But in a case like this, as an adult you have to realize that the onus is on the adult, in this case the 37 yr old teacher, to bear the burden of responsibility and BE the mature one at least enough to say no. 15 yr olds are all hormones, period. They're not old enough to be that responsible. Plus the teacher is in a position of authority over them and is looked on as a role model. She as the adult allowed whatever happened to happen. She's the one who will take the fall for it.
Bottom line, the woman is very likely going to jail for this, at the very least I doubt she'll ever be allowed to teach again. Discussion over as far as I'm concerned.
Except to say that if it happened to either a son or daughter of mine, I would want the teacher in question to hang for it. No double standard about it.

I just don't understand the concept of wanting someone to hang for it... I mean come on, everyone involved was a willing participant WHERE IS THE FUCKING CRIME?! And I don't mean by self imposed laws based on societal standards descended from the god damn puritans ffs.... I mean where is the victim?
The only victim is the teacher for being prosecuted on such a ridiculous "offense"...
Same thing goes for the guy that grows weed in his back yard and smokes it. The only "victim" is him when he's prosecuted....
Maybe it's just the fact that I don't view sex as something that should even be monogamous... I have an open relationship with my girlfriend and both of us love it. Monogamy is against the laws of nature and really, only imposed as a moral standard by the primary religions of the world...
To me, a relationship and the commitment is far more than a monogamous sex life and I would view my partner being more emotionally and intellectually attached to another person as more of a form of "cheating"...
