What is it with teachers these days? I mean: since when has it become a fashion for hot teachers to tutor boys in their free time and give them some extra 'sex education'? About two weeks ago we had a scandal in Holland were a school administratrator got caught in action with a 16-year old boy (I mean: literaly caught: the photos roamed the Dutch part of the Internet). And now we have this case of some 34-year old teacher from Delaware who is being accused of statuatory rape of a 13-year old boy (guess he got jeleaous?). Allegdly they did 'it' 28 times in one week. The boys father caught on because he though it was suspicious that the teacher called his son so much. Now, the problem with cases like this is: when a male teacher gets a relationship with an underage pupil, everyone really sees it as 'rape'. If an underage boy has sex with an adult teacher they do not see him as a victim. I must say that - speaking for myself - it would have been a wet dream come true if something like that happened when I was young. However: psychologist tend to think it is actually harmfull because, in their eyes, there is no equality in this kind of relationship. Personally, I think this depends on the case: I have seen 13 year olds that act and look like they are 16, and 20-year olds that act like they are 13.
If convicted, the teacher could face 20 years in prison for each of 28 rape charges and would be required to register as a sex offender. Court papers say she confessed to having intercourse with the boy 27 times and performing oral sex on him once, and said she made fake calls to the boy's parents, pretending to be the mother of one of his friends inviting him for a sleepover.
And there have been (and are) many - more or less - high profile cases in the US, the UK and Australia. One of them is the Debra Lafave case, that made the headlines (the photo with this blog is actually her!). I wonder if this is of all times or if it is something relatively new?
Anyhow: It made me all think of this cool Van Halen song from the '80's.
Hot For Teacher (Van Halen)
(Words by Van Halen)
Oh, wow, man, I said
Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
Fuck man!
Uh!
Oh yeah!
T-T-teacher stop that screamin'
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doing well
Teacher needs to see me after school
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
Ow! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!
Hey, I heard you missed us
We're back! (Hey!)
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man!
Whoa
Uh!
Ooo-oo-ooo
I heard about your lessons
but lessons are so cold
I didn't know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn
How can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
Whoa! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!
Whoa!
(Guitar Solo)
Oh man, I think the clock is slow

Class dismissed!
Ooh-yeah!
I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,

I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
