While the actions of the teacher are very bad and deserve actions such as firing and possibly criminal charges where is the other side of responsibility ? Why are there not rules that would get a child expelled for participating in this type of behavior? The teacher did not magically obtain her cell phone number to be able to send inapropriate text messages. It takes two to tango as they say so both parties need to be punished. Get your butt whooped for trying to get with a 40 year old man as well as you are now kicked out of school.

@SuperSpurs...it didn't take Tongue's long to finish what he started at 9:13pm last night thus, his 9:16pm comment. LOL... and @hrhking, DodieLee prefers to be called Di!do...

Glad to hear the student did the right thing. It is disturbing to hear this is middle school.

@speakintongues, dont you have anything better to do at 9:16 pm last night?

Please people, don't feed the trolls. SpeakinTongues is of the same ilk as DodieLee and the others. If you ignore them, they will go somewhere else to play.

I was wrong.....since my previous comment, I spoke with a teacher who corrected me by advising that many school districts require that you apply to be a sub and are hired by being placed on a list. Sorry.

I did not know that substitute teachers had ever been hired to begin with. How do you fire a substitute if they are not permanent to begin with? You may relieve them of their substitute duties and/or not use them again, but you probably cannot fire them. ABC123.........agree with you. Too many morons trying to come across dumber than they already are in this forum.

There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you, as a woman, have no chance at all of making it logical.

SpeakinTongues-we already have a resident crazy here. If we feel the need for another one, we'll give you a call. Thanks for playing.

ABC1234...your analysis sense is exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. You make me genuinely laugh, throaty, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
