"please don't paint me as some kind of prude."
Ahhh.... I think you've done the job sufficiently.
"I was simply pointing out that YOU are no longer in the 9th grade - 12th grade."
10-4. Sorry my posts haven't met or exceeded your "maturity" standard.
"If I were the mother of this teenage boy, I'd be pretty ticked off at your cavilier attitude toward this whole situation."
How much more clear can I make it? It's W-R-O-N-G for this teacher to have done what she did. I, however, can relate to the position in life a Sr. High student can find himself. That's not cavalier. That's reality.
"BTW...."wink wink" if this were a HOT male teacher and a sixteen year old girl, you and I wouldn't even be having this conversation....would we?"
Definitely not. I have never experience unbridled urges of passion toward a HOT male teacher. Of course, if we were having the conversation, I'd probably still have to write it 3 times in all caps that it was WRONG!
"10-4. Sorry my posts haven't met or exceeded your 'maturity' standard."
No need to apologize....I'm the mom of a twelve year old boy, so I can recognize a lack of maturity in a person when I see it....and I definately see it in you.
