Threesomes, secret meetings, raunchy messages and specially assigned “homework”…
Is this the start of your typical porn movie?
No! Sadly, it’s the way headlines and news stories begin
when dirty teachers are finally exposed!
You’d think after all of the
stories that were published over the years of teachers being arrested and caught
having affairs with students, that many educators would STOP! You’d think that
the only cases left to report would be years
old – and that teachers and principals currently employed would smarten up.
Two awful stories made the
news in a week – one about the teachers in Louisiana who were arrested for
having a threesome with their student, and the other was about the Brooklyn Tech
High School teacher who “traded sex for good grades,” among other nasty things.
It’s discouraging to acknowledge that authorities in our public schools don’t
think about their actions before even making moves. I’ve definitely lost
respect for today’s educators. Of course, I’m not going to stereotype all teachers for making academics a
dirty realm in which to learn and grow.
Kids are told to respect and listen to teachers…That teachers “sculpt” a child’s future. If by
“sculpt” they actually mean entice students into a sexual act because things
aren’t going right in their marriage or because they don’t think they’re going
to get caught…well, then “sculpt” away! I
can use the word sculpt in a sexually suggestive way, too but let’s get real! I
don’t want to keep using sexual innuendos to get a message across…
Oh, that’s right, for some
teachers, that’s the only way to get through to their students!
When I went to school in the
1980s and 1990s, most of our teachers were older women and men who we couldn’t tolerate. They were gross! They stood over us in class or in the cafeteria and sprayed us with saliva every now and
then during their lectures. But hey – THAT was as much bodily fluids as we
exchanged with them! We couldn’t wait to get out of class. We put gum on their
seats and said, “We’re not finished taking notes!” when they wrote something on
the blackboard, subsequently holding up a lesson on purpose. We praised the
earlier generation of students who wrote: “Kick Me” on a sheet of loose leaf paper and
stuck it on a teacher’s back.
I’m in no way, shape or form
promoting any of these shenanigans – but no
kid wanted to come near a teacher in any sexual way and teachers didn’t seem to
fancy us either! While today’s sleazy teachers carry on affairs for MONTHS with
their students, before somehow getting caught, teachers from my days looked for
any reason to have a student suspended and sent out of the building. There was very little
conflict-resolution going on and the minute a fight ensued between us kids, the parties
involved would get a week off from school – OOPS, I mean, they’d get suspended
for a week.
Of course, there were
probably plenty of scandals that went unreported when I went to school. But
when 75 percent of the teachers are in their 60’s and 70’s and have bad body
odor or hygiene, how enticing could an affair be? Maybe today’s teachers are
“hot” and young – and maybe the students are getting so desperate for attention
and good grades that they’re willing to get some “private lessons,” no matter
how much they’re going to have to legally skate on thin ice when everything’s
exposed.
Are students looking to get
their teachers in trouble? And why can’t educators resist getting themselves
into these messes? Perhaps they’re ignorant to becoming another statistic – and
maybe they don’t read the news or think an afterschool romp is that big of a deal.
Don’t they get it??? Do they want
their careers and reputations ruined? What motivates someone – who’s supposed
to be a role model for our kids – to enroll themselves in an illegal tryst?
In the end, who knew the
popular “School’s Out” song lyrics would take on a whole new meaning… “No more pencils…no more books…no more
teachers dirty looks.” Whatever those ‘dirty
looks’ refer to, I’ve learned a thing or two about today’s educators. They
need to have the book thrown at them in more ways than one!
