Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Not quite. Yeah, she's a school teacher and she might be involved in an alleged crime that implicated the privates, but she's not messing with under-aged young men. Nope, the gal simply tried to earn $300 for a little sumptin sumptin after meeting a guy in a chat room who said he was willing to pay $300 for said sumptin sumptin. So she goes to the Four Seasons in Houston to execute the contract (heck, I can't even afford the Four Seasons) and . . . [insert dramatic pause] . . . the cops bust her in a sting operation.
To quote myself, "Sheeesh."
What's this world coming to? We all know teachers are underpaid and many have to get summer jobs to make ends meet. And this girl is obviously an example of our struggling economy. But what are we spending our tax dollars on? Cops who have nothing better to do than hang out in chat rooms so they can put this young educator (who is extemely hawt by the way) in the hoosegow.

i bet she will be protected by her union from any dismissal or suspension..teachers can get away with anything thanks to the TEA..
What's her e-mail address?
I'll have a little extra money next month!
I disagree with you on most of your liberal believes but I am behind you on this one. If a guy takes a gal to the movies and I nice dinner and expects to get lucky at the end of the night that's OK but if he wants to take a short cut and pay cash up front that's illegal???
I also agree that our cops have better things to do. Go help this gal out Barry. I will kick in $20 for your expenses.
Prostitution should be legal. Ridiculous waste of
And as 9:49pm put it... most dates that lead to the sheets are the same thing... more or less.
The Double Fake... oh. Sorry.
8:30...
TEA is NOT a union and in no way protects teachers from anything.
Maybe if teachers could swing the paddle..like they did in your day Barry....they wouldn't do other stuff.
I'm a teacher & I have never depended on TEA for one thing other than to tell me what I must do in my classroom, which makes me angry.
Teachers in Texas are not allowed to strike so how can you call any teacher organizations unions? They are just political influence groups, and their influence is debatable.
TEA is infiltrated with Gov. Good-Hair Perry appointments. Perry has never been a friend to teachers; in fact he's close to being an enemy.
Again, TEA does NOT protect teachers from ANYTHING. It's TEA I'd like to be protected FROM.
Very funny, Mr. Honcho. I got that.
Double Fake Shake-n-Bake (fist bump, bro)
OH yes...if we could get away with anything....HMMM a list:
TAKS would be group work...and not turned in.
Start date..after Labor Day... End date no later than May 20th.
We would charge more for our services!
When that kid stood up and threw his chair across the room and called me an #$@^& *&$^). I would have put him in a head lock and washed his mouth out with soap.
YEAH! 8:14
I'd vote for that!
Can't trust the TAKS - too easy to cheat, not always a good judge of actual student performance.
Stretching the school year out longer and longer just increases the cost of utilities.
Teacher pay - could be better overall, but combat pay should be considered for rough schools - like the ones where teachers can carry a gun.
and Hell yeah! you should be able to respond with unreasonable outburst with equal force/soap. Goodness knows, parents don't teach those kids the meaning of appropriate behavior.
mike for president!
Do police have conscience's?
I have never understood the arguement that teachers aren't paid well. They get a quarter of the year off and make somewhere around $36,000 per year. There are alot of people who don't make that and don't get their summers off. I am not saying that their services aren't more valuable but they all knew what the pay was when they chose that career path in college.
And there are a lot of people who put in hours after the close of business. Don't want to hear about that.
where were all these HOT teachers that would do this when I was in school!!!!!!!
I think we should abolish high school football and take all the money saved from coaches salaries as well as the money received by selling the real estate devoted to football stadiums, etc. and distribute it to teachers in the form of a salary increase. Then they would not need a second job like the teacher who got entrapped and arrested.
How much do the Europeans and Chineese spend on high school athletics? I lived in Europe for a couple of years and never saw any high school stadiums.
10:00 - are you on crack?
You didn't see any high school stadiums in countries that don't play football? Huh! How many soccer fields did you happen to see over there?
If you take away footbal then you also lose cheerleading, spirit squads, concession sales, booster clubs. How about doing away with all sports at all levels? That should save tons of money. Speaking of tons...that is what our kids would weigh if they didn't get physical activity from organized school-sponsored athletic events
I believe that if you check you will find that most of local sports in Europe are not tax supported and they have fewer fat kids in their schools and fewer fat adults than in Texas where football is king. Sports are not what keep children from getting fat. It is the life style, food, video games, cars, televisions, etc. that their parents provide them, that makes then fat. Those who weight is controlled through their high school years but otherwise have the life style of a fat person put on weight upon reaching adulthood. That is when the heart attacks start. Besides, only the backfield and defensive backs on most football teams are within the weight recommendations of the Metropolitian Life tables. High school lineman have an inch or two of yellow fat covering their muscles and their arteries have the beginnings of plaque deposits. If you don't know what the Met Life tables are, let me suggest that you turn you TV off in the evening and sign up for Biology 101 at Weatherford Junior College in Decatur.
What you all seem to forget or simply skirt around is that sports is about our school being better than your school which means a new school has to be built every few years in order to top the other nearby counties schools.
School sports should be dropped and more focus place on academics so students can become more productive citizens.
In the end it will save the school districts millions of dollars in campus size,coaches salaries and all the other support staff for such a useless waste of time.
If you want to hold Europe as an example of education, do not forget that European countries do not educate all of their children. Most take a placement test after
8th grade. If you pass, you go to a high school that concentrates on you strengths, if you fail, hello trade school. Do want to be pigeonholed at 13 years old? If you do away with extra-curricular activities, stand back and watch the discipline problems grow. Ask most teachers how to handle a problem student and more often than not, if the student is involved in athletics, they tell the coach and the coach will handle it.
Ok 4:07, Since I lived there for a while I understand their system of education. They correctly understand that not all people are created with equal intelligence. In America we force kids into Algebra class who have no use for it, nor do they ever understand it. We put them through four years of stuff that they are incapable of comprehending. This is not good for their self esteem. These students tend to be disruptive and therefore hinder those who do have the intelligence to be there. That is exactly the reason for the European system of education. They sort the kids at age 13 and we sort them at age 18. What is the difference?
How did we get on this. Lets just give the teachers a salary increase.
i say let there be more sex for teachers everywhere.....!
BG..you should read the story about sex at the olympics on drudge..very interesting and insightful !!
9:21...you are a dumb ass. You should just stay out of big people conversations.
Hey 257,
How about you go have your kids spaid and neutered so the cycle will stop. Think about what you have accomplished....now think about what the future holds for your kids....pretty bleek isn't it. The best thing for our schools is for you trash to get out of the way of the future tax payers and get on with worthless existence that has been in your family for generations.
6:25....An elitist playing the self-esteem card. I am not surprised. I do agree that we are forcing kids to take classes they have no business in but there is not one single thing in my life that I would trade for the "European" way of doing things. If you are so enamored with their lifestyle, why did you leave?
Why does 10:28 not learn to spell rather than be preoccupied with how fast his children can run or how high they can jump. He probably played football in high school and scored 800 on the SAT. He should have been in trade school at age 13 rather than put in an environment where he had no academic skills. He and his SSTT friends should be neutered. I am working calves next week and would be glad to run him though the chute.
Why leave Europe with its superior education system? The answer is an old one. The pay is good. America has been recruiting out of the European system for a hundred years. Consider names like Einstein, von Braun and Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer was born in New York but completed his education at Gottingen in Germany. If he had chosen to stay in Germany, Hitler might have prevailed (if he had of spared Oppenheimer from the gas chambers). So, can't we say that the European system of education decided the outcome of WWII? If von Braun had not came to America after WWII we would not have won the space race with the USSR and the Berlin wall would still stand. We continue to fail in educating our citizens and therefore recruit foreign doctors, engineers, and scientist to fill the gap. I still say get rid of sports in our schools and pay our teacher a reasonable salary. Each community could then have sport clubs that do not rely on tax payers to fund them. Just my opinion. I am not posting this so I can be abused by other posters. I will read and consider your opinion and respect you.
10:45...Are you comparing yourself to Einstein etal? Were you one of the highly recruited? Since every medical school in the country is full and every research post graduate program is still highly selective (and full), maybe the comparative handful of Europeans recruited to this country are just filling the gaps. As for WWII, it would have never happened had Europe not had their head in the sand and shaking in fear. The leaders in Europe allowed Hitler to create the stronghold by doing nothing and hoping it would go away. Then when every country was at it's weakest, Japan jumps in expecting an easy victory. Does this sound familiar? To the folks in Georgia it does.
Who is Einstein Etal and how did he get into this conversation?
Anyway, I would hold her and lick her toes and make the pain go away.
Europe is a continent, NOT a country. So to compare the United States to Europe as a whole is kind of dumb considering the educational systems vary from country to country as does the population (France and England has a high Arab/Indian immigrant population whereas the Nordic countries are VERY white)...kind of like when they compare Texas education standards (with such a high immigrant/ESL population) to places like Maine, China, Japan, etc. where the populations are a "bit" more homogenous. They also have education tracks unlike us. We educate every student to go a university regardless if they have the academic propensity or not. I sick of such stupid comparisons.
I like 9:33's comments, though. I'm not anti-sports but that is why our test scores will never be competitive. Athletics drive everything in public education (around here, anyway). And the fact that while we are trying to teach ESL students how to do calculus, sentence diagramming, and so on, we are also teaching them how to speak/read/understand the English language at the same time.
Is prostitution the only crime for which method of payment is the determining factor in being arrested? Why is it OK with the law to marry for money, cheat, or give your body away for free as much as you want, or instead of cash get an expensive dinner and a shopping spree? Is there anything else that you can give away for free legally, but charge a price and your life is ruined? Whether you think prostitution is right or wrong, a crime or not, don't you think our system is kind of screwed up when it comes to this? And moreover, in some places in this country prostitution is legal.
