    We have been given free-will. This sounds to me like a lapse in judgement. Why do people have to judge this person. They should be offering support so she can move past this. We all make mistakes, it's what we do with our lives after a situation that shows whether we have grown.

    I'm confused, how do the actions of someone now reflect on the school they attended? Many of these posts are completely off the subject. The rantings sound suspiciously like students who have been disciplined by a school, maybe even this one, in the past and are looking for support for slander and gossip.

    I also went to school here for 9 years, and I hated every minute of it - BUT that doesn't mean that I had "cold thoughts or weird ideas." Sounds like you need to get some professional help sweetie and talk to your parents about what you're feeling because that's not normal!! It can be a little clique-ish; let's say if you're not as religious as the rest, or your parents don't get into gossiping with the other parents then they can be shunned. But you have to realize that I'm 23 now and more successful then everyone I went to that school with. Their snobby attitude comes from a place of insecurity.

    Las Vegas Sun: Arrest report: Teacher knew relationship with student ‘was wrong’ (May 14 2013)

    The relationship between a 24-year-old Las Vegas area high school teacher and a 15-year-old male student involved about 1,000 cell phone text messages over an eight-day period but resulted in them kissing "only two times." That's what it says on the declaration of arrest report for Amanda Brennan, a Foothill High School English teacher who was arrested Friday on two counts of luring a child and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The report also says that when Brennan was interviewed after being read her Miranda rights, she told police she did love the boy "and she knew the relationship was wrong."

    ...

    According to the report, the parents told a police detective they first learned of the relationship Wednesday night when the boy asked if he could go to the movies with some friends his mother didn't know. The mother then talked to the security guard at their residential area, and the guard told her Brennan's name and age. The mother told the detective she and her husband then became "concerned that there may be something more going on." The mother told the detective she and her husband didn't give permission to the teacher to pick up her son and didn't have any knowledge the teacher was taking her son anywhere. They told the detective Brennan picked up the boy about 9 p.m. and then returned him home about 11:45 p.m. – past his 10 p.m. curfew.

    What is it about this case that is attracting so much attention? I can only think of one other thread that attracted so much attention (and a lot more!) so quickly, and she actually had sex with two her students. These two just kissed & cuddled once or twice, just a movie date with a bad age mismatch, lots of texting but no sexting reported. :rolleyes: She needs to get her head screwed on straight & find a guy her own age, but the attention seems way out of proportion to the allegations.

    UK Daily Mail: Teacher, 24, busted in 'kissing and spooning only' relationship with her 15-year-old male student (May 15 2013)

    A 24-year-old high school teacher from Nevada has been arrested for allegedly dating one of her male students - but police do not believe the illicit tryst went beyond kissing. Amanda Brennan, who taught English at Foothill High School in Henderson, told police that she knew it was wrong to carry on a relationship with a teenager, but she loved the boy and did it anyway, according to an arrest report ... He told authorities that he and Brennan loved each other and had kissed twice, although they'd only cuddled in the back of her car on the night he went out without his parents' permission. Officials also found 1,000 text messages between the boy and Brennan's number during a nine-day period before her arrest ... The boy's mother ... called the security guard at their housing complex and requested the name of the person admitted for her home address, who turned out to be Brennan. The boy's parents then pulled their son's iPhone records, which included numerous calls and hundreds of text messages exchanged between the teen and his teacher.
     
  9. It has to do with the fact that people know her because they went to the same school or church as her. Her family is well known at that church and her family is well known in town in different circles. People are just looking to judge her because of how she grew up. Instead they should be praying for her if they really do claim to be Christians.

    That being said just because the school is a Christian school doesn't mean all the students that go there act Christian or behave like Christians. I too grew up going to this church. However, just because you don't like a certain food dish at a restaurant doesn't mean you write off the entire restaurant... or maybe it does depending on who you are.

    Woah, woah, woah... wait a minute here. You people who are going on with this "Amanda's just young and made a mistake. She should be allowed to make mistakes. Go easy on her..." (expletive deleted) - you would be the first ones to crucify any 24 year old man who was trying to get with a 15 year old girl. Give me a break. Double standard all the way. Amanda deserves the exact same punishment a man would have in her shoes.

    Agreed 100%. Too many times female teachers get off with little(but mainly NO) time behind bars while the men spend at least 5 years in prison and are crucified to the fullest extent!!

    I agree but people need to step back and take a look at what she's actually done, which isn't much.

    If you were to take all the female perps in here & sort them base on the severity of what they had done & other factors such as multiple victims & sexting (often = child porn when minors are involved), Amanda Brennan would come out near the bottom. This is a case that's ripe for judicial intervention & diversion. Throwing the book at her isn't the answer.

    I started Calvary in 6th grade and yes Calvary has their problems but the brennan family is a great family despite one stupid mistake. I have read all of your problems and concerns and some i agree with and some i dont. But don't judge someone you really dont know. And as far as Calvary goes I was there forever and I didn't turn out terrible.
