I hear and read all of these things, but never, ever when I was in Junior High School or High School, did I have a good looking teacher hit on me. To my knowledge, (and I am pretty sure I would know!) none of these good looking women who are being charged around our Nation, ever hit on anyone in the Class of 1975; (or 72-73-74-76-77-78).
As far as homosexual teachers.....I doubt that too. I never witnessed anything like that.
