Shag your students; collect 20,000 euros!

Another great story from The Times involved a teacher at a school in The Hague who had a sexual relationship with one of his 16-year-old pupils. This is considered an illegal abuse of power here, but despite this, the teacher was awarded 20,000 euros when the school suspended him and ended his contract. How is this possible? You break the law; you break one of the fundamental principles governing teacher-student relationships; and you walk away with a huge sum of cash!?!

Un-frackin'-believable!
