And the young lady, what responsibility is she being asked to own up to? Sorry. But a 15 year old girl knows the difference between proper and improper.

Very true, but the teacher also knew how improper a relationship was.

They are both in the wrong.

Oh I agree. I just don't like this picture that he's this lecherous Sir Darcy looming over Sweet Gwendolyn. A fifteen year old has enough sense of proper and improper, to know this was wrong.

My 5th grader just started the saxaphone and is in chorus...I think i'm going to have to pull her out of band by the time she hits HS and send her to the conservatory of music...seems like a new prerequisit for graduating school with a degree to teach kids how to play in the band is Molesting 101! I know it happens in all subjects, people are people...there was a coach in my old school that is currently married to a former student...and their relationship started in HS.....it just seems crazy how all of the people caught lately seem to be band or chorus teachers! I still can't wrap my mind around WANTING to be with a 15 yr old...AS and ADULT!

Ironic how things come true. When I basically lived in Lititz, from 2002 thru 2005 and some of 2006 I heard so much of this sort of thing went on over the High School. Ie, the Softball Coach incident and the beginning murmurs of the Sheerer controversey and I just thought of it as "Peyton Place" gossip. I really couldn't believe what I heard , or didn't want to. Then again I heard things on the street , in the shops and all about town in regards to the woman I dated in Lititz and didn't believe them either. What a town!
