<quoted text>Obviously you didn't read the article. He was not at all interested in the teacher.( He made that clear ) This was an assignment, a creative writing assignment. He had done similar ones with the same teacher and gotten a's on them. If this teacher was not comfortable with certain subject matters in creative writing then she should have said something. Don't hand out A's then suddenly start reporting.

Your right I didn't read the article, I offered an opinion as to what I thought based on the context of what was in the beginning forum post.
If he had clearly wrote similar ones beforehand, maybe the teacher was not equipped to offer a reaction, some people are timid and shy no matter what line of work they're in, until they feel very uncomfortable or threatened. But it would appear if that's the facts then the teacher was out of line for making a big deal out of an ongoing situation, that she didn't take control of & nip it in the bud right from the get go.

Wouldn't you like to read his essays? All 3 of them? That might give us an idea of what finally spooked the young female teacher.
Just like Trayvon's case - we only hear one side.

As much as I think it is in poor taste for the man to write anything titled " Hot Teacher" and then described something that could be interpretative of the very teacher who is teaching the class, it doesn't change my opinion. The bottom line is that this is a COLLEGE course in creative writing and the man was doing an assignment for that course. If the man had used any other title... Hot Waitress, for instance, the teacher would have probably given him another A and not thought twice about it. But because of her own insecurities she projected the subject matter onto herself and decided without even asking the student. That is just plain wrong and inexcusable.
