Topic : 06/12 Teacher Sex Scandal, Part 1

I think its disgusting and horrific that this abuse is happening in our world. Whether the teacher is a female or male they have manipulated their positon as a teacher by faking their role as a teacher who is supposed to be there for their students in academic wise, teaching them and preparing them for further studies and for the future that lies ahead whether they choose to go to university or just simply choose to work.  Instead they try and most succeed to gain and pursue their sexual fantasies. Shouldnt those teachers who commit this grossly act be classified as pedophiles ?

I BELIEVE that such predators should be publicly listed as parents can be  made aware of their behaviour so we can protect our children from falling into their mind playing, manipulative, seductive traps if should the law let us down and release them on some good behaviour bond or some form of community services instead of serving a resonable jail term for their crime. As a mother of 3, i would certainly be wary of any teacher that teaches my child and would want a full police check to be done and presented to each family of the students before they commence that year of school regardless what grade they are in.

Apparently not everyone knows these boys because it is obvious that you do not.  I know each of these boys and their families.  My children went to school with them and I consider them to be truthful and trust-worthy.  Has anyone thought about the fact that she married her high school science teacher shortly after her own graduation?  It seems that a teacher/student relationship didn't bother her then.  Makes you think, doesn't it?

Lets see Boy # 1 recanted his story b/c he is a LIAR!

Boy # 2 is a sad, pathetic MAMA'S BOY who failed the lie detector test and as we found out at the end of part 2, this "good Christian" boy has decided maybe he had more sex with her and forgot about it. B.S. more like mommy started to freak out b/c she believed his lies, his reputation is on the line and he had to say something to the millions of ppl who saw him FAIL the test. If he is being honest and Glen Rose where he resides is so small then why is he hiding and why did mommy say he can't show his face. So COWARDLY LIAR.

Next we have MATT, the COCKY, ARROGANT LIAR, he thought he could go on T.V. and further his lies. HMMM....as others have said NO MAN FORGETS HIS FIRST OR LAST BLOW JOB, so enough with his inconsistent lies. This little punk was probably jerking it her every night wrote a little poem and when he was caught had to make himself out to be the poor innocent kid. Also, I do not go screaming from the hill tops that I am Christian( I am Catholic and I do not think it makes me a better person), yet this punk does. Well, let me point out this "good, stand up, Christian" boy admitted to having sex with 1 woman already at the age of 16. At 16 I was a virgin, so it strikes me as odd that someone who had already had sex at the age of 16, would go playing the "I'm a Christian" card.

Now on to all those claiming that since Joelle married her highschool science teacher she was abused...he didn't look THAT much older than her. If she was say 16 or 17 and it was his first or second year teaching then I hardly call that abuse. These days we act like a 16yr old is a 6yr old and can't be held accountable for their actions. I am NOT saying that teacher/student relationships are a positive thing BUT in the past they were not as big of a deal b/c ppl didn't act like a 16 or 17yr old was incapable of making decisions. I know in the 1970's it wasn't frowned upon, my fave teacher in highschool had dated a student of his in the '70's and it was not abuse. Lets not throw the word around that only takes away its meaning, if an individual is being abused that is one thing BUT a senior(like Joelle was) entering a concentual relationship with a teacher of 24 is another. AGAIN, not saying its ok but saying there is a difference between "abuse" and a "taboo" relationship.

Joelle is CLEARLY innocent and her life has been uprooted and destroyed, do these "trust-worthy, Christian" boys have ANY idea of what they have done? I don't think so and SHAME on them and SHAME on the posters who have gone on about being from Glen Rose and how these are "trust worthy" boys from good, well respected families! You are as bad as those little PUNKS, covering up their lies b/c it wouldn't look very good if so and so's son had willingly participated in such activity. WAKE UP!!!! It NEVER happened those boys are LIARS, protected by their HYPOCRITICAL, PROMINANT PARENTS, the town is jumping on the band wagon its mob mentality plain and simple(no offense to those members of the town who are willing to look at the information presented and see that these boys are liars) and it is all together disgusting!

The word of a few little punks is trumping the word of a well respected teacher and it is nothing short of sickening! I hope Joelle sues the school board for all she can, I hope the boys and their parents have to pay hefty fines for her financial and emotional trouble AND above all else I hope the TRUTH comes out for once and all; I hope all 3 of those boys(yes I am including the moron who lied and then took it back) have to live with the shame.... nice to see them knocked off their pedestal!

Teachers are NOT paid nearly enough for all they are responsible for, they educate the next generation and at times it seems to be a thankless job. Heaven forbid they become friends with the kids b/c then they are vulnerable to lies and rumours(like in this case) and if they are stern then the kids hate them. It takes one angry kid to make one up one lie and that teacher's career, reputation and life are destroyed.

Parents remember YOUR kid  may grow up to be a teacher and think how awful it would be for them to have their career ripped away b/c of malicious lies, lets remember kids DO lie for many reasons(for fun, to stay out of trouble, to help a friend) and last lets keep in mind that your 17yr old while still a minor will be going off to college where he/she will be treated like and expected to act like an adult, prepare him or her by holding up a higher standard. If your kids have Christian values and are approaching adulthood then don't treat them like they are 6yr olds! IF and I say IF b/c those boys are lying beyond a shadow of a doubt, IF those boys had engaged in sexual activity with their teacher then why weren't the parents upset with their "good, trust-worthy, Christian" sons? They were old enough to know right from wrong, none of them seemed traumatized(Matt gloated and wrote a poem) and they all claimed they "knew" it was wrong but were "confused"...about what, how they got so lucky? The boys will be boys or they were innocent or they didn't know any better really doesn't fly when they are acting like martyrs yet admitting to already being sexually active(Matt), just plain lying(boy who recanted) or hiding their face and behind their mommy and their religion.  IF it had happened and they KNEW(as they claimed) it was wrong then a simple no and a talk with the principal would have settled it; That was NOT the case! These boys lied and on the off chance that I am dead wrong then they enjoyed every second UNTIL mommy found out then they contrived their little stories. To believe these boys is irresponsible, Matt even said "I didn't feel molested" well their is the proof in the pudding this is not a situation in which the teacher physically or emotionally over powered a student. They lied BUT if their story was true then they are just as guilty b/c they didn't feel molested, they knew it was wrong and still did it!

Joelle go gett'em!!!!! Boys, since you're so religious May God have mercy on your soul, you lying punks and may this all come back to bite you in the ass!

Teachers connect with students. And though the notes do seem iffy out of context , as a teacher I must say...you don't spend your days interacting thinking would a jury consider this and indication of guilt. Now that I look back there probably are some interactions...hugs, copliments, gifts etc...that although truly harmless, would be used against me I am certain if a student decided to let ther imagination and mouth go to far...these guys got in a way over their head...the lie took on a life of its own and now she's paying. A note does not indicate sexual conduct....trust me. As far as her composure...Dr. Phil and that boy are lucky she didn't do exactly what I would have done which is reach over and slap the lies out of his mouth for putting her family in danger of loosing a mother and a wife. Shame on that punk.
