Band director's text message to student: "Hike up your dress"
The guy quit after sending that and other texts to the student. It's pretty much the same old story -- horny teacher does something stupid -- but I kind of like the photo the paper used. (Orlando Sentinel)
Stupid isn't a strong enough word.

The student is 18. Who cares? Although I think his photo is kind of yummy.

"I just want to grab you up. Hike up your dress. Well you know the rest."
Didn't Ludacris use that line?

The phrase "hike up your dress" brings to mind the artwork of amazon enthusiast Robert Crumb.
Keep on truckin'!

Norton,
Ever see the documentary on Crumb?
Piggy back rides.

Haven't been able to look a pair of cowboy boots without blushing ever since.

Ludacris? I thought it was Dave Matthews!

Blue Mary- I love that documentary! have you ever seen his published sketchbooks? They contain such an innocent form of sexual deviancy as to almost be compellingly cute.

If no one receiving the messages complained, they weren't really "victims" were they?
Posted by: Notch Johnson | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 11:31 AM
BTW I liked the documentary on Crumb too. His brothers and mother were quite entertaining.

Most states have laws that prohibit certain types of "contact" between teacher and student. He is stupid because he failed to forsee the consequences of his actions. If he believed that the emails to the student were worth losing his job, that's his decision. She's 18, probably graduating soon. One minute after she graduates, he's free to pursue whomever or whatever he wants to pursue. The school or the state which issues his license would have no legal grounds against him.

Blue Mary- Srsly? WOW! Thats gotta be even better than the Residents album 'Wormwood' (twisted stories from the bible).
thomas- illustration? you know my email :o)

@RMM - The Dave Matthews lyric is "Hike up your skirt a little more And show your world to me" from Crash Into Me. It could also be considered a request ;)
Posted by: W | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 12:06 PM
I know, W. That was my point... I love that song.
And thanks for the lyrics :)

That's what I was thinking, W. It made me lol to see the muggy and sing that song (in my head)

Ever see the girls in a HS band? Of course she didn't file a complaint, they don't usually draw that kind of attention. Of course, a few years later on, one learns they certainly were deserving of that kind of attention.

The usual case of sexual susceptibility trumping good judgement, but the girl in question is 18 years old, and apparently was not upset by the messages, since she didn't report them. Sounds to me a bit as if the 'friend' who talked might've been a tad jealous that hottie teacher wasn't texting *her* and could've turned him in over that. Stupid and inappropriate, but I would think that suspension would've been more in line unless he has a history of misconduct with students. As the story reads, I think it's something of a big deal being made over something not all that much, considering.

Reno, baby,
Don't bruise your lips on your monitor.
Posted by: American Veteran | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 02:56 PM
Oh you're right LGL, he'd make a great game show host! I wonder what 'instrument' he plays...
Posted by: Reno | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 02:57 PM
The pink harmonica?
Posted by: LimeGreenLizard | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 03:03 PM
I was kind of thinking it was the skin flute since it appears he hasn't tapped that as of yet. But appearances can be deceiving.
Posted by: Reno | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 03:11 PM
Tromboner?
Posted by: Emperor Norton the 1st | Friday, April 02, 2010 at 03:22 PM
dear mr moody: u can teach me to play ur flute! Just switch out the tux for a tie and rolled up sleeves. In exchange I'll wear the best crotch-fringe - I umm, mean, miniskirt ever not measured...
Oops... Did I type that outloud...?
Sincerely,
"jennay!"
In all seriousness... I know u wanna make your ticket # known, bandgeek. But at least try and surprise me with how nobody had any clue what was going on, Mr. Career Suicide. Those are the intelligent ones.

Yawn.... Can't legislate against human nature, but we try. Whats next? Pass a law you can't date anybody who ever went to the same school you taught in. Life sentence. Registered sex offender. Firing squad etc.
On lighter note: By the way, folks, Happy Easter.

It is apparent that this guy was clueless to the fact that the girl was not taking to some of his texts. Quite the persistent guy, though.
