Admit it, while we act shocked, we all love reading those stories about student/teacher affairs. One of my favorites is the Pamela Smart story from back in the early 90’s. Pam gets her 15 year old boyfriend, Billy Flynn, to murder Pam’s husband. I’ve probably watched the “True Crime” version 8 times on the Oxygen channel.

Mary Kay - Isn't She Adorable? Wish I could have "had" a teacher like her!
I like that one the best because of all the female teachers who get caught with students, Pam is one of the few that seems really guilty of a crime. For example, does anyone really think Mary Kay Letourneau was guilty of anything except being an emotional/mental wreck?
Bottom line, I always feel sorry for the female teacher.
Maybe, just maybe, one of the reasons that I feel so supportive of the female teachers is that once upon a time, in a land far far away, I too had an affair with my female teacher. I was probably 14-15 and she was in her mid-20’s. Yes, she was an adult in a position of authority over a minor but . . . a crime . . . really? I just don’t see it.
She was married and straight – totally straight when we met and totally straight after our affair ended. I look back and all I see was a vulnerable young teacher being flattered by attention from a popular kid at her high school. She didn’t know that I was a lesbian. She just knew that she felt a very strong attraction to me. But I’m not surprised, in my youth, many straight girls and women seemed to have a strong attraction to me. AND I LOVED IT! I took advantage of it every chance I got. I was one of those high schoolers who got more tail (always older straight females) than a toilet seat kind of kids and I had the confidence of a no tooth hooker. (Some days I can’t go out of the house because I look a little fat. A no tooth hooker not only goes out – but she has the balls to actually ask for money for some of that.)
I wonder what my ex-teacher thinks every time she watches the news or reads the paper or a magazine or a story on the Internet describing a female teacher going to jail for having sex with a student?
I think that whoever turned her in is a rotten stinking rat fink.
