“Forgive me if I’m still wondering if Elizabeth Thomas was complicit in some way.”
Ha. Could be as simple as a bored teenage girl knowing that her dorky midlife crisis teacher is fantasizing about her and leveraging that into a huge adventure. And in her besotted teacher she found the perfect foil.
My neighbor was saying that years ago his then teenage daughter warned him to never give her friends a ride home without her being in the car. She told him that they were liable to claim that he had propositioned them because having an adult male hit on them enhances their social standing in high school. Maybe Elizabeth Thomas was doing something similar on a much bigger scale. Or not. Can’t say I’ve paid this story all that much attention.

I never would have thought up such a thing in high school where do these girls get such notions?
