That Bird situation with the teacher was deep. CT4, my youngest brother is the same way as you. He is a very young looking male teacher, and he teaches high school and the girls love being around him. One thing that he does not do is ever find himself in a situation where he is alone with a female student. Some of these young girls today are scandalous, plus he is 6'6" and like I said everyone actually male and female students love being around him or in his class. He has sense enough to know not to ever cross that line of teacher and student.

When I was student teaching, I was given some good advice: Never be alone with a student. Now there have been times that I have taken a couple of students home or out to eat but I believe God gives you a spirit of discernment and I have learned to discern who I can take home or out to eat, etc. Plus whenever I did that in the past, we called a parent and told them from jump.

But I have never been one to think a student is cute AND act on it. I give my students compliments all the time (because that might be the only one they get all day from an adult) but I never say, "OOO BOY I want you."

It is tough enough being a teacher without having the stigma of being a molester attached to your resume.

Overall I really liked the story line.
