Army Post Road

I was watching the news and they were talking about the recent rash of women teachers that have been caught sleeping with their students, and one of the pundits suggested that the students should be “held accountable.”  For what?!  I cannot see at all what these students did wrong at all.  There are the moral issues to the matter but if the kids assume responsibility for whatever possible pregnancies, there is not one single conceivable thing that these students, male or female, are culpable for.  The teachers are absolutely liable for whatever statutory rape crimes their state wants to prosecute them for but really, what have these students done wrong?  Unless these students are raping their teachers, which there is the case of that missing teacher in Georgia where they think that might be the case somewhat, the state and the schools have no standing whatsoever to punish these students.  Their parents? Yes.  Public authorities? Not at all.  It just annoyed me that anyone would be so disingenuous as to attack these students when they would have most likely done the same thing if they had been presented with the same situation when they were in high school. 

Now that I've had my soapbox moment, it's time to head out and get something to eat before I go to work for 10 hours (Yes folks, that's 10 hours of pure overtime pay; the silver lining to working on a holiday).

P.S. You know how much my heart skipped when a plastic bag was in front of my sub and I thought it was the sound of my sub being totally ripped to shreds?
