Bad Teacher

Perusing the news, I discovered this story:

A 25-year old Georgia teacher is facing charges that she had sex with two students and sent explicit images to four others….The now-suspended teacher, who was also a football operations manager, allegedly romped with a boy in his car at a golf course — just a day after she’s accused of having sex with another student in a classroom closet and in a Hummer. She is also accused of sexting other teens about the sex acts she fantasized over — even using a sex toy during video calls with at least two teens under 16. She allegedly also sent nudes to a girl and encouraged her to watch Fifty Shades of Grey.

The educator taught biology and certainly evidenced a keen interest in both male and female anatomy and the mechanics of sexual reproduction. The story concluded on this note:

She graduated from Liberty University, a private evangelical Christian school linked with the Southern Baptist Convention, where students are expected “to abstain from sexual activity outside of a biblically ordained marriage.”

(The same Liberty University whose former president was forced to resign after it was revealed that he enjoyed watching his wife have sex with a pool boy.)

Such behavior certainly isn’t confined to the “godless” public schools I was shielded from. Here is far from extensive list of the female teachers in religious schools who provided hands-on sex education:

• A 34-year-old English teacher at a private Christian school dedicated to preparing “godly leaders” was recently arrested for “taking indecent liberties” with one of her students.
• A married 35-year-old math teacher at a school founded to provide “traditional Christian education” had sex with two of her male students. (She was caught after one of them showed off the topless photos she had sent him on Snapchat to a classmate.)
• A 34-year-old director of student leadership at a Christian high school also sent nude photos over Snapchat to a female student, engaged in phone sex with her, then had sex with the student in her van on numerous occasions.
• A 42-year-old teacher (and mother of four) who taught at a Catholic high school was caught having sex in a car with a 17-year-old student after having sex with a 16-year-old boy at her home and in the press box of the school’s football field.
• A Christian school in Georgia was forced to close after a 15-year old student repeatedly had sex with two of his female teachers.

Then there was the teacher at a Bible camp who had carnal knowledge of a 13-year-old boy she met at camp. (She regularly picked him up after school for sexual encounters.)

As in the case of the lusty Bible camp teacher, many of these teachers are pretty hot, the stuff of a 13-year old boy’s wet dream. Such was the case with “Miss Singer,” my eighth grade English teacher. With with her unruly blonde hair and flowing skirts, she was unusually Bohemian for my Christian school. But that may have added to her appeal. I couldn’t articulate it at the time, but there was something unmistakably erotic about her. (And despite her modest attire, I definitely noticed her rack.) By this time I was already initiated into purity culture, so I felt great shame at the not infrequent erections I sported in her class. (I also hoped she didn’t spot the bulges protruding from my slacks.) I knew precious little about sex, but my adolescent imagination entertained fantasies about committing the sin of fornication on top of a naked Miss Singer.
