Why Teachers Take Advantage of Their Students

It seems there is an epidemic of teachers having sex with their students. Every time you turn on the television or open a newspaper there are more sick stories of this occurring. Some teenagers think that this is probably awesome if they happen to have an attractive teacher, but most of the stories we read involve gross, older teachers taking advantage of needy children. Unfortunately, we only hear these stories when one of these people actually gets caught. There are many reasons why these disgusting acts are committed and we’re afraid to say they’ll probably never stop regardless of the media attention these stories generate. Let’s take a look at how this phenomenon perpetuates itself in our nation’s schools:

Teachers are already in control. Teachers are in a position where students are supposed to listen to them. The majority of students, whether they care to do well in school or not, recognize the control a teacher has over a class. This places the teacher in a far different position than high school students’ other love interests: each other. Teachers are not peers of the students which makes this a dangerous two-way street. While students are typically too young (under 18) to be making a legal decision they are drawn to having a sexual relationship with a teacher or someone older. Teachers that are driven to have sex with their students are people that have trouble dealing with their control and something clicks in their heads that it is okay to do whatever they want with their students.

They prey on the vulnerable student. Teachers are in a position on a daily basis to see their students and how they interact with other students. When a preying teacher notices a student with poor self-esteem this student moves to the top of the list. The vulnerable student feels compelled to please the teacher and often won’t admit to what happened out of fear of continued embarrassment.

They’re attracted to them. Some of these stories are just as simple as one person being attracted to another and they don’t fear the consequences because their attraction is too strong. Ridiculous? Of course it is but these people have problems to begin with and if they meet someone they are into then they’re going to act on their impulses. They view these relationships like any others they’ve had in life and refuse to see the harm they’ve done to the student and their families.

Teacher-Student Sex Said to Be Not Unusual

By CAREY GOLDBERG
Published: May 21, 1995

The girl liked her teacher from the moment she stepped into his remedial class. When he treated all his students to chocolate bars one day, her affection for him, for his genial ways and hard muscles, flared into desire. When he offered extra credit to anyone who helped him mark papers, she jumped at the chance. She flirted and flirted. Then one day he made a move.

“We were looking at each other in the elevator from the basement to the third floor, and it goes really slow,” she said. “And we just kissed right there. When you’re a sophomore and you’re with a teacher, your head goes crazy. I was in ecstasy.”

The girl, a Richmond Hill High School student, is almost a year older now, and perhaps wiser than she should have to be. After an entire school year of secret romance, “I got my heart broken,” she said. “He only wanted to have a good time, and after that it’s bye-bye.”

If she has any consolation, it is that she is far from alone. She has company in thousands of other girls and boys across the country who have been sexually involved with teachers.

The most notorious recent example is Christina, the 15-year-old East Harlem girl who crossed the country with her former gym teacher. He has since been charged with kidnapping her. Prosecutors have considered charging Mr. Harris with statutory rape, but that charge may never emerge if prosecutors cannot prove that the couple had sex in New York. The teen-ager has said their relationship became intimate only after the two began their odyssey across the country.

“Sex between teachers and students is much more common than people are willing to acknowledge,” said Charol Shakeshaft, a Hofstra University professor and co-author of a four-year study on school sexual abuse that appeared this March in Phi Delta Kappan, an education journal.

Despite its frequency, teacher-student sex is always wrong, educators said, a betrayal of trust that is harmful to the student and indicative of an emotional defect in the teacher.

A vast majority of teachers never molest their students and would never take advantage of a child’s crush, researchers and school officials said. But Ms. Shakeshaft’s study quoted findings that up to 5 percent of teachers engage in some form of sexual abuse of students, from inappropriate verbal flirtation to intercourse. A nationwide survey in 1993 by the American Association of University Women found that nearly 15 percent of 8th to 11th graders, 25 percent of girls and 10 percent of boys, had been sexually harassed by a staff member.

The most striking statistics come from a 1991 survey of students at a North Carolina high school, published in The Journal of Education Research, in which 13 percent of graduates said they had had sex with a teacher.

That 13 percent may be exaggerated, Ms. Shakeshaft said, but she said that students tended to be more accurate reporters of sexual contact than are teachers or principals, who often try to cover up the incidents.

In New York City, 110 cases of school sexual abuse have been reported since 1991, most of them concerning some kind of willing involvement by a smitten student.

Cases like Christina’s and the Richmond Hill student’s fall into the category of what Ms. Shakeshaft’s study called “bad judgment romance,” in which young male teachers become intimate with attractive older female students. Cases involving female teachers and male students, and homosexual liaisons, are much rarer.

“These abusers saw their actions as either harmless or romantic,” the report said. Ms. Shakeshaft estimated that “bad judgment” abusers outnumbered pedophiles — who seek work in schools to molest children — 2 to 1. She found that female victims in high schools most often looked mature for their age and had “bad girl” reputations.

As for the teachers, their inability to resist the temptations of young students indicates something deeply wrong emotionally, psychologists said.

Normally, said Bonnie Jacobson, a clinical psychologist and author of books on relationships, young children have a sense of being perfect and all powerful, but grow out of it at age 4. But teachers, therapists and others in a position of power who have never resolved that phase can start taking to heart the admiration they get from students and subordinates, and abuse it.

“They really use the person who’s giving that level of adoration,” she said. “It’s not always conscious, but it’s very destructive, very destructive.”

After Ms. Shakeshaft’s study came out, more than a dozen women wrote her to describe the pain they still felt over affairs, some of them years old.

“The pain is lifelong,” she said. “They never are able to overcome the sense of betrayal over what happened. And they wrote us about how they had trouble trusting, trouble believing, and trouble carrying on intimate relations as adults.”

In recent years, public discussion of sexual harassment in schools and universities has made teachers more aware than ever that they should not take advantage of students.

But at the same time, said Alvin Cooper, clinical director of the San Jose Marital and Sexuality Center, “The older man falls victim to Calvin Klein commercials with 14- or 15-year-old girls. The media make for a lot of sexual acting out in our society.”

The policy in the New York City schools is quite clear on the penalty for employees who sexually abuse students, regardless of age.

“There’s an absolute line,” said John Ferrandino, superintendent of New York’s high schools. “Any kind of dating and sexual relations is a violation. We bring you up on charges, we throw you out, we get you arrested if we can.”

School employees are required to report all suspected abuse cases immediately to investigators. Yet the affairs continue to occur at a steady rate, school officials said.

“There are very many relationship cases we never hear about,” said Regina Loughran, the special counsel handling Christina’s case for the Special Investigator’s office of the Board of Education. “Very often, you hear about it only if the relationship goes bad.”

Ms. Shakeshaft’s study found that the teachers most likely to fall into sexual relationships with their students were those who spent time with them individually or after school: coaches, counselors and teachers of drama, art, music and gym.

A sampling of recent relationship cases handled by Ms. Loughran’s office demonstrated that. A track coach, David Drummond, at Automotive High School in Brooklyn pleaded guilty to third-degree rape after having sex with a 15-year-old female student. Others accused of abuse were a gym teacher, Andre Cadet, at Julia Richman High School in Manhattan; several young school safety officers, and a couple of guidance counselors. One counselor, Roger Krubiner of Park West High School, was accused of persuading a girl to have sex with him and pose for nude pictures.

In Christina’s case, at least, her teacher, Glenn Harris, was apparently not playing with her. He ruined his career, spent all his money and tried to marry her.

Not all stories of teacher-student romance end as badly as hers, with the teacher facing criminal charges, but to educators, what Mr. Harris did was undeniably wrong.

“It might be a cute love story,” Mr. Ferrandino said, “But, it’s corny, but being a teacher is a sacred trust, and you have to handle it like that.”

The young American English instructor at a certain English training college in Zhuhai, China’s southern Guangdong province got himself involved in a love affair with one of his students that all went horribly wrong the second he found himself dumped.

On hearing the news of the end of the relationship, John (not his real name) threaten the girl with publishing naked pictures he had taken on his phone, on the internet. He demanded RMB 100 thousand to destroy the naked pictures. Last week the Mid-level People’s Court of Zhuhai sentenced the American to 3 year’s imprisonment for blackmail. On completion of the sentence he will be removed from the country.

Upon having the sentence translated to him, the defendant broke down in his chair sobbing and begged the judge for the right to appeal for a lighter sentence. John even pleaded with the judge for a community service sentence, anything to avoid a Chinese jail. John is due for an appeal soon.

John, aged 22 moved to Zhuhai to work as an Oral English Instructor in 2008. It was there that he met Miss Luo and they struck it off straight away. On the evening of the 25th October John invited Luo to his apartment for a meal. According to the American’s testimony in court: “We had fun that evening and got on really well.” It was then that the couple made love. It was that night that while Luo was in the shower, John took photos of her on his mobile phone camera. One of the three photos he took showed her naked above the waist.

John explained that when he took the pictures she knew all about them and didn’t refuse or mind them being taken. The next day Miss Luo left for Hangzhou, Zhejiang province on the other side of the country. The two of them remained in touch but after a short while Luo told John that she had a boyfriend in Hangzhou and that she wanted to break up. John felt that he had been cheated and swore to take his revenge on her.

On 30th November 2008 John contacted Luo via QQ and sent her one of the naked photos, tricking her by saying he had lots more naked pictures that she didn’t know about, as well video footage. John demanded Luo back or he would send the snaps and videos to others. But after some more discussions he agreed to accept RMB 100 thousand in exchange for the illicit material.

Moments later Luo called Zhuhai police and upon arriving at John’s apartment they made their arrest.

What do you think should be the final outcome for ‘John’? Let us know your opinion in the comments sections at the bottom of this page.

    THERE IS NO EXCUSE OR JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR. I DO NOT CARE WHO WRITES AN ARTICLE SUGGESTING OTHERWISE. IT IS IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL.

    IT IS AGAINST GOOD SOCIAL ORDER.

    IN CHINA THIS CONDUCT IS PREVALENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND PRACTICED BY CHINESE TEACHERS AS WELL AS FOREIGN TEACHERS.

  • Jenny Class 1C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: DID YOU READ THIS? MOST OF THE GUILTY TEACHERS ARE WOMEN.
    LOOKS LIKE YOU ONLY READ THE TITLE.

    How disgusting! As a teacher,he must treat his students as his own children. Will he make love with his daughter? Those teachers should think about it,that what will they feel if they hear that their children have sex with their teacher. The students ,too, should be blamed. Everyone should learn how to protect herself. We must be responsible for ourselves!

  • Christina Class4C

    Things like this have been reported many times,I remeber one ,one professor accepted 100 thousand RMB from a female student and have sex with her,the student wanted to be a doctor but her score is not enough for the study. the professor went to administration office with his wife to admit this thing.and this thing are know by people.then this news attract much attention by public.many media reported this incident. here is one standpoint “the professsor is 70 years old ,he don’t have the capcity to intercourse with the student,and he admitted this ,this can prove that he is a good person, we should not blame him.” I don’t agree with this view,as a professor you should set an example to student,but not trade with student.the student is wrong.as a student one should love herself.

  • Constance Class 12C

    It is terrible that a teacher having sex with their students. It is the teacher’s fault absolutely if the students are under 18.On the one hand ,teachers are at the control position where students are supposed to obey their orders.On the other hand ,students under 18 are too young to protect themselves and lack of judgement on this affair.So,the teacher who involves in this behavior should be punished strictly even judged guilt!

  • Yvette Class10C

    It’s terrible. I cannot believe that teacher would take advantage from student, but it is truth. I feel very sad and angry with this phenomenon. I hope this could be controlled. Teachers should realize that rules they should follow. Students should study how to protect themselves. All of us want the study environment is clean.

  • Jo Class 12C

    A teacher of mine once fell in love with his student,and they married in the end.It’s a beautiful love story in our middle school.They are living happily all these years.But what I mean is love!Not sex!Maybe it’s a common phenomenon in the western country.But.Chinese people can’t accept such kind of things!We think it as a violation of morality.A teacher who do such kind of thing will not only be punished by the law,but also unacceptable by our society!Teacher are the synbol of morality and knowledge.We can’t stand it!

  • Tina class 4C

    I can not believe this thing often happened.In my opinion,It is very ashamed for a teacher .Because teachers should like to be an elder in the eyes of his students. these teachers who have sex with their students obeyed the professional ethics of teachers.Maybe from this phenomenon,we can learn that students expecial these who are not 18 old should learn to protect themselves.What’s more,our government should improve the quality of teachers.

  • Johnason Class 3C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: THERE IS A FIDUCIARY DUTY OF TEACHER TO STUDENT NO MATTER WHAT THE AGE.

    Well!
    The love between a teacher and a student is not unusual on chinese campus.Even I don’t think it is immoral for them to have sexual intercourse.because for teachers and students in unversities,they both have grown up into adults and they should shoulder full responsibility for their action.Private life should be safeguarded by law and outsiders have no say in such things.Otherwise,for teachers and students who are still in high school or primary school,love and sex should be strictly prohibited.Teenagers are prone to be enticed into doing irresponsible things and their teachers should teach them right values and rules which we live by.So it is unacceptable for adolesents to have sex with their teacher.

  • Stella Class 3C

    Sometimes I think it is human nature for a student to appreciate his or her brilliant teacher. But I don’t want to hear the disgusting things that teachers have sex with their students. I don’t know the real reasons for these stories. Do the students want to pass that course, so they are forced to have sex with their teachers? Or do they really think that they have fallen in love with their teachers? But I consider that if the teacher really loves her student, she may wait for him to grow up. In my hometown, I have seen a real example. The girl loved her young teacher, but she was too young to get married. So the teacher waited for her, he even send her to go to college. And now they become a couple. I really wish every teacher don’t take advantage of their students and each student should put it in perspective.

  • Mark Class 3C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: WELL, THAT PROVES YOU READ THE MATERIAL. FANTASTIC ANALYSIS.

    These above materials tell us an absolute truth that, teaching is a dangerous job. For a teacher and normal person, and especially for the one whose youth departs, it’s out of human nature to love the beautiful or handsome. As to this, I made a simple statistics of the 50 most infamous female teachers involved in the sex scandal. The average age of the female teachers is 28.8. 74% of the 50 teachers are below 30. It indicates that the teachers old but not old enough is most vulnerable. The average age of the students is 15.7. The standard deviations are 5.41 for teachers and 1.56 for students, comparatively. The difference in the standard deviations means in this sexual relationship, the boys are usually the passive side because they are being chosen. And it also reflects that 15-year-old age is the most fresh, cute part of youth. Attracted by the good-looking is natural, that’s why we see more beautiful women in the top 10 of the list.
    Sex is a kind of temptation in one’s life. Confucius said, urged by love, suppressed by courtesy. If we made a fault on it, it will be one of the most grievous faults among all the other temptations. Sex between teacher and student is OK as long as I am not involved. But if anyone made a fault on me, he will regret for his life, I promise.

  • Jackclass9C

    what I Want to say is that everyone has his right ro choose his or her love or lover.but the premise is that two parts should build their beautiful affections on their willing.on university campus,the teacher is an adult ,so dose the student.If they admire each other and attract mutually,and the most important is they are yearm to get the ture love,why can’t they live together and make love?Sexual intercourse is not necessary uncompitible only if the teacher and the student have a steady emotion.

  • Diana Class13C

    I can’t stand teacher—student sex, it is unbelieve! As we all know, the teacher who teaches us like our parents, we respect them, learn knowledge from them and treat them as our seniorities. How can the teacher do that! When our parents sent us to school, they want the teacher teach us how can to be a useful person, not want us make sex with them! The students are young, there are something they can’t understand, but the teacher not, so how can they do that!

  • Jeff Class1C

    To tell the truth ,in my middle school such a digusting thing ever hanppened , a youg male teacher raped a beatiful girl who is only 16.When hearing the incident we all fell very angry. We even can’t believe this behaviors would occure.But actully,it really exesit .What is more ,the teacher wasn’t in charge and still lived freely .
    Maybe we should make a deep inflection on this matter and take some precuations .Or one day our excellent traditional morality and thenics will not survive.

  • Angela Class 16C

    I do not really take teacher-student sex seriously. I have heard it before, but some of it came to the so-called happy endings, teacher just married the student. I never take it as a trust thing before, in my eyes, maybe it’s just a love thing sometimes. However, the teacher who takes advantage of his/her students is really awful. And I also know there are some students bribe their teachers by sex to get something they need. It’s an illegal and disgusting deal, a definite crime, it has nothing to do with trust, both of them should be condemned by moral and also charged by law.

  • Felicia Class 14C

    I have to say that I am shocked by the high rate of student/teacher sex in this article. Although I known some scandals that students have sex with teachers or professors to get the entrances of collage or some other thing through Internet, but it has not happened around me. We all deal the relationship between teacher and student very well that we just dare not want a romance with teacher. Sometimes it sounds like an extremely romantic story when we heard a teacher married his students. But I think it is very rarely. As to the problem raised by sociologist, I suggest that teachers should aware of their dangerous situation, and the students should throw away the blind obsession for teachers.

  • Laura1 Class 11C

    Apparently, the tempo of life has accelerated. Consequently, it creates alienation between people. There is little time for them to get along and to know each other well. And as another result of it, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. However, people have the right to design which one they like to have sex with. These are things of ones’ own. It is none of others’ business. Even the love story happens between teachers and students. If both of them are adults and they do love each other, then it is ok. Therefore, calm down and just let them aside.

  • Harry Class11C

    As a teacher ,I think ,he or she should be obey the ethics of teaching profession , which is the baseline , otherwise ,he or she should not stand in the platform of the classroom .Both students and teachers are equal ,even thought students should respect teachers ,with one of the reasons is that they are older ,the teacher should respect students ,too , at least should not take advantage of them. Of course , someone may say that , in the university , as an adult , no matter student or teacher, they have the Right to choose his or her lover , but in my opinion ,as long as the teacher is still in the teaching position , he or she can not make love with the student , even though the student asks for ,unless he or she is demission .In the Chinese tradition culture , teacher is an glorious profession , who not only teach them knowledge ,but also how to cultivate the nobly quality , in this case ,make sex with student is a shamefulness ,which will do harm to the student ,even society .

  • cathy Class 5C

    I consider it is nothing wrong that teacher and student have sex building on the fundamental of love, which is one of the noblest emotions of human being, for the reason that everyone has freedom to pursuit his love. However, it should be condemned if the sex relation takes place resulting from the original human libido. Putting aside the moral, the most unforgivable is that this behavior profanes the relationship between teacher and student, whose intention is imparting knowledge. Handing knowledge is significant important in respect that this behavior is the key point to retain human civilization. Teacher- student sex should be criticized and prohibited in the name of passing on knowledge.

  • Nancy Class 10C

    It’s hard to say about this. In my opinion, I can’t accept someone who is too older than me. Maybe I will admire him or like him, but I will not let it become a relationship. Morally, I think it’s wrong. I can’t understand those who have relationship with teachers. It’s unbelievable!

  • Anna Class 5C

    Sexual relationship, just as I can ever imagine, is as less evil between teachers and students than between others.
    I would consider people over blame the sex between teachers and students, believing that since the teacher is the main course, they should hold much more responsibilities than others. What they neglect is that teachers, in essense, are no more than a job. What dedicate their superiority is their working target are people, espencially young people. So to some extent they should take responsibilities, but what in more is they should never be over-ruled by ethics.
    We would definately punish those break the law, but never should we over reacted by those behavior.

  • Susan Class 3

    It is a really awesome and sick story that a teacher has sex with the student. And this trend is getting more and more serious. There are several factors causing this phenomenon happens continuously. Firstly, we lack relevant laws to restrict the teachers’ behaviors. The teachers who have done these things just get some criticism and little punishment from school, which means little to them. Secondly, just as an old saying goes ”It could not make a noise without two palms”. The student herself has her own responsibility. As is reported, those students who make sex with the teachers always have her own requirements from the teachers, such as high scores, scholarship or things like that. Facing this sick phenomenon, several things we could do. Our government must set up relevant laws and regulations to protect the rights of the students. What is more, students themselves should preserve her own moral integrity.

  • Sean Class 5C

    Most time when I hear that teachers take advantage of their students or have sex with these students, it makes me sick and I would think it is vile. In the traditional Chinese concept, teahers should take students as their children, so it is difficult for me to imagine sex relationship between teachers and students. However, there are also many cases that a teacher and his student falls in love with each other and they get married finally. For example a teacher in my junior high school married her techer and they have a happy life now. Overall, I think it is absolute crime that teachers take advantage of their students or have sex with these students who are under age.

  • Shirley Class 16C

    OMG! I cannot believe female teachers do such things before reading the above materials, At least in China! But on the other hand, I have witnessed several romantic love stories between teacher and student. All couples are older accomplished male teachers and younger pretty female students. If they do love each other, it’s none of our business to blame the unorthodox behavior. However, we are easily fooled by false appearance sometimes. No matter what excuses are, teachers should pay attention to their moral deadlines.

  • Cindy Class 5C

    Unbelievable! After I browsed the linked website, I was shocked by the numerous of teacher-student sex facts. Especially so many female teachers were arrested by sex scandals, their ages among 20 to 60, which is unimaginable. I cannot understand and believe these women.
    Why these illegal affairs happened frequently on campus? Why so many teachers violated the fundamental teaching rules? Love? Like business trade? Bad effect of human nature? Anyway, the behavior of teachers have sex with students should be blamed or even be published by the law. In China there is an old saying, once a teacher, forever a teacher like father. Most of our Chinese are traditional and old-fashioned, the teachers have sex with students behavior intolerable in China. However, like someone said, if the teacher and the student fell in love with each other, the teacher could wait for the student to grow up be an adult, the result would be a romantic story.

  • Anna Class 10C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: TEACHER/STUDENT LOVE? DOCTOR/PATIENT LOVE? SUPERVISOR/EMPLOYEE LOVE? THEY ARE SIMPLY SEXUAL HARRASSMENT AND ILLEGAL IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY.

    Student and teacher are easy to make in love with each other I think, and it is a normal phenomenon. Everyone has the rights to love another, so whoever you love is no problem, as long your’s part also accept your love, it is all right.

  • Anna Class 15C

    According to the reports in the newspapers or on TV, sometimes I got the news that is similar to the one in this article. Every time after my reading, I always feel ashamed of the teacher and a sense of loss. The relationship between teacher and student should be the same as the relationship between parents and children. And that’s unchangeable as time goes by. As a teacher, he/she should deal with his/her students just like parents treat their children. The superiority of teachers over their students should keep on whatever happens, where they are or when they are. Just respect the seniority. In modern times, a lot of people forget the etiquette that we sang high praise of in the past and even go against these virtues because these virtues have been regarded as a barrier to their freedom. That’s really a pity. If we had more self-control and respect both sides more, there will be less tragedies in our school and in our society. And we are looking for that heart and soul.

  • Freda Class 1C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: THERE CAN BE NO TRUE LOVE UNTIL THERE IS NO POWER OVER ANOTHER.

    Maybe this is an ethical problem.Whatever the teacher is a woman or a man,it is not the main point of this problem.If there is true love between the teacher and the student,I don’t care that they have sex together.If they both adults and really the one for the other,they can do what they want to.But I do not advocate this.

  • Jodie Class 12C

    I can’t tolerant most of the student-teacher sex, because most of the teachers are just taking advantage of the students and this will only bring about permanent harm to the immature children. But if they are in true love, I think I can still accept it.

  • MaryClass11C

    That is a very complicated thing! If the teacher and his students have sex with teacher’s privileges of giving high cores and fellowship ,I think the teacher broken out laws, and lose his professional ethics. If the teachers and his college students in sexual relationships are based on mutual love each other ,it is understandable. College students are adult ,he or she should response for the acts of his or her own. It is a normal matter that students fall in love with a teacher.

    After the passge,I am astonished about the phenomenon.Many students are so young that they can not protect themself and they also do not kow how to do when they meet things like that.In order to avoid them happen in the later time,firstly,the teather must kown clearly about their duty,at the same time time,some students are in adolescence,they can eaeily fall in love with their teather.What the teacher should do is to lead them to the right rold,not take advantage of them.While, school should enstrenth the education about this topic to avoid this kind of things to happen again.

    How sucH Student/ Teacher Sex is. After reading the article, Teacher-Student Sex Said to Be Not Unusual, I am shocked by a series of statistical data of survey. Whatever the outcome is, I think it is a violation of ethics. School teachers should conduct their own professional ethics and social ethics, students should also abide by its part to fulfill the duties of a good student, reading in their heart. Thus, it can form a harmonious campus learning environment, and create a good cultural atmosphere of the campus.

    In China ,people are too shy to talk about sex. Both parents and teachers seldom teach the young something about sex. The lack of sex knowledge sometimes leads to more unhealthy sex behavior. In my opinion, avoiding talking about sex in front of the young isn’t necessary. It is important to teach the young some knowledge about sex in a correct way and teach them to prectect themselves. However, I don’t think the Teacher-Student Sex is usual. After reading the news on NEW YORK TIMES, I feel the phenomenon is terrible. As a teacher, one has the obligations to obey the professional ethics . He/she should try his/her best to help the students rather than take advantage of them.

    EDITOR’S NOTE: IT IS NEVER RIGHT TO GO AGAINST THE LAW.

    Having sex with whom is people’s right,if they do love each other, the other people shouldn’t scold them. However, teachers not only have responsibilities to teach their students knowledge on books but also have responsibilities to teach or guide their students on other things such as love and sex. As a teacher,you should put your student in the first when you make decisions including having sex with him or her. Because they are not rational and they don’t know what’s the real love. So if the teacher is rational and does love the student, prepare to take care of him or her, it’s their freedom to have sex!

    It seems very unacceptable to us that teachers took advantage of their students, because the education we took always depicted teachers a respectable and gracious people. However, we should consider that, teachers are also normal guys, who have seven affections and six desires, so it’s not surprised to me that there are some bad teachers exist. It’s normal. What we should concern about is why students let their bad teachers taking advantage of them, with no resistance. And also it’s true that teachers in China are in a position where students are supposed to listen to them. Some students may be afraid of the bad teachers or some students just wants some benefits from them to get a better scores or work. To the first style students, they should be braver to say no, they should know that no one can control their life. To the second style students, I want to advice them that you should not lie to yourself, maybe you get a good marks or a good job by using money or sex, but it’s not belong to you, because you didn’t pay any effort to get it, maybe you can lie to yourself in one time, but you can’t lie to yourself in your whole life, and when you get older, you would feel ashamed of what you have done. So stay away from that bad teachers, and control your life by yourselves.

  • David Class 2C

    This is a sensitive issue in china, not only common discussion but also Chinese media pay litter attention to it for its bad effects on children and traditional culture, although it exactly exists in today’s china. In China’s traditional culture, teachers are considered to instruct knowledge as well as lead a example for behavior standard, which means teachers should never have any close relationship with students. Even until today, most people have such a thought except for Qiongyao’s novels. In today’s classes, teachers indeed have a power on students especially in china, however, teacher should take his career and reputation into consideration for the deeply traditional culture.

  • Lisa Class 10C

    I have heard about this kind of stories only in gossip. I believe there’s no smoke without fire, some teachers do have sex with their students or future students. Once upon, I have heard that the students who wanted to pass the entrance examination of famous universities, especially the majors like arts, drama and music, should have sex with the major executive. It is too terrible to happen on the beautiful girls, I can’t think the future about their life .

  • Susan Class16C

    We have little discussion on this issue before and we take some of the news as dirty phenomenon in society. We have the common opinion that it is illegal and immoral. Two points in the article have surprised me. One is that most of the guilty teachers are female; the other is that one reason of the phenomenon is the temptation of a charming teacher. I have the prejudice to males who seem more powerful and easier to have psychological problems. And the sacred and respectful figures of teachers are rooted in my mind and so are other students who grew up in a healthy and traditional environment. We have to recognize that world is too complicate to understand either to catch the changes with time.

  • Catherine Class 15C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: NO IT IS NOT A PRIVATE MATTER. IT IS AGAINST THE SOCIAL ORDER.

    I have to say, teachers and students having sex relationship is a private matter if their relationship does not involve other people’s interests.
    But the problem is, some people benefit from the occurrence of sexual relations and jeopardize the interests of others. This requires additional discussion.Because it is difficult to say it is the student’s fault or the teacher’s fault.

  • Zoey Class 5C

    I have to say, this phenomenon exists in china too. We can hear about teacher having sex with his or her students often on TV and in magazines. I feel it is unacceptable. There are different reasons for teachers to have sex with students. One is a mature teacher attract a nonaged student. In this situation, I think the teacher has done something illegal and should be punished. The second reason is maybe the teacher have some power and he or she can help the student if the student is willing to have sex with the teacher. This is also illegal. And the third reason is they attract each other. In my opinion, no matter which kind of reason it is based on, the teacher shouldn’t have sex with the student. It is against the social order!

  • Allen Class 2C

    EDITOR’S NOTE: WHEN ONE PERSON HAS POWER OVER ANOTHER, THERE CANNOT BE ANY CONSENT.

    I have heard about this problem in China before, but I never know that there is similar situation in America. Generally speaking, this is a bad, even horrible thing. If a teacher forces a student to have sex with him or her, just because he is a teacher, then this is a felony, and should be punished with no mercy. But if the student is already an adult, and the accident happened in a consensual basis, then the situation may deserve a second thought. Anyway, these phenomenon are very strange, and we should try our best to prevent it from happening too often.

  • Alice Class 12C

    Teacher-Student relationship is not so numerous as it happens in America. I get the image from American TV series that most American’s relationship is complex, as they can fall in love with each other only a second then have sex. The most popular teleplay –Gossip girl reflects just the sex relationship between high school students, teacher-student also. I suppose it as a usual phenomenon that exists in America. However, a symptom likes above comes into China. Newspaper headlines written with “A young male teacher raped a beautiful girl who is only 15”, “an old teacher act indecently towards five of his pupils”. In China’s traditional culture, teachers are considered to instruct knowledge as well as lead a example for behavior standard, and teachers should never have any close relationship with students. It should be condemned if the sex relation takes place resulting from the original human libido. Putting aside the moral, the most unforgivable is that this behavior profanes the relationship between teacher and student. Teacher- student sex should be criticized and prohibited.

  • I remember some newspapers have reported that some students have sex with their tutors for a higher mark or other privilege. This kind of relationship is regarded as illegitimate and unfair for any other students. It is also harmful for the academic environment of colleges. University is a holy place to absorb knowledge, and it should be a place to learn how to behave as a responsible man or woman. Students should respect themselves while teachers should set a good example! All of us must resist this bad current tendency of teacher-student sex.

  • joe Class 2c

    Any one who induces or forces a child to have sex is guilty, children are so vulnerable, and they have no idea of what is life. One shock like this will last life long. Teacher is a sacred job, teacher is the guide of the next generation, so choose to be a teacher means to be sacred. But I don’t think that there should be no love between a teacher and a student, if the love is true, love is also sacred. But they should keep it secret and never have sex before the student is qualified to marriage.

  • Adam Class 5c

    How disgusting it is. In my mind, teachers are just like the students’ parents. Parents teach their children at home, and teachers teach children at school. How could they take advantage of their students? We are human beings, we have moral and laws. If they only want to make sex with others without considering the social moral and laws, is there any distinction with animals? I strongly suggest that government should give more sex education for children, so that they know how to protest themselves. Meanwhile, government should make laws and rules to guide teachers’ behavior, and severely punish those who break the rules.

  • Sarah Class 16C

    Both teachers and students are common people, why can’t they fall in love with each other? I believe that no matter what he or she does, if they love each other truly and feel happy and blessed, he or she just can be a lover of one another. But, if teacher or student only wants to have a good time and after that it’s “bye-bye”, they should be regret and guilt for their acts.

  • kendra class 4c

    This phenomenon of teacher-student romance is so common that some of our classmates even across such thing. Comparing to teachers, students are easier to love their teacher, as teachers are attractive to students for their wide broad knowledge and charm of teaching. Many people classified this kind of love into the worship, think that it is the performance of immature of students, and teachers should led them into the right way rather than take advantage of them. The attitude to teacher-student love, I think should be dividing into two kinds, not to oppose resolutely.

  • Amy Class12C

    I think,if the teacher and the student who is minor or under 18 age have sex relationship,it is absolutely a crim. Male and female teachers both must obey the laws about teachers and should not encroach the students’ rights. Teachers must learn how to control themselves and persist their moral.If a student falls in love with teacher,the teacher must guide this student a correct way to deal with this vague emotion.There is a long way in the student’s future life.If the teacher hurts the student especially makes something about sex,there is a big wound in the student’s mind and the wound can influence his or her whole life.

  • Gina Class 15C

    In my opinion, it is irresponsible for a teacher to sex with students. First of all, teenagers are not mature enough to consider their whole life and control their behaviors. They even don’t reflect on the consequences of their impulse. But teachers are adults who should know the harm of teacher-student sex. Secondly, teachers are the stronger person at school. Sometimes, it’s easy for them to take advantage of a student. And students are too weak to refuse their teacher. So teachers have a duty and responsibility to protect and teach students. Teaching is a special profession. If a teacher has no responsibility and professional ethic, he/she will make a wrong decision and exert bad influence on the students.

  • Wendy Class 9C

    I regard teacher as a sacred trust and respect all of the teachers greatly all of my days. As we all know, the most important thing for a teacher is to guide his student to learn useful knowledge and skills rather than flirt with them. One of my teacher in my junior high school is my headmaster’s spouse as well as his student before. That is ,we all know ,the teacher-student love. May be there are not a few example like them. However, they are really in love with each other and they married and had children together. I think that is acceptable.
    It’s totally unbelievable for me to hear about a teacher commit sexual harassment to his students. It’s really unacceptable. However, teacher-student sex is truly exist. Not only in high schools and universities, but also in the primary schools. Most of these cases are totally sin. Many students don’t know how to protect themselves and stick up for their rights before and after the tragedy. It’s heartbreaking and worrying.

  • Amber class 11c

    To be honest, every heard of a teacher and his students have sex, often makes me feel very uneasy and fear. No matter between the teacher and students because there is love, or out of motive. Teachers, this has been one believed in the sacred profession, should not and must not be sexually assaulted in his students. This is not only immoral, even evil, unforgivable. Moreover, whether teachers or students, sexual relations between them, there is the crime of their own families. Although we are now increasingly open attitude towards sex in the era, such an approach still can not be accepted. As the text puts it:“It might be a cute love story, but, it’s corny, but being a teacher is a sacred trust, and you have to handle it like that.”
