I'm against it. This law will damage the very enjoyable 'teacher has sex with student' threads on Fark.

You mean I might have to learn stuff to get an A now? Fark. It's actually much easier to just sleep with your teachers and then blackmail them. You'd be surprised. The hardest part is seducing them. That's where it really gets tricky. Anyway, I hope this doesn't go into effect until next year, or I probably won't graduate in May.

The article doesn't define whether it would only apply to the primary/secondary school system. If it applied at the university level under a very broad level of no employee could have sex with ANY student, that would be interesting.

Professor Smith in Biochemistry has a wife who is a grad student in the MBA program. It's illegal for him to have sex with his wife?

Well, that sounds stupid...

I teach at the medical school. Why shouldn't I be allowed to fark art history majors I will never teach?

The mentally slow cannot grant permission you sick fark. History, psychology, and education majors should be a protected class.

So... This doesn't apply to homeschool, right?

I almost dated my teacher's assistant back at the university.
I wanted to wait until the semester was over to ask her out, and a few weeks before the end had ended up finding a girlfriend.

Something like that happened at my school

Huh.

So I guess that ends the need for "Spousal Tuition Remission" doesn't it?

I had a prof that I swear was hitting on me during the semester a couple years back. Was never quite certain enough to be willing to be embarrass myself that much, plus I couldn't believe it.

Never fear, there are plenty of other schools in the rest of the country that can provide you with the enjoyment you seek.

What about pre-school?

Thank god I don't go to school in Michigan. :|
They need to teach someone to stop bragging so much, then we wouldn't have this problem.

The undercover agent will be at the. Wet bus stop. He'll see her. His car is warm and dry.

I have a coworker who is a PhD student and married to a professor (different department, same school).

.. I guess since they've been married a while and now have a child that problem should be solving itself.

So I'll have to shut down my School for the Clinically Slutty now, if I can't fark the students to teach technique.

There's a shocking amount of grad student/faculty hookups going on at most schools. For the most part it is no big issue, but it does get creepy when it is the advisor sleeping with his student or the department's head of funding sleeping with a PhD candidate.

My brother did marry a GSI he had and that turned out well. I'd say ban relationships within the department. No sleeping with the kids you control research funding for. That's only proper professional ethics. Now if some grad student in Aerospace wants to hook up with a faculty member in Theater, no big deal.

What about football players?
We can't really call them students.
But they don't get paid in the same manner as regular employees....
 
2011-10-18 03:45:40 PM
A good old fashioned firing is good enough no need to toss them in jail.

This bill really takes the stud out of the student.

Good thing my wife and I don't live in Michigan. My wife is an admin at the university that I was a graduate student at, although in different departments. Doesn't mention anything about universities in TFA, though.

If you're talking about anal, don't you mean "no child's behind left"?

No, that IS a big deal. The last time that happened we got the "moon landing".

Well, guess I'm never ever going to move to Michigan.

/why else would a guy want to be a teacher?

This must have been another Republican law in search of a problem. Like the life starts at fertilization bills happening in Mississippi and Kansas, or the laws forcing ID to vote but not allowing college IDs.
 
2011-10-18 03:51:19 PM
Once again - another example of a law that we shouldn't need but have to create in order to have consequences for something that should bel clear is bad.

This is just yet another way to shaft the teachers. First they cut wages, then they bust unions, and now they take away student sex.
 
2011-10-18 03:55:04 PM
I don't have a problem with this, having seen some pretty shiatty situations in both high school (where an Assistant Principal was sexually blackmailing two Juniors), and in college where my Ancient History professor was giving out high grades for BJs.

/yes, I reported both situations
//nothing happened to either guy
///well, the Assistant Principal was shot dead a few years later, but not by a chick

Either the teachers get the shaft or the students do.
it's a zero sum game man.

When the article says "... even if the student is 18 years old or older" tells you that yes, it includes college students.

Kevin72: When the article says "... even if the student is 18 years old or older" tells you that yes, it includes college students.

I took it to mean kids who flunked a few grades and aren't clearing out of HS until they're 19 or 20. The article talks about schools on a district basis which sounds more like a K-12 thing. Although the article is poorly worded and I'd have no issues extending some coverage to universities.

How about undergrad/grad student TA's? As a teaching assistant, you are an employee of the university.

You realize that the above two situations and consensual sex between two adults are not the same thing, right?

I think faculty boning students is gross, but if you're over 18 you can bone whomever you like so long as they agree to it. Blackmail and payment, of any kind, for higher grades are completely wrong.
 
2011-10-18 04:00:26 PM
This would take away part of the grade for BFA and MFA students. Guess I'm not going to Michigan!
 
2011-10-18 04:02:32 PM
Woah, woah, woah.

C'mon now. Think of the college chicks. I don't want to risk jail time to make sure that they complete their education.
