Middle School Teacher Busted in Teen Sex Sting

fcking Social Studies...

The headline of that CBS2 article says he admits a "$500-A-Day Crack Habit," which, yeah, strains credulity and contradicts the reporting. I corrected it.

yeah, and apparently he likes to "smoke" but that could be heroin, or pot. though pot is rarely $500 a day.

seriously, you'd need a bong with a kick-start V8 engine to burn through $500/day of that sweet maryjane.

hmmm...i think i'm on to something there. wait, what were we talkin' about bro?

The linked article actually says "$500/week drug addiction," not $500/day crack addiction.

i think the big deal is this guy will do Hard time whereas the female teach will get 5 yrs probation then get caught contacting the student again. and this guy didn't even get any action, just a sex sting.

where are all the commenters from the female teacher news stories? i mean, what's the big deal on this one? if he really was hooking up with 15 year old girls shouldn't they be happy about it? they know what the deal is, they're the ones singing about riding disco sticks and what not

I don't understand why something as simple a mandatory/ sporadic drug testing shouldn't be implemented in schools. It's clear they don't do background checks, might wanna consider catching up to the times so we stop paying people like this to educate & molest our children.

I didn't know they have a urine test for pedophelia!

They do. R Kelly failed.

you really want to take pot away from the people who have to deal with today's youth on a daily basis?

you can test for harder drugs then just weed...

And how would this drug testing get "creepy" guys who look at their female students "body parts" out of teaching? Is that something only users of hard drugs do?

a/s/l?

Wait so your cool with this guy teaching so long as he's just a crack addict and not a perv?

to get certified to teach in NYS, the state does a background check and keeps a copy of each candidate's fingerprints on file in Albany.

as for no drug tests, two words: teacher's unions.

Here we go with the UFT bashing!

In the real world, teachers have the least amount of job protection of any civil servants.

And the union agreed to that because of douchebags like this guy.

So save the anti union nonsense for the Wall Street Journal blog!

Considering how long these perverts get away with this, maybe some sort of student comment system could be implemented. If the same people are creeping students out year after year, then start an official investigation.

BTW, why aren't these kids videorecording this stuff?

Huh...no jokes about how he's fat or ugly. Different when a male teacher does it, eh?

yeah, it's less funny and more gross.

double standard, sure. but i don't think that's what you're looking for.

also, he's totally hot.

Ewwwww!

I used to teach at Franklin Lane HS (which no longer exists) and there was a teacher there with a reputation for preying on girls, especially recent immigrants. I read a few years back that he finally got busted. He was REALLY gross: bleached frizzy hair, red leather suits (no kidding!), gold chains, pot belly.

Any teacher that crosses this line should be locked up as a threat to society, no question.

oops - sorry. my comment was meant for the 'hotstepper' douchebag.

$500 a day crack addiction? That is a shitload of crack per day... How is even alive?

Where is he getting $500 a day ?

Those uniforms the band raised money for? Never arrived.

they must pay better in westchester :P

"[The girls] used to talk about how he was such a pervert and they all found it very disgusting. He might look at different body parts thinking the girls wouldn't notice but everybody noticed."

I had a teacher just like that in middle school. He would obviously stare at our bodies and make lewd comments constantly. You'd think in the PC 90s it would have taken less than 20 years for him to get sent to prison for soliciting 12-year-olds. But much as I hate to say it and sound like a total feminist tool, it's just par for the course in life as a girl. Guys will stare at you creepily. If you're lucky, they won't actually try to do anything other than stare.

I had one at my middle school too. Except he actually got caught and arrested: http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2005/07/22/2005-07-22_qns__teacher_collared_in_kid.html

"$500 a day crack addiction and a penchant for underage girls"

dude, this guy knows how to party.

you're very clever.

ok if i give this guy your daughter's phone number?

Dude, relaaaax, have some crack and a tween.

Ugh...

"[The girls] used to talk about how he was such a pervert and they all found it very disgusting.

Apparently, those girls knew EXACTLY what they were talking about!

Now, if only somebody at the Pelham school district had listened to what the girls said about this guy....

I have to agree!
