Reader reviewed by Mr. C

I live in (Madison) Alabama, am a teacher and have had many students who resemble "Nine." I am disturbed by the lesson learned in TEACH ME - that it's okay to rape a student and get away with it. Yes, I know that critics love how Nelson portrays both characters' passion for one another but I felt as if Mr. Mann just got to live life and allow Nine to drown in her sorrow.
Perhaps I have taught too many girls who've been treated like Nine was by Mr. Mann, but I wanted him to pay the price for what he knew was wrong.
Even in Alabama, it's still rape!
