Because you are supposed to be a professional with some common sense. What good would come out of hooking up with a student besides awkwardness, public humiliation, questions of fairness, maybe a kid??

Thank you for injecting some rational, non-testosterone-generated thoughts into the discussion...

Seriously???

The fact that some of you can't seem to wrap your mind around how inappropriate a teacher/student sexual relationship is, is troubling to say the least.

I think you took my question wrong. I agree with your statements.

I was making an arguement that someone in control could be using that power illegally.

And the No-Fun police have arrived.:policeman::cry:

I can appreciate the humorous comments. It is the ones where people appear void of critical thinking skills, that I had problems with. Some of the comments didn't seem like people were joking. My bad if I took them the wrong way.

Washington Appeals Court agrees with you!

Many others have posted that this woman should lose her job, but NOT be charged criminally. Question is, do you have a lawsuit for improper termination if legally you have done nothing wrong?

I would remove that word, personally as it clouds the meaning.

calling in sick for 10 straight days doesn't break the law, but is that proper ground for dismissal?

I recently found out that my neighbors growing up met in high school. He was the teacher and she was a student. Been married for 30+ years with four kids.

Companies/organizations can establish a code of conduct and reasons for termination and the reasons for termination do not need to involve the criminal code.

For example, many companies consider using the internet on company time to view porn to be a cause for termination yet those actions may not be a criminal violation as long as underage models are not viewed.

I agree with you 100%; however, in our lawsuit happy society, this court ruling stinks of future litigation. We don't need that.
