TEACHERS: Sex with students

Over the past 25 years an increasing number of women teachers have been having sex with male students ranging in age from 17 to as young as 9 years old. School administrators and the legal system have been trying to combat this with little or no success. Recently, it has been suggested that authorities need to get tough with teachers who violate this prohibition by giving harsher penalties including long prison sentences.

Some psychologists feel that it is the result of a natural biological attraction while others think these teachers are using their position of authority to coerce students into engaging in these sex acts. While there are examples supporting each of these conclusions, there is at least one confounding variable which has yet to be considered by the courts — the school system itself.

There is a unique and totally different analysis of “why women teachers are having sex with young boys” on Amazon Kindle that is worthy of consideration. Before we start giving women teachers 10- to 20-year prison sentences, it might be a good idea to take another look at what could be the real cause of this dysfunctional behavior.
