THE KINGDOM OF CHILDHOOD
by REBECCA COLEMAN
SYNOPSIS:
THE KINGDOM OF CHILDHOOD is the story of a boy and a woman: sixteen-year-old Zach
Patterson, uprooted and struggling to reconcile his knowledge of his mother’s
extramarital affair, and Judy McFarland, a kindergarten teacher watching her
family unravel before her eyes. Thrown together to organize a fundraiser for
their failing private school and bonded by loneliness, they begin an affair
that at first thrills, then corrupts, each of them. Judy sees in Zach the
elements of a young man she loved as a child, but what Zach does not realize is
that their relationship is, for Judy, only the latest in a lifetime of
disturbing secrets. As the walls close in, Zach finds himself needing to
disentangle himself from premature adulthood. But the lines between adult
and child have blurred, and life and sanity are unraveling faster and further than
anyone could ever have imagined.
Rebecca’s exploration of the
controversial Waldorf School movement will make THE KINGDOM OF CHILDHOOD a much-discussed and debated novel.

I believe that teachers should absolutely be prosecuted for having inappropriate relationships with a student.

I think teachers who have affairs with students should definitely be prosecuted...in some cases, even if the two people don't actually have intercourse, I think there still might be reasons to prosecute the teacher. I'd have to know the circumstances of the case.
Thank you for hosting this wonderful giveaway!

Once CERTAIN and not just on a disgruntled child's accusation, absolutely prosecution is the right course of action. Reputations and careers can be ruined if an accusation like this is made, so every effort should be made to confirm it before moving ahead.

Without a doubt they should be prosecuted. They're lucky I'm not in the jury, any teacher who does that.

I do think they should be prosecuted for any crimes they commit against or with their students.

Yes-a teacher having an affair with a student is taking advantage of the student.
