Teacher sex scandals prompt call for special board meeting
"I think the public feels this is an epidemic, and I'm very concerned about it," school board member April Griffin said after learning that a 45-year-old female high school honors teacher (at left) allegedly had sex with a 17-year-old boy while showering at a Howard Johnson Inn.

I guess Advanced Placement of the penis is frowned upon by those who designed the school's curriculum.

It's like she WANTED to get caught.

""She was very good at getting and keeping students' attention," McAlister said. "She would say she's big, she's loud, she's boisterous. The students always liked that about her.""
Sookie-Sookie! Hot mamma, loud and proud!

Have I said recently the shrinks are blight on the nations?
Listen to this
"Richard Gartner is a New York psychologist and psychoanalyst and author of several books about sexual abuse. He said the most likely answer is that society until now has been more permissive of women who have sex with underage boys"
No, You shock me doctor, please, I must retire to my fainting couch.

A 17 year old couldn't get anything better than a 45 year old? And a large, not so attractive one to boot. She's no Stiffler's mom.

"Police say Freedom High School English teacher Mary Jo Spack, 45, met two male students at a liquor store last Friday, then took them to a Tampa motel, where she had sex with one of them in the shower as four other students overheard in the next room."
What were the "four other students" doing at a motel, anyway?

The student must have been pretty lonely to hit that.

:-) Funny. "Hot for Teacher" is playing on the radio right now......Is Van Halen becoming more popular amongst the youth these days?

Ok, she's got the one big eye "Bill the Cat" thing going on. Showing the cleavage. They all must be doing something right though.

"Hey sonny, wanna get Spackled?"

semsc- she'd've been good enough for me when I was 14. Back then I'd ...um...'think'...about the neighbors German au pair 3 times a day, at minimum...she'd HANG HER UNDERGARMENTS ON THE CLOTHESLINE OUT BACK. My LAWD! More than anything!
Posted by: sometimesilie | Mar 21, 2008 2:39:27 PM
Even 14 year olds have to draw the line somewhere!
However, thinking back to when I was 14, given a choice between my good ole pillow and Mary Jo Spack, Mary Jo Spack wins!

I think Mr. Romanesko has been protecting us all along. I did a search on Mary Jo Spack and found this website:
http://badbadteacher.com
Turns out the teachers we've seen here are all the better ones. I'd definitely chose my ole pillow over most of the female teachers on that website, even as a horny 14 year old, they're that bad!

let me guess,part of the special board meeting agenda was,
How to have sex with their students without getting caught.
Posted by: AngrySockMonkey | Mar 22, 2008 4:05:11 AM
I'm not condoning this behavior by any means, but buying whiskey and having a bunch of guys come to a cheap motel. Did she think nobody would find out?
Somebody had better make an appointment with that shrink for the teacher's daughter.

the only victim here was the teacher
Posted by: ULTRA | Mar 22, 2008 4:13:19 PM
don't want to be here....You must've been one of the rich kids...a pillow...all I ever got was an old sock!
At 14...I would've done the knot hole in a pecan tree..but it was too high.
