I saw CoD in this thread and I was prepared to see a bunch of drama, but then everybody decided to ignore him and I was

It seems that we have found the most effective method of treatment.

Let Toady deal with him, this is getting ridiculous.

cowofdoom78963, you need to stop causing trouble and leave it alone.  Everyone, please return to discussing.  If you have anymore problems, hit up a moderator report.  Have fun!

[Jackrabbit]

Danke.

Although I think the discussion is sorta done now. It petered out about 2 pages ago.

I think it's a bit unfair that someone over the age of consent (but still in high school) cannot have sexual relations with a teacher, while in university you can have sexual relations with a professor as long as they don't teach any of your classes.

If someone is over the age of consent, why does it matter if the person is in a "position of trust". At 16, you're legally able to drop-out and work full-time if you wanted. You can smoke and drink if you want (not purchase; only consume). You can make adult choices, and if your parents want you to do anything, they must ask your permission (say, if they wanted to commit you to a mental institution or a hospital because you're suicidal, they can't).  If there's mutual attraction, in order for the relationship to proceed, the student has to drop out to become fair game? Not cool at all.

Well, the point of this is that the teacher is, forcibly, in a position of power over the student. At a glance this might not seem like a problem, but the problem lies in the fact that the teacher could bend grades and rules to a point where, though not detectable, it is highly disruptive. That also only gets worse when they break up. That's one half of the story and mainly deals with love affairsd

The other half has to do with the sexual side of the story. The teacher is as said, in a position of power over the student, from which it is very dificult for the student to break free. That makes it quite easy for the teacher to exploit said position of power for whatever reasons you can fill in. It doesn't matter that the relationship seems concentual, because even though the student agrees with it, That doesn't mean there's no abuse of power going on.

I wholeheartedly agree with Jackrabbit.
