    Quite honestly, hearing the words "teacher" and "caught", and "sex", in the same sentence, I can only feel relief on realizing that it's between adults.

    Also, I laughed really hard when I read the first sentence of the steak-throwing. And then I just got sad reading the rest of it.

    I went to that high school, and one of those women was my teacher for two years. This really does not surprise me at all. Nor do I feel that bad for her. She always had some major boundary issues. I'm kind of surprised she didn't get in trouble for something before this

    @colormeroutine: I grew up by that school! (but didn't end up going there). Sort of odd to say Brooklyn Pride for a post about a sex-escandalo but there we have it. Brooklyn pride indeed. It's just rare to read about that part of Brooklyn other than when cricket players get hit by lightning in Marine Park. True story.

    Would the story about the teachers have been written if it were a heterosexual couple? I doubt it would have been written in the style it was - talking about their tattoos, interviewing 16-year-olds to find out if their teachers were "sexy."

    I guess the bigger question is if the teachers would have been dismissed if they were a hetero couple.

    @LoSpaz: Its the Daily News so, well, it would still be tabloidish even if they were hetero. But probably not as much as it is with two "good-looking" young women.

    And I agree with Ms. Skittles. They were undressing in a classroom and that is all it should take.

    @LoSpaz: I think they would have been dismissed if they were heterosexual. Undressing and/or engaging in sexual activity on school grounds is a no-no, and doing it while there are students in the building adds another degree of inappropriateness to the mix.

    Though I initially misread it as "getting ready during a talent show" and was very confused. Wouldn't it make sense for them to be changing for a show or whatever? But the "international language of love" line set me straight.

    @LoSpaz: The story would probably have been written differently, but I'm pretty sure that hetero teachers would have been dismissed. Kids were in the building and if a janitor found them, kids could have as well.
    Also-I think a teacher would have been dismissed if they were masturbating in an abandoned classroom.

    @la.donna.pietra: I had the same reaction, but if you read the article, she was passed out somewhere (not the emergency room) alone for 12 hours with her legs under her (a relative found her). She is suing the hospital because when she came in with complaints of pain in her legs (she was still apparently very drunk) they did not correctly diagnose her in time.

    Similar rumors went around my area's high schools when I was growing up. The word was that gang members - this is in the whitest suburb of the whitest state in the country, mind you - were waiting under the cars of cheerleaders who were at football games, then using knives to cut their Achilles tendons and rape them as part of their initiation.


    My sister was a cheerleader at the time and they took this shit seriously. For a few weeks, they had police escorts before all the games. Of course, nothing ever happened.


    We also believed that a girl really had baked herself to death in a tanning bed.

    I have a tip for everyone: most chain emails or texts you hear about "gang initiations" are not true. I'd venture to go with all of them, actually.


    Watch your local news. If there is some kind of crime trend in your city or town, they will likely tell you.

    Wow. I remember being in high school and hearing about a rumor that gangs will kill a cheerleader as part of their initiation. I remember our high school was in a tizzy when our football team was going for a game in a nearby town -- in po-dunk Pennsylvania!
