In a position of authority, a public school teacher has sex with a student , what comes next?

Absolutely not...the teacher has taken their position of authority and abused the power that goes along with it.  When you are an authority figure, you have to live up to standards of behavior that are above and beyond what is expected for any normal individual.  With an act like sleeping with a student, there is no way that the teacher can be considered responsible enough to educate children nor model appropriate behavior.

I had a teacher in 7th grade  who unfortunately had no children but him and his wife would do many after school activities that were completely innocent with the class... too bad for the whole school that some ignorant people decided to accuse him of things he never did.  It's sad nowadays there are stories of bad teachers doing things they shouldn't.  This was the best teacher ever and he's wrongly accused and lost his job.  15 years later it still breaks my heart

You should report it immediately to the Principal, if you don't feel comfortable identifying yourself, contact the board of education or the police, especially if the student is underage.

I think this is not the teacher's job, unless they can be certain that there is clear and present danger.\nBut, I would call the police, give them the vehicle license plate and if you know the home address of the driver/children.

I've been a teacher in many situations, but not in a public school. If I were and saw a student even try that, they would be out of there in an instant. Don't even think about it.

He is definitely using you for sex. How do you not get that? My goodness, what are they teaching kids in school these days that they can't figure something like that out?

Morally or Legally?\n\nHere in Arkansas a Teacher (Deanna Bobo, in Greenwood, Arkansas) is just starting her 2nd trial for molesting (err, she said "loving") her 6th grade students.  She is 34 and her first husband she married when she was 25, she had just started teaching 2 years before, he was 18.  (She started teaching at 23).  So, at 23 she was dating him already as a 16 year old.  She was found guilty at her first trial, now she's on trial for another student, years ago.\n\nCan a teacher fall in love with a student?  In my opinion, NO.  For one thing, they are in a position of authority and its hard on preteens and teens to distinguish between authority figures, either at home or school.  Both are frightening because of the absolute power they have over them.  Lets get real, all a teacher has to do to ruin a student is start a false rumor or mark a few things bad, and students aren't so stupid as not to know this.  Its not an EQUAL SETTING where people are free to reciprocate or NOT.  You either "give in" or your punished.  Even if your not punished, there's always "what if . . . "  What if the teacher tells something?  What if they start stories?  What if?  Again, your not in charge or a postion of authority, THEY ARE!\n\nNo matter how it stacks up, IT CAN ONLY BE ABUSE on the side of the teacher because they are in the authority position.\n\nIf they "loved" the student they would quit or wait till the student graduated, then make their proclamations!  However, they won't do that, because infatuation is always based on the physical, isn't it?

At a high school an English teacher is busy with work as a student approaches the teacher and asks when the test final test will be. She tells the whole class and a smart-*** jock raises his hand.\n\n"What if that day I just stayed home because I was sexually exahausted?''\n\n''Well, I guess you'd just have to use your other hand to write with.''

Tell her to go after someone her own age.  She isn't going to win the teacher over, all she can do is get him in trouble.

Talk to the director first. Tell her that it may harm children's respect to the teacher if she does that. \nIf it doesn't work, talk to the board members.\n\nBut before you do all these, secure the next job first in case it doesn't work out.

Why should your reaction be any different if he/she was straight? If the person in question is suitable as a teacher and does the job required why should there be any problem. Prejudice, I know exists. But you should rest assured that there is no correlation between homosexuality and abuse, if that is your issue...

Not unless you want to eventually get wrapped up in a statutory rape lawsuit if ya'll are found out, plus the teacher will be fired and go to jail. Did we learn nothing from Mary Kay LeTourneau? If you didn't, see this story: However, I guess if you're over 18 the worst thing that could happen is the teacher could lose her job.

Teachers have a union and I expect they would be glad to help him.  I think it would be highly unfair to punish a teacher for defending himself (would they punish a female teacher who was being sexually assaulted on school property by a student if she fought back).  Of course schools are political so who knows what someone might do.\n\nIt is too bad the student was not disciplined.  I am not in favor of out of school suspensions except in extremely henious situations, but this would have been a perfect time to make his punishment to help out that teacher every day for a period of time at school.  Just the kind of thing that can change a students whole life around.\n\nPlease let us know somehow what happens.  I will keep you all in my prayers.

Take this matter to the school board, the principal also has a boss.
