In the context of this thread, I think the Teacher should be prosecuted the same as a man, and it's irrelevant what the kid thinks.
But I wonder, What about intent? Or motive? They are basically the same thing.
If I have the runs, and the poop slides down my leg (I'm wearing boxers and shorts) onto a sidewalk before I can reach a bathroom, do I deserve to be punished the same amount as someone who craps on the sidewalk on purpose?
