Where the heck were these teachers when I was a student? All we had was some old biddies with blue hair.

Wow. Get your rocks off AND get paid. Where do I sign up?

Someone is *really* peeved at this lady and has a web page devoted to her here.

Her Myspace page is here.

Wasn't James talking about this case earlier this week or late last week; about how the cuter you are, the less likely you are to go to the pokey?

But $2 million? Good luck with that! Only way you get $2 million is if the jurors are all Wisdoms' former bluehair teachers!

Accurate observation FanDan. After looking @ her pic earlier in the week I think she's a 2 + 1 + 3. 2 in the am., 1 more joint and 3 more beers.

I hope that no one will really be able to convince this yo0ung man that he is a "victim" -- and thus harm him more than a bit of sex ever could. Assuming safe sex, sex to a teenage boy in not generally an earth-shattering deal. More a pleasant diversion -- oh, and what's on TV?

While she probably should not be teaching, the idea of this as criminal is absurd. In any civilized nation, this is farce, not tragedy.

Brad, the teacher was a woman. I knew that from the headline because it did not mention a "man".
