Another Goofy Photo & Teacher Story

[sandgk]

But not of the myspace variety, at least.

Nope - this time it involves a Johnson City, TN music teacher who was transferred after he asked a 17-year old student to pose, in a mermaid costume.

She wasn't the first.

Teacher asks girl to wear mermaid outfit

A middle school teacher who asked a student to pose for a photograph in a mermaid costume has been reassigned to an adult education program.
Les Leonard, a music teacher with 17 years in the school system, agreed to the transfer from Johnson City's Indian Trail Middle School to a vacant position in adult education that will include testing coordination and possibly some adult teaching.
"I thought it was in the best interests of the school system," Schools Director Richard Bales said.
According to a letter in Leonard's personnel file, a female student reported that Leonard asked her to stay after class to pose for a photograph with his guitar. Then he asked her to put on a mermaid costume for a second photograph. She declined.
The letter also revealed that principal Tammy Pearce investigated Leonard and found he had asked at least two other female students to stay after school and put on costumes for photographs.

Boots

Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots?

He asked for help and she could see why..

Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.

She almost cried when the little boy said, 'Teacher, they're on the wrong feet...' She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet..

He then announced, 'These aren't my boots.'

She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, 'Why didn't you say so?' like she wanted to. Once again, she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said, 'They're my brother's boots. My mom made me wear 'em.'

Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

Helping him into his coat, she asked, 'Now, where are your mittens?'

He said, 'I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots.'

She will be eligible for parole in three years!
