A grown adult going up to a student and letting him know her husband wasn't satisfying her sexually... What? I think that sums up the problem here, these teachers don't see the students as people they have responsibility for... children ,but equals to discuss for instance a poor sexual relationship. There is obviously something a bit psychologically off with any teacher who would confide such intimate details with a student,let alone her sex with him . She probably also feels she has done nothing wrong.
She is not a paedo, but then nor is a man of her age who sleeps with a female student. She may not be punished as harshly as a man would in her position, nor will people be as angry with her, but her career is over and people will make fun of her and her daughter,people will point at her family and see them as a joke , she didn't realise there would be concequences? she must have known it would get out and then what? She could well end up on the sex offenders register, even if she doesn't go to prison like a man would. She is lucky she has a daughter and not a son, because there might have been restrictions placed on him living with her I would think,. The police/courts might not be happy with her being around other 15 yr old boys, . They just don't think these women. She could have gone to any club ,any bar in the area and picked up an 18 year old, a really young looking one if that is her sexual kick and kept her job and not be in legal trouble now . So what if she is fat, 18 year olds would not give a fukk.
I have less sympathy in fact for the female teachers in this position than the male ones. Because it's so easy for women to get sex,and despite the fact they could go into any club/bar and get a dude that night, they still pick a student.
