That is disgusting. If a male teacher suggested such a thing he'd be drawn and quartered. Sick. 

At this point in time, I think any teacher would be crucified for suggesting such a thing.  This was on the order of fifty years ago.  Times have changed, and in this case for the better.  I found it disgusting at the time.  First, it was outside my conservative upbringing.  Second, I was still trying to understand my own own sexuality, and I was essentially asexual in practice.  Given earlier knowledge of what was going on, I would have dropped the class immediately.

well i'm not sure why, but i often read about female teachers having it away with 15 yr boys ... but they are never punished really.  Men on the other hand .. are treated much worse.

I was just going to say that, but you’re too quick for me, A.

I told you all that the model I use for one of my characters lives in Isreal. The is insane...

I need to remember this the next time I think I'm having a bad day.

Interesting to note, I just started reading a story and one of the MC’s is a young man named Tim. I’m finding my mind being tripped up by the capital T. It seems wrong to spell it that way...there’s just something about “tim” that is just right and as it should be.

A careful study would be required, and over time.  One data point I know concerning male teachers is 25 years in the past concerning a local HS teacher/coach who got away with quite a bit with female students.  Everything was swept under the rug when the administration got suspicious, and he quietly quit and went on to another career.  It all came out when he was accused of raping one of his employees and more of his former students came forward.  The only data point I have for female HS teachers with male students is also local but very old, and it supports your hypothesis.  However, my situation was at the college level, and I wonder if the level of tolerance would be different both then and now since one is dealing with (presumably) consenting adults.

however being told your grades would be/could have been better if you 'worked something out' doesn't sound quite right.  sounds like the casting couch to me.  i know a lot about trading sex for a lot of things, money, drugs, food, a bed ... there's a name for that and in most places it's not legal, at the very least it is sexual harassment.

tomfoolery    noun | tahm-FOO-luh-ree

Definition

: playful or foolish behavior

 

 

In the Middle Ages, Thome Fole was a name assigned to those perceived to be of little intelligence. This eventually evolved into the spelling tomfool, which, when capitalized, also referred to a professional clown or a buffoon in a play or pageant. The name Tom seems to have been chosen for its common-man quality, much like Joe Blow for an ordinary person or Johnny Reb for a soldier in the Confederate army, but tomfoolery need not apply strictly to actions by men. In Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables (1908), for example, Marilla Cuthbert complains of Anne: "She's gadding off somewhere with Diana, writing stories or practicing dialogues or some such tomfoolery, and never thinking once about the time or her duties."
