Don't Tell

Another hot teacher gets busted.

I understand why the rule is there. I really do. I know that I have been intimidated by teachers before. But sometimes, the punishment is just a little much.

Sure, she is 7 years older than he is, but the student is of legal consenting age. The law does not see the difference in that regard, so the teacher can face up to 20 years in prison.

I know that when I was in high school, there may have been one teacher that all of the male students found more than moderately attractive. And I'm sure that all of those guys who were 17 or older would have said, "I'd hit that." (I love that PSP commercial. Those squirrels are hilarious.)

And after a round or two of intense, steamy, dirty sex, that student would calmly say, "So that's what it's like. Don't worry, I won't tell." Ok, they'd probably brag about it to their friends, but they wouldn't go to the authorities.

What she did was wrong. I just think this particular student is kind of lucky. No punishment for him? Get laid by a teacher and nothing can happen to you? I think his name should be made public. At the very least. And if there were romantic feelings involved, he should sit next to her in court.

From what I witnessed at my own high school, each incoming class was worse than the previous. The classes of '02 and '03 were full of intelligent and civil human beings. The class of '04 was dominated by the slutty and vain. '05 was just pitiful. Most of those teenagers will either be in jail or asking if you'd like to try the new Big Mac Jr. Deluxe with cheese. I didn't see the class of '06 first-hand, but I can only imagine.

If this were 2002, this teacher would not be in trouble. But it's not 2002.

Yes. A UT-Austin alum who coaches track, teaches Spanish, and was a Miss Texas contestant. It's no wonder I'm sticking up for her.

Would I "make love" to a woman that's 7 years older than me? Given the right circumstances, probably. And if she were a grad student at UT, could talk dirty in Spanish, had amazing legs, AND had a chance at being Miss Texas? Definitely. No doubt.

Umm...either way, the point is that the male student was legal. He deserves some of the blame!

"Whoa! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!"

Van Halen - Hot For Teacher

Van Halen knew it. It's not a secret. There's something about teachers. Especially when you see them an hour a day, everyday.

But really, her mistake was all about timing. Wait until after graduation, and things would have been ok. But because it started in February, there's a possibility of 20 years in prison. It's amazing how much difference 4 months can make.
