I had this woman as a teacher and I'd never expect that kind of behavior from her considering that she in fact was very efficient at her job. Still, she was very close with the "cool" kids who failed and cheated, even on her own exams. And wow, she's 30? She sure does not look it (although I admit this is completely irrevelent). With behavior like this along with a supposedly pedophilic gym teacher, this once good school is going down the toilet when it comes to reputation.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/05/bad_idea_jeans_3.php#comment-411738 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/05/bad_idea_jeans_3.php#comment-411738 Comments Thu, 05 Oct 2006 13:39:27 -0500 <p>It sounds to me like she was trying to be sweet and help out a couple of shy kids. Not sure about that "instructed them to kiss" remark- it sounds a bit abnormal- but it makes me think there was more to it, not that the teacher is some sort of sexual deviant. Nowhere is it implied that she had any idea the boy had shot the girl's brother. Was it a bad idea, in retrospect? Yes. But I don't think this warrants firing the teacher. </p>
