Where were these teachers when I was a kid?

In tenth grade, one of my high school football coaches had to marry a girl in that year's senior class to avoid legal complications. He was only 22 and in his first year of teaching/coaching. The girl was 18. His status as a teacher was what got him in hot water. If the same romance had taken place a year later, there would have been nothing said. That was over 30 years ago.

During my first year as an educator eighteen years ago, an English teacher at the school I worked at was known to host parties at her house with students and rumors abounded that she was hooking up with at least one of her students. She was in her late 20's/early 30's.

Neither situation resulted in arrests. That would definitely not be the case today.
