They were still around.
lol, holy shit, I've literally had to explain this 5x on this forum.
Nothing has changed. There isn't some "hot woman teacher banging boy student" epidemic going on. The hot teachers haven't changed. This is still an extremely rare occurrence. Given the amount of hot women teachers and boy student interactions that occur on the daily, it's actually significantly less likely than getting hit by lightning.
Technology has changed and it has made things seem like they happen more often than they do because the media hones in on every single one of these stories for ratings and to push narratives that drum up emotion... which, again, draws ratings.
Want me to prove a point to you?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_strike
"According to the NOAA,
over the last 20 years, the United States averaged 51 annual lightning strike fatalities, placing it in the second position, just behind floods for deadly weather.[11][12] In the US, between 9% and 10% of those struck die,[13] for an average of 40 to 50 deaths per year (28 in 2008).[14]"
50 people die in the United States every single year due to being hit by lightning.
Ask yourself...
1) How many people do you know that have been hit by lightning AND died from it? Zero, oh, that's what I thought.
Now also ask yourself...
2) If the media covered, on a national level, every single time a lightning strike killed someone... would your ass would be terrified to go outside during inclement weather? Yeah. You would. Know why? That's once a week that a new story would break. Once a week, they'd be up there telling you that "YET ANOTHER PERSON HAS DIED TO A LIGHTNING STRIKE! IT... HAPPENED... AGAIN!!!!" because once a week... in the United States... someone dies from a lightning strike.
It's beyond statistically irrelevant and insignificant. You're letting the media think for you. Good luck with life.
I will say this, to play devil's advocate against myself... in addition to technology leading to media being more ratings driven and narrative pushing than ever, technology has also probably resulted in an increased frequency of occurrence in these situations. It must be so much easier for a woman wanting to bang her student to reach out to them directly because the kids now have easy ways to privately contact them while at home via cell phones, email and Facebook.
