The Teacher/Student Sexual Epidemic

I was sitting in Subway with my family, getting a quick dinner before heading off to their latest T-Ball game. We had just got our order and were sitting down to start eating when they walked in—two young ladies wearing what could be considered boxer shorts and tight shirts. They were innocent looking—not trying to be trashy, but one of them was wearing a sweatshirt with “Pink” written on it—I assume that it’s the same “Pink” that is a fashion line of Victoria’s-not-so-Secrets.
We (I speak of the culture here) have taught our young ladies that they are sexual. We have taught them that fashionable equals provocative. We have taught innocents that wearing underwear to the beach is something neat and special, and that showing a lot of leg is something cool.
We have introduced sexual education into our classrooms, causing kids to lose their innocence at younger ages—they now know when the government wants them to instead of when their family wants them to. We’ve told them that they cannot help it, that they’re going to need outlets, and we’re reaping what we’ve sown.
It Doesn’t Matter—Female or Male Teacher
Our culture has taken away restraint. In the common refrain of “we’re made that way, we can’t help it”, our culture has sought to demystify what was once taboo. It has sought to normalize all sorts of perversion, instead of seeking to encourage men and women to seek higher ground.
You may say, but a lot of the cases I read about is young women teachers preying on young men. You’d be right that these are the most glamorized cases—and perplexing to some. That is, until you realize that those 20-30 year old women are the first to come through the sexual education of the 90s.
Yes, I believe that we can accurately place a lot of the blame of our current sex saturated society and sexual-predators-as-teachers at the feet of the sexual education model of the 1990s1. Up until that point in time, comprehensive sex education was not taught in schools. Yes, the 60’s brought free love, but it wasn’t something that was preached from the school’s pulpit.
From High School to College
Sex now booms on college campuses, with many coed dorms simply being places for couples to be able to get something they couldn’t get at home. Whole industries have been made on sexual perversion and immodesty on display on spring break and in college dorms.
And it goes hand in hand. A virtuous woman will not seek to be exposed. She does not flaunt her body, and will not do things that objectify herself.
We’re pushing immodesty and sexuality younger and younger, and then wondering why the kids that we’ve pushed it on are engaging in it at younger ages, and with their slightly older peers.
I can still remember a Brady Bunch when Marsha was all ga-ga over the fact that a “college guy” asked her out on a date instead of a “high school guy.” And I remember that there was a girl in my high school class that was smitten with a male teacher that was doing his internship at my school. Think how easy it is to take advantage of this situation, and then think about what the school is teaching.
No restraint, just be safe, and have fun—because everyone is doing it.
It’s true today, but it doesn’t have to be true tomorrow. We need to show a better way.

This reminds me of an article I just saw on my news-feed about Mary Kay LeTourneau and the boy she had a relationship with. They’re married now and they throw parties called “Hot for Teacher Night” at their local bar. That is disappointing.
Excellent post! Yes it is sad to see the perversion all around us. If only more people would wake up and realize that there actions have consequences.
Great article. The easy access to indecent materials over the Internet makes things worst. I don’t recall 20 years ago when Internet was still in its infancy that we had so many cases of Teacher-Student affairs. Now it is like glamorized. Such a sad thing.

It just seems like there are just no boundaries anymore…
A girl that I graduated with got married to a teacher form our high school not too long after graduation… Which makes you think that there was probably something going on while she was still a student… It’s so sad…
why is it sad there was a connection and they married. I had some teachers that were only a few years older than the students.
if they just had sex and she got pregnant and he left her that would be sad.
or the female teachers that get the boys drunk or high that’s sad.
Well, first, sex should be saved until after marriage. Second, regardless of the age difference, there’s a power difference– teacher vs. student– with the possibility of grade manipulation, favoritism, etc. Third, many of these teachers already have husbands and/or families, so that could be cheating. All of these are morally wrong.
I think if everyone looked back to the bible on how to live we wouldnt have these issues. Children should be homeschooled. Parents are instructed to teach their own children and not send them off to the government schools. We can not expect our children to benefit from public schools. I know I was in one and barely came out alive. Look back in Rome on when the first schools began and it will make you cringe, and then we take after this example! Though we might not have our children running around butt naked in P.E. the way that the kids dress in sports and in gym classes now we are not far from it.
We homeschool our kids for many of the same reasons. It’s definitely the parent’s responsibility.
I totally agree with you Raechel. I was home-schooled and will, Lord willing, home-school my kids someday. Parents think that because they and their children are Christians their children can be missionaries at school. I hear that one all the time. Since when are unprepared soldiers sent into the battle. Parents are very lazy and most times don’t even try to homeschool. They think they aren’t capable and don’t have the time. It is also cheaper at the pub for a while. In the end the expensive homeschool is worth it. My brother says that it is a sin to send your children to the pub because it is a school run with tax-payer money and that is stealing from you neighbor. Why should we have to pay for schools that our kids don’t attend?
Homeschooling is a lot of work– a lot more than I thought. That being said, it is best for the country to have an educated citizenry, so it is good for kids to get an education. However, I’m am all for tax credits if you don’t use the services.
I would be for tax credits, except then the government can tell you what to teach and not teach in your home. It’s true! There’s a dvd called ‘ Exposing A Trojan Horse’.

Right– it’s in its nature. Once government allows for some people to be different than others, it has to put qualifications and rules on those people. Best to have a solution that’s fair for all than more regulations– especially regulations that would limit what you can and cannot teach.
