gym teacher

Tagged:

I know I do a lot of blog entries on education, but that is what I am passionate about.  I was reading the latest new article about a teacher in Florida that was taking bribes from his middle student so that they did not have to change for gym.  He was sentenced yesterday to thee years probation and order to pay his students back.  The good thing is that his teaching certificate was permanently revoked but the bad things is it was only revoked in Florida he can still go to another state and teacher. But what school district in their right mind would hire this man.  The big kick is that he was not the only one in the school doing this. Another gym teacher still faces charges on this same crime.  This is all the tech had to say for his actions “"I'm ready to get on with my probation and get back to teaching," said Braxton, of Atmore, Alabama "It was a mistake, my first job. I regret doing it." This is outrageous. This man should never be allowed to teach again.  I know it is not as bad as some of the teacher out there that have sex or take pictures of there student naked.  But still he was harming the youth of American and that is not right. I would not want this man teaching my children.  Something needs to be done.  What should have happened to this teacher and would you allow him or want him to teach your children.

I'm confused... what did he do that was so terrible? He allowed one student to wear street clothes to PE? I must have misunderstood something.

No, he let the students give him cash in exchange for not participating in gym class. I read a couple articles on that also, and it makes me mad. I am in school to be a teacher right now. I can't believe that somebody that prides themself on bettering our future would have such a policy... it makes me sick.

Oh, I see. Well that's downright unethical. Yikes!

I would have loved to have a gym teacher like this, because I personally despised gym class. It is morally and ethically wrong and all, but maybe some people should take a hint. If kids are willing to pay to get out of gym class, maybe there is a deeper issue that needs to be identified.

Love and happiness,

I hate gym, I wish I had a teacher like that.
