    If no one thinks this is worthy of discussion, that's OK. My thinking is that the word is too vague to be worthwhile. Attractive is a relative term. And why is there no description of the kid? Let the picture speak for itself or else don't speak at all to how she looked.

    OK. The word should never be used in a news report unless it's in a quote. It's obviously subjective and news writing should be objective.

    If as a news website you are comfortable writing a story about an "attractive" teacher, are you going to be OK with calling another one "ugly?"

    I think this demonstrates the difference between writing for print and writing for TV.

    What's not acceptable in one medium can be acceptable in another.

    Damn sure the New York Post would come up with something far less pedestrian than "attractive." "A sultry science teacher and curvy Christian leader was busted for giving a student an impromptu anatomy lesson that could qualify as a religious experience."

    Perhaps they were in a deep debate over creationism vs evolution.

    Teacher: "Alright, alright. I'll do this once, as long as you turn your life over to the Lord."

    Student: (silently) My prayers have been answered. Praise be to God!
     
  9. Maybe she was trying to convert him to their team? From "The Beard" episode of Seinfeld.
