Just amazes me that 17 year olds can get 10 years in prison for having *** with 15 year olds, but the same courts will accept plea bargains from real adults having *** with even younger children. Something is wrong with our judicial system. Very wrong.

As a former Marine, and as a Scoutmaster for many years, I can say that we should support sporting activities for all young males. It is healthy for them; it helps promote traits that will serve them well in later years. And, I support those young males who are not interested in conflict sports, to those I try to lead them to fun and less competitive sports, such as volleyball which is more fun to play than basketball or football which is often accompanied with long tiring practice and long periods of waiting for your chance to play. But sports are very important for all children male or female.

Most all boys are driven by hormones by the time they are 13, and boys will experiment with many forms of se*x, this is the time to keep watch over them, while not interfering with what comes naturally to them, just be there for them when they have questions, let them explore with their peers, and keep adult predators away from them - for the sake of the our children who are on the cusp of entering adulthood. Treat them as we would like to be treated, and most boys will become great men and leaders. It takes conflict and competition to make a great leader, Scouting, and sports will give that to them, and the Marine Corps will to the rest.

HamiltonGRAD Believe me when I say if I even thought you were a school administrator I would search your county Boss out and forward him your writtings as repulsive as they are for review. You do not deserve such a position if you truly believe in such a position and are over children and teachers.

Teachers have been fired for less and deservably so.

The world is not a better place for the kind of stewardship you would like to teach someone crawl back in the cave you came out of. If Ignorance was Bliss you would be a blister on the *** of society.

HamiltonGRAD she is a criminal if she is guilty of what she said s Children even sexually agressive ones , even if that was the case need to be protected from adults who prey on children as she has done and deserves all the time in Jail allowed by the Law.

It is a crime very simple.

I had my Neighbor arrested for enticing my 15 year old daughter into sleeping with Him he was 21. It was a crime and he was jailed and did 6 years for that crime and I seriously doubt it changed his ways I moved my family across the country after that but doubt he would ever change as it turned out he had done it before to other teenagers who''s parents refused to prosecute which is a shame my Daughter might have not been plaxced in that position had he been in jail.

You simply and obviously do not have a Moral compas or Maturity to grasp the true nature of such a crime even if both participants are willing... Your repugnant in your ignorance.

To those writing below: Why are so many men so angry ? I have many answers for this,so I need not be offended, rather I am cautious and vigilant and try to teach my students a better way to behave, without anger issues clouding our mentation. Clearly, some schools and even female teachers (klew) are dominated by MALEness to the point of denial of reality.
Just look around at your so called TEEN age boys. They are men. That is why the ARMY recruits them !
This teacher is a focal point, an emblem of all that our society claims but fosters itself in a mirror of lies. Who should be in jail ? perhaps the boys gym coach !

As a male teacher if you were my administrator I would hope you could at the very least spell administrator correctly.

I also coach which I do not think enforces MALEness. There are traits which boys need to develop to become men that we learn from hopefully our fathers or else from our male peers not a sport. The fact that you think that sports brings about a maleness is ridiculous.

It seems to me that you have a self-righteousness about a man having a strong personality. Of course you are a feminist.

I can''t see why the teenage illegal alien should be allowed to stay in this country.

I hope I''m not too rude, but...

There were any number of female teachers that I lusted after in high school.

Had I scored, I would''ve kept my mouth shut tight.

As I woman, and a teacher, I am appalled at your justification of this woman''s actions! Women are not helpless infants who, by virtue of there ***, who fall prey to wily teenagers. I work with teens everyday, and there is nothing any of them could do to entice or force me into engaging in any sexual activity whatsoever -- much less flee the country with one! I am the adult, they are CHILDREN. You really sell your own gender short. As for the claptrap about the damaging effect of sports on boys, ridiculous!

As a feminist and a college Professor (Women and the World), I an shocked that this poor woman has been treated as if she is a criminal.
She is a victim.
What type of social / school pressures was she under at this school. She is obviously an attractive person, and we need to know if she was the center of "jokes" by male staff or students, thus forcing her into a role she did not want to play . Just because this was a ''boy" does not mean that he could not prey upon a female. In fact he sounds pretty "grown up". He is not an 8 year old.
As an adminstrator, I see the stress that women teachers have in dealing with any males over the age of 12, even so called "teenagers" - In truth, they are the most free to dominate girls in the classroom. In doing so , they want to step up to dominate the teacher as well. Sports for boys should be banned, as they encourage Boys to act like men, we do not need football, or baseball, or wrestling, as they just encourage the stereotype of MALEness, when in fact school should do all we can do downplay those primitive impulses.
This woman, like all woman , is not to blame. We all all.
