And there are probably more than a few 15-17 year old girls who'd feel the same way if their male teacher looked like Brad Pitt and bedded them. But I am very much opposed to adult teachers using their classrooms as fishing ponds. We have laws regarding minors for a very good reason: people who are not yet (legally) able to make certain decisions for themselves should not be preyed upon by those who are.

But it keeps cropping up where a male teacher or lecturer is having sex with pupils he teaches.In uni,s it's usually that the pupil feels it will help her in her studies,but we should be able to TRUST these teachers with our children .On another note ,the last 3times I have come back from Spain on the Calais Dover ferry,there has been a very smartly dressed young girl who is not good with the English language,accompanying an older 30 ish foreign guy ,she tries to cuddle and kiss this guy,but he is pushing her away.I feel these girls are being bought nice clothes,and promised the earth to be brought into the U K sex trade.,and not to do what they have been promised.

If you go to the area in question in Columbia we can all chip in and buy you a goat. All we ask is that you let us know how the negotiations go from that point. :laugh:

Indeed.

Teachers are more than just educators. They are in a position of influence where both their instruction and actions can have an impact on young students. As such, they are partly entrusted to uphold a certain degree of respectability and trust within our society.

This is one of the reasons that the teaching profession is one of only 4 in Canada that has a code of both standards and ethics are enacted by Federal law.

A few years ago a high school teacher was convicted and imprisoned in Ontario for having sexual relations with a student.

well I have to admit the I totally believe in a double standard here. but most of us do except "oh I am politically correct" Hang the female offender - pass the "HEAD" teacher around :)

basically I am seeing to completely different problems. forced prostitution and giving it up for a little coin. forced prostitution of a minor should be punishable by death. forced prostitution should be severely punished. prostitution one on one should be ignored. We obviously know all the associated problems i.e. drug induced prostitution etc. In our culture none of this is going away. money and drugs = sex. So with prostitution i think you are better off to tax it and manage it from a health standpoint

If it's "politically correct" these days to believe in treating ALL adult sexual predators the same, then I am proud to be called "politically correct". :wave:

If I had a 16 year old son (or a daughter), I would be sending him to school to get the best education possible... not drink beer, smoke pot and spend evenings at some emotionally insecure 40 year old woman's house, when he should be studying. And what if he got her pregnant or caught an STD from this female deviant?

In theory and in practice, I do my best to treat everyone the same. Unlike some, I do not believe in one set of standards/rules/laws for one group and another set of standards/rules/laws for other groups. So, as I consider adult females just as capable as adult males in controlling their base, sexual desires when they're around underage young people: "what's good for the goose, is good for the gander".

If an adult female has this issue and cannot control herself, then she may wind up in jail... or dead (as the one in Pennsylvania did a decade or so ago - not all parents are as "liberal" as those who don't mind their young sons being molested by adult females ;) ).


BTW, I would totally separate the topic of child sexual abuse from this discussion about (consensual) prostitution. The latter probably puts us on a thin line with the board's guidelines to begin with. But the former (IMO) probably crosses the guidelines by a mile (if there are those who are arguing in support of paedos). So this will be my last reply to the former topic. Wrong is wrong. Nothing more to be said.

Touchy subject.

It seems to have come to a head, too.

For a meaningful discussion we need to consider all the ins and outs.
