You see that is part of the illusion though. We have this thing where we view teenage boys as these out of control horny people. When that is more or less just teenagers in general, not just guys.
Society just likes to pretend every teenage girl is sweet and innocent and nothing but some poor girl who was manipulated.
Personally I feel like a teacher is in a position of great influence so it just shouldn't be done whether the student is legal or not. Just like I don't think college professors should bang their students. Especially this generation of students where they have the mindsets of 14 yr. olds. But either way you're in a position of power over these kids.
I also feel sometimes people don't think about the damage that can be done to a male student who sleeps with a female teacher. I realize there would be some kids who would see it as just sex and probably just be happy over it. On the other hand I am sure you also have male students who would get emotionally attached to some older female teacher who begins sleeping with them. If you remember that teacher Mary Kate Letourneau from the 90's she began to bang a 12 yr. old and..they are now actually married though lol. To which that almost sounds like a form of statutory rape stockholm syndrome.
Or you have the more recent case where the 24 yr. old female teacher was banging a 13 yr. old and the kids parents knew about it and accepted it. She ended up getting pregnant by him and then having an abortion. Can you imagine though a 24 yr. old teacher banging a 13 yr. old girl and the girls parents being okay with it? We live in a pretty crazy world.
