The look says it all: daddy issues.

Inconceivable!

He fools her once, shame on him.
He fools her twice, shame on her.

Sometimes the old platitudes really are apropos.

Ambivalence		2012-04-18 08:59:28 PM

Oh for fark's sake. Are we going to put every teenager's relationship angst in the news now?

I'm tired of hearing about these people. Unless one of them kills and/or maimes the other, I don't care.

5 star chef of tv dinners		2012-04-18 09:03:06 PM

See, all they needed was a little time apart to work things out and here you thought they were finished. By golly, they are going to make this work. I say good luck to the happy couple.

FTFA: But Tammie Powers told the Modesto Bee that Hooker called her daughter relentlessly and she eventually agreed to a reunion.

Damn. Whipped by an 18 year old? This dude is just ... wow. He's just pathetic.

Nadie_AZ: The look says it all: daddy issues.

My cousin at 18 married her 38 year-old teacher. As far as I know, Daddy skipped town when she was a baby. I've got about 50 cousins so I have trouble keeping track.

My sister wanted to request "Don't Stand So Close To Me" at the reception. We chickened out.

It isn't like he could leave her for someone younger. He no longer teaches.

Apparently he started early, I know the librarian at that high school and she said the girl has had a class and been involved in a club with that tracer every year she was in high school.

/on a side note one of my students recently told me she was having dreams about me.
//unfortunately in the dreams I was poisoning her mother at Starbucks
///I have no idea what the significance of this is.

what do you farking expect? when we last read of this the girl was back in the clutches of dysfunctional self-involved over-bearing mom. you knew that wasn't going to be pretty. fire / frying pan.

best of luck to her.

WhyKnot		2012-04-18 11:33:42 PM

One CA legislator tried to make it a felony for a school employee to engage with a students at the same school where the employee worked, even if the student was 18.

Link

Of course the CA Dems. have a problem with that:

Opponents of Olsen's measure contend that banning sex acts and "inappropriate communication" - lewd, lascivious or sexual messages - could violate constitutional rights to free speech and free assembly.

"We have to protect free speech even if we don't like it," said Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, who chaired the committee.

AB 1861 would have made it a felony for a teacher or any school employee to have sex or engage in lewd communication with a student - regardless of age - in elementary, middle or high schools.

Because state law already bans adults from having sex with or attempting to seduce minors, the key impact of AB 1861 would have been to crack down on affairs between teachers and 18-year-olds.

Besides incarceration, Olsen's measure called for offenders to be stripped of their right to a public pension.

Valerie Small Navarro of the American Civil Liberties Union said the ban on sexual messages was overly broad and could chill discussion of "The Great Gatsby," "The Color Purple" or other novels.

Olsen countered that she would be willing to amend AB 1861 to address curriculum concerns.

Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, said she opposed singling out one group of public employees, school workers, for potential loss of pension rights.

"My concern here is that this could begin a ripple effect," she said

Because we certainly don't want to cut down on lewd and lascivious communications between school employees and students in their collective care, nor do we want to single out a group of public employees that either have sex and/or engage in lewd and lascivious communications with students.

I really hate my state some times. :-(

I loathe my daughter's BF but if I express the slightest agreement that she should leave him when she is b*tching about him it works against me.

*sigh

schatz		2012-04-18 11:38:10 PM

I'm still stuck on his previous charge. If he was implicated in any way of an inappropriate relationship with a student/minor, how did he continue to teach from then til this conviction? FTAish a decade or so elapsed...

Never since Mark Harmon and Courtney Thorne Smith have two characters been so star crossed.

I have a problem with that. Making it a fireable offense I can see, but a felony even if they're both legally consenting? That's just stupid.

You've been paying your hookers money when you could have been paying them Califpornia teacher/student romance this whole time.

I personally won't even care then.

It's perfect fodder for Fark, sure, because it's not news.... but news organizations seem to think it's news for some dumb reason. A girl with shiatty parents starts banging and falls in love with a surrogate father figure. OMG, shock of the century! That shiat happens so much it's cliche...

Hell, IMHO a committed relationship like that is better than her turning to stripping, the other shiatty parents cliche.

And I predict that we will be reading about it here on FARK. Stuffing, yams, potatoes, etc. being thrown at each other at the once beautiful dinner table and either daddy or the little misses being knocked unconscious after getting hit upside the head with the turkey.

He's forty-something guy with authority over teenagers who are easily impressionable. She is a 17 year old girl with daddy issues. You don't fark your students because that makes you a scumbag. He couldn't wait a farking year until she was out of school? He couldn't get a divorce first before farking her and destroying his family further by violating trust? I honestly don't care if scumbags go to jail.

Put some teeth in the law; the law was designed to criminalize those in a position of power, control, and custody from engaging in an inappropriate relationship with students who are enrolled in the school. If you can't wait 6 months until after graduation before trying to bed the 18 y/o then I think you get what is coming to you.

I think a huge issue would be how this is deciphered. This is a big farking penalty. Already if someone farks a student they are done, do you want to open the door for someone being convicted of a penalty because of what was deciphered by a student as a sexual message? Or a crazy ass parent? What is a sexual message? A look? A touch on the shoulder? A raised eyebrow?

I'm a teacher, and I'm terrified to even be near any student of any age. I'm all for stringing up molestors, but from what I know so far about this law, it seems like it is a little too open to interpretation.

So instead let's draft and pass laws that will be challenged in courts and will cost thousands upon thousands of taxpayer dollars to defend (and which will ultimately be struck down). Who cares if they don't pass constitutional muster? It's about the principle!
