I had a John Deere (Construction equipment) account manager who had been a teacher. I got to know him fairly well, even on a bit of a personal basis. He was young, well dressed and a good looking young man---he seemed out of his element on a construction site.
One day I asked him why he left teaching---I was a tad shocked at his obviously candid response---he could see trouble on the horizon. He taught high school and he told me that he had more than one female student that "displayed" alternative motives for being in his classes. At least one would sit in the front row, wearing a skirt and flash him. Once she knew he saw what she was showing, she would asked to be excused to go to the rest room. Upon return it was obvious that she had baited another hook 
He realized such temptations would eventually take a toll---and he got off the highway before that happened
