Teacher Caught in Sex Scandal
The Shalampax School Board released a terse statement yesterday stating that it had terminated the employment of one of its teachers for having had sex with one of her students. The school board refused to disclose the teacher’s name because of possible legal ramifications and because it did not want the teacher’s voice mail to be overwhelmed with pleading calls from horny men.
The student, whose name was also withheld for privacy reasons, was a 17-year-old, grade-eight pupil. He was one of the youngest in his class of 27 students.
A source at the school board who agreed to speak with me only on the condition of anonymity says there is considerably more to the story than what appeared in the statement.
According to her, the school board originally merely reprimanded the teacher, saying that her dalliance with her pupil was inappropriate, but not worthy of her dismissal. Rumors suggest that the school board decided on a harsher punishment only after receiving numerous vociferous complaints from the boy’s father.
My source said that the rumors about the father’s complaints are true. The father groused that, “I never got sexual favors from my teacher when I was in school. Why should my son be given benefits that were denied to me? It’s not fair!”
The teacher offered to sleep with the father to make it up to him, but he said it was too late for that. His feelings were already hurt beyond repair.
However, my source says that the rumors concerning the reason for the teacher’s dismissal are false. It was not the father’s complaints that changed the minds of the members of the school board. Instead, after careful consideration they realized how unfair the teacher’s behavior was to her student and to his classmates. The teacher should have conducted herself in a manner that did not abuse her position of trust and that did not place her in a situation where she would be unable to view all of her students’ achievements and respond to all of their academic needs in an objective, equitable way.
According to my source, the school board decided that, in order to maintain an environment that embraced fairness and equality, the teacher should either have had sexual relations with all of her students or none of them.
Because the school term is almost over and the teacher shows no inclination to sleep with the six students she hasn’t yet taken to her bed, it was felt that she would not live up to this obligation. Fortunately, the teacher is bisexual. Otherwise, an even higher percentage of her students would likely have been discriminated against.
Under the circumstances, the school board felt that it had no alternative but to fire the teacher.
