I think what he'll miss is entering a relationship with a girl nearer to his age......taking it slowly....learning about each other and learning together.....
He's probably been taught it all by Miss....maybe.... and I wouldn't have liked that in a boyfriend....
Maybe I'm just a daft romantic......but those days were lovely.....x

Sqad - // Tilly....of course she should......but we all have human failings...don't we? I know i do.
But 8 months in jail? //
Yes, because that is what the law says.
And you know as well as I do that 'human failings' are not an excuse or a reason to break the law. If they are, I want all my parking and speeding fine payments back!

andy-hughes "I repeat - the economic situation of the individuals involved is not an issue in terms of guilt and punishment. It may appear to be that way - obviously to you it does, but that does not make it a fact"
The justice system is riddled with inequality, the rich always get an easy ride, everyone knows that. The dangerous junkie student got away with it because judges don't jail those of their own social status.

You certainly inferred that the sentence was harsh - in keeping with your view that this was all a bit of a laugh, and making the boy a man, and similarly unreconstructed views to which, of course you are entitled, but you do appear to think that the sentence is unduly lengthy in terms of the offence.
If you see the offence as a lad being taught the facts of life by an experienced older woman, and good luck to him, then the offence is not really an offence at all, just happy good fortune for him.
If, as I do, you see this as abuse of a child by an adult in a position of trust and responsibility, then the sentence is entirely justified.
We must agree to differ on this one.

My belief is that the judge sentenced incorrectly, but I believe it was based on the circumstances of the case, rather than the bank balance of the defendant.

Interesting...in your first paragraph you describe the pupil as a "lad" BUT in you second paragraph you describe the same individual as a "child."
Child/Lad.....Lad/child......emphasis your point of view.
However enough of my nit picking......I agree, we need to agree to differ in our opinions.

//"based on the circumstances of the case"
Yet another excuse by the judiciary...//
I was under the impression that when it came to sentencing, "the circumstances of the case" have always been relevant. The law provides a range of sentences; the judge uses the circumstances of the case to determine what sentence within that range is most appropriate.
Calling it "an excuse by the judiciary" is pretty bizarre, really, and betrays a misunderstanding of the role of judges.

Khandro - // Lad/ child , Child /Lad At 15 it's time to get on with it, and if you can have it off with you teacher - how cool is that? //
I am sure I am meant to explode in a paroxysm of outrage, but your pointless provocation is far too in-subtle to merit any response, because you are not looking to offer a view or add to the debate, merely stir and agitate.
So, no change there.
