sex abuse. Unlike most previous studies, this study allows a range of responses from negative to positive and avoids the methodological problems inherent in many other studies. Most studies combine the age groups of children and adolescents, whereas this study separates these different age groups and compares the nature and outcome of sexual experiences of children with those of adolescents. Utilizing sophisticated analytical measures, the author's findings repudiate many commonly held assumptions and serve to calm current hysteria regarding sexual abuse of minors.

Levine has taken considerable heat for holding up as a "good model" the Netherlands' age of consent law, under which young people ages 12-16 can legally consent to sex with older people who are not parents or authority figures, but under which charges can be brought if teens or their parents (with the Approval of the Council for the Protection of Children) believe the young person is being exploited. But her support for the Dutch law cannot be taken out of the context of that country's social welfare system and relaxed cultural attitudes about sex.

In order "to give children a fighting chance in navigating the sexual world," Levine says, "adults need to saturate it with accurate, realistic information and abundant, varied images and narratives of love and sex."

If a person truly has the good of young people in mind, one would hope he or she would be interested in what research has to reveal. "Harmful to Minors" offers a plethora of findings, from studies showing that exposure to sexually explicit images does not harm children, to evidence that teens' sexual relationships with adults are not uniformly devastating, to research on the ineffectiveness of abstinence-only education in delaying sexual activity.

Allie Kilpatrick is one source for Levine. The book of Allie is on routledge.

Ask yourself why there is a systemic desire to suppress facts in favor of emotional arguments. Why do you help perpetuate by downvoting my own posts on the subject and refusing to listen to alternative views?

All these teachers having sex with students just reinforces what we already know.

People are attracted to males and females in the late teens/ highschool.

I agree with the more-likely-to-report theory, but I also believe that there may be an increased prevalence too. Under this theory, some of the increased prevalence of these crimes is the result of the breakdown in gender relations.

Definitely a number of these criminals are married or in relationships, but social trends being as they are, there are now few people graduating from college in serious relationships with plans to get married. Because it's such a female-dominated field, I suspect some teachers have a hard time meeting and building relationships with adult men (the large number of teachers on dating websites would suggest as much). As a teacher, you also don't get the sexual attention/self-esteem boosts from adult men that you do in other professions, either from coworkers or customers. Who is giving you that attention? Teenage boys.

We need to teach female teachers not to rape young male students.
