Proof that teachers are underpaid

I usually stick to stories about American teachers. But I couldn't resist this one, from Vietnam. Le Nguyen To Nhan, an arts teacher at a private academy, sent a syringe home in the backpack of a 3rd grade student. Then, he started leaving messages on her cell phone, indicating he would infect her child with HIV if she didn't deposit VND50 million, about $3,125, into his bank account. If only teachers were paid better, none of this would have happened. Enjoy his story here.

'til death do you part?

Garvie, 30, engaged in sexually explicit online exchanges over four months with a police detective posing as a 15-year-old girl. According to court records, Garvie said that he had just returned from his honeymoon, and had no intention of meeting the girl. If convicted on charges of enticing a minor, and risk of injury to a minor, prison may alter his plan of "'til death do you part." Details here.

What background check?

In Alabama, school employees are supposed to have a pre-employment background check. Unfortunately, since the need to hire quickly trumps the need to keep students safe, employees are often hired "pending background check." Keaton Lamar Battle, a teacher's aide in Dothan City Schools who has been accused of "enticing a child for immoral purposes" was such a hire. But his prior arrests weren't for sexual offenses, and according to the Alabama Department of Education, "a federal court ruling prevents the state department from issuing a blanket list of offenses that will automatically exclude employees from getting a job in education."

At least it was non-sexual

A 70 year old recently retired teacher admits that he french-kissed a 9 year old student last year. But he says he just did it to get her to go out for recess, not to be sexual. David Eugene Grey, of Dana Elementary School in the Lucia Mar Unified School District, said that the rest of the class went to recess but this girl and a friend remained behind.

No felony charge against teacher in school gun case

A teacher who allegedly let her son bring a loaded pistol to school is no longer facing felony charges, court papers show.
