So, do teachers need Power Point Training, too?
The UK’s Daily Mail, by way of Dan Riehl reports that 24-year-old Amanda Brennan, until recently an English teacher at Foothill High School in Henderson, Nevada was caught cuddling with a 15-year-old boy.
From the Nevada Review Journal;
When confronted by police on Friday , the student said he and Brennan loved each other and had only kissed twice. The teacher said the same in a recorded interview with police, admitting that she knew the relationship was wrong but loved him.
So, is the Department of Education going to require Power Point Presentations for teachers explaining that sex with students is wrong like the Department of Defense is planning on doing? Here’s 13 pages of teachers who have been arrested for having sex with students from WND not including little Amanda. I didn’t bother to count, but if there are at least 10 teachers on each page – that sounds epidemic to me. But, will any of them lead the news in the morning like that one Sergeant First Class lead all of the morning news shows this morning?
It would seem to me that America should be more concerned about scores of teachers preying on our children rather than a couple of people in uniform who are acting foolish with people their own age. But, then, the media likes teachers, so….
I expect to see Joey, the Rock-Climbing Zero, here shortly, to extoll the virtues of teacher-student sex. After all, the teachers are sacrificing for their students.
To be fair, folks would be condemning this if it was a 24-year-old man doing this to a girl. Then again, if it was a male teacher doing it to a boy it would be a “beautiful lifestyle choice.”
As a teacher AND a retired veteran, I am embarrassed by the actions of others in my chosen fields.
I’ve been around high school students for three years now and I don’t see how anyone would WANT to have relations with them! Too much drama, too much gossip, too much immaturity and downright stupidity.
That chick looks horrible, kid had to be squirming to get away from her. He felt powerless I bet.
@4: Most teenaged boys are governed by hormones. Either that or she bought him beer.
True, pimple faced kid caught the eye of a grown woman. He probably felt popular or cool. But she probably kept that on the hush hush. Kiss only relationship, surprised she didnt force him into sex earlier. Alcohol would have accelerated this relationship.
Parents must have been proactive in watching their son’s activity over weeks.
Hey! You can’t control who you love! Well, that’s what we’ve been told for the last few years in defense of gay marriage.
Considering how many women teachers have had inappropriate relations with their underage male students, you can’t dump it off on men or women. It’s on both sexes and they both know it’s wrong, but they do it anyway. It’s been a problem with college professors and their students, especially grad students, for a very long time.
He’s a minor. She’s an adult. It’s statutory rape. She’s now a pedophile. End of story.
No, I don’t feel sorry for her. And I seriously wonder how many kids are actually safe from this kind of behavior in teachers.
Barstool Sports covers everyone of them, and then creates a lineup, like in baseball.

Next we’ll be hearing about the Teachers’ Union demanding an apology from the accusers!
Put them all in jail and throw away the keys.
Watch, some AcLU lawyer will team up with a labor lawyer and get this explained away as benefits…
It looks like she needs a good dermatologist…..
Teachers now-a-days want to buddy up with their students and be their friends instead of being teachers and role models like they were once considered. Naturally with that mindset, things will likely get bent.
Yeah, if we have all endured countless hours of .ppt presentations, then I suppose they should too. /sarc/
WND’s numbers are actually at 247 predators pretending to be teachers. Just for the record.
Geez, my teachers were almost exclusively old maids…no 24 year old female teachers wanting to bang a 16-18 year old who knew how to keep a secret in my day….
I had to wait until I was at Ft. Benning before I found a nice older woman to love me up for a while….
I know she’s a pedophile and will do jail time but when I was a horny teenager in the early 70s I would have kept this secret until my grave just to get a nice look and touch…
Yes, the media like teachers. Teachers do everything ‘for the children.’ Hey, the education system is feeding kids, indoctrinating and, sometimes teaching, them, counseling them, helping them set goals for life, instructing them on all manner of things previously reserved for parents, providing aftercare, dental check-ups, requiring kids to log volunteer hours, and, no doubt, many other things I have omitted and to greater or lesser degrees, depending on the state or locality. So, why not teacher/student practicums in sex?
VOV: van Halen fan, perhaps? (smile)
@19 Long time fan my friend…
I do admit to being shocked to find out that Alex is 60 this month….although I shouldn’t be surprised as I am getting closer to that number every year myself…and I was never a Van Hagar fan, I like Sammy, but even with all his odd little faults Roth was the right front man at the right place and the right time for that to hit hard….
