Full story [here](http://dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/02/11/lcteach.html?sid=101). Bellefontaine isn’t really my hometown, but it is within only a few miles of it, and I had several friends growing up from the school district. Apparently, this woman, a fourth grade teacher with a thirteen year history with the district, was arrested after she skipped half a day of work to go to a local motel to turn tricks. Pretty much speaks for itself doesn’t it? I’m going to argue that she was doing research for a history lesson about the world’s oldest profession. The woman deserves a friggin’ OEA award. 😉 The article also says, “She’s been a popular teacher.” I really hope they don’t mean among the students. ---

This is why I support raising teacher’s salaries. ---

In the email she sent me about the story, my mother passed on that at least one outlet made the “Teacher playing hooky? Hooker? No, both!” joke. It’s all a huge mess. And, **Beadalin** , I’m sure there is somebody out there who thinks this teacher is hot. And apparently some willing to pay for an afternoon with her. But I certainly don’t see it. ---

I thought teachers only moonlighted. You know, this might help put an end to the burnout problem. ---

Wow, crazy. And I read somewhere that she’s worked for the district for 13 years! ---
