An adult male interested in teen girls is obviously mentally ill!
Any man over thirty interested in a lady in her early twenties obviously needs intense psychiatric care!
I find teenage girls entertaining, because there’s that balance of naivity and shock as they find out that the world isn’t what they thought it was when they were ten years old.
But I can imagine he isn’t in it for the stimulating conversation.
>>>I work with teens. My wife and I have been transporting them to extracurricular events. Often, they provide vivid reminders about why, even as a teenaged boy I’ve never wanted to ride in a vehicle full of teenaged girls!<<<
Yup. I’m a high school English teacher, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Someone told me ages ago that you could tell a man’s character by the woman he dates; a 41-year-old man having a relationship with an 18-year-old student betrays immaturity and lack of judgment, to say the least.
Another poster mentioned Will and Ariel Durant. Apparently she was a student, they wed when she was 15 years old, and the marriage lasted 70 years. I carried around his volumes about the history of the world for several decades. However, that was in 1911. He was 28. Cultural expectations were different, too - if my reading of people in that era is any indication, they came to the table with a lot more maturity than this putz from Modesto. In any case, it sure doesn’t match our cultural expectations. (Durant was also a committed socialist, too.)
In any case, this teacher is in that area where you would say it is legal but unethical and immoral. My suggestion is that the state should go after him under the moral terpitude clause in his contract, take away his certificate, and let him and honeybunch find another way to make a living. Sadly, the union which supposedly represents me will defend him, or the cognitive elite in the education bureaucracy will wring their hands and attempt to forget the incident ever happened.
And it pisses me off to no end having this guy’s face as the teacher du jour. *sigh*
