Literally. To add to the list of a teacher having an affair with a student, here is one that really takes the cake. A student in Konxville Tennesse had sex with a married 30-year old teacher was shot by the teacher's husband.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In a tragic twist to a familiar story, a teenager who had sex with his married 30-year-old teacher was fatally shot outside the woman's home, and authorities have charged the woman's husband."You see all this stuff with teachers involved with their students. It just comes up time after time on the national news," said Norman McLean, father of suspect Eric McLean. But this time, he said, someone "actually died over it. More Here...
I watched the husband's admission of shooting the kid on TV during his interview with Matt Lauer on the TODAY show. He was clearly distraught and still in denial of how his life turned out. After he found out about the affair he still wanted to work things out. Except things turned out otherwise. Now he'd probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
A murder is a murder is a murder but I want to know the wife's responsibility in this issue. Oh I'm sure she is regretting the day she even met the kid but she is another one of those women who gives decent women like us a bad name. Superwomen aims to support and root for our fellow women, mothers and parents but we can't deny the fact that these kinds of unfortunate situations are all of a sudden a reality we have to add on our worry list.
I would like to know how this mother will answer her kids when they ask her why Daddy is not coming home? Because he shot a man, my darlings. But why did he do that Mom?.
Erin McLean has moved in with relatives in Nashville with the couple's two young sons, ages 11 and 7. She has not been charged with any wrongdoing. Police say she has hired a lawyer but could not provide a name.
Yeah Mom, why? I know the father committed a criminal act here but let's not forget that sometimes a good man can only take too much. Now he and their kids will have to live with the consequences of what the wife created in the first place. Sorry, but that's just my opinion. What's yours?

Hi Alicia, thanks for stopping by and commenting :).
I do agree that we don't really know 100% what really went on. As for the "giving us a bad name" bit, I also agree with you there. but I can't help but worry about the reputation of our Teachers these days because of all the other cases that have been put in the light through the years. The Teacher-Student affair list keeps growing.
I also have a problem with how a Woman teacher seems to be getting lighter sentences wherein if it was a Male Teacher, let's face it, it's another story.
I may have been quick to judge this woman, fact is fact, she had an affair with a student. Not only did she disrespect her marriage by doing that, she did with a student. I have a son and I wouldn't wanna be worrying about a Teacher in his school doing the same thing. The mere thought of it just sickens me. Mary Kay Letourno comes in mind. Once she served her sentence, some entertainment show paid for her wedding to the boy she went to jail for in the first place. Now what kind of world do we live in?.
Thanks again for coming here and hope you come back often with your comments. :)

Well, we don't actually know that the husband was a "good man" - of course, whether he was "good" or "bad" can't be the excuse for her affair, but many women (and men) are driven to do things like this (have an affair, age not relevant to my point right now) because of abuse, neglect, unhappiness for whatever reason. Obviously, leaving the relationship is better than cheating, but, people deal differently. We never know what really goes on in peoples' heads, lives, etc. And a few news appearances here and there can not possibly give us insight to his, or her, character.
I *heard* the student was 18 - I can't back that up as I have no links of proof of it and finding out was only through word-of-mouth, but if he was indeed 18, this would be why she hasn't been charged with anything. 18 is the standard age of consent in America (some states are lower, but 18 is the highest). She could probably be charged with something like "abuse by a custodian," since he was technically under her supervision (I think?), but I think that's as far as it can go.
No woman nor her actions has the power to give any other woman a bad name. If you're a "decent" woman, your actions - your life, your decisions, your beliefs, etc. - speak for themselves. As women, we don't need the actions of other women to solidify who we are or how we "look." And any narrowminded individual who would categorize all women based on the mistakes some women have made is not an individual whose opinion you should care about, anyway.
When I first heard about this situation, I immediately thought, "I'm going to pray for this woman." Regardless of the affair and what it led to and how that makes any of us feel, she's facing some mighty big mental, spiritual, and emotional things to deal with - for the rest of her life, I'm sure. And she's going to suffer that whether or not the world "stones" her. I think many of us are too quick to form an opinion about situations like this before we really sit down and think about everything that goes into making the big picture.
