What is the significance of this in light of what this teacher is being accused of?
Many teenagers don't like the fact that they have restrictions. Some teenagers would ask for all sorts of things if they think adults will give it to them. Some teenagers would ask for shots of tequila if they thought an adult would give it to them; some teenagers would ask to drive the car without a drivers license and with no one with a drivers license in the car if they thought an adult would give that to them; some teenagers would ask for oral sex if they thought an adult would give it to them. The fact of the matter remains that there is a legal drinking age; legal age at which teens can get drivers licenses and drive cars all by themselves; and an age of informed consent.
Period.
