This type of problem, however, isn't endemic to the "coercion x local moneys + federal requirement" formula described in my last post. This is just an original sin thing:
When we heard about the latest scandal embroiling a U.S. middle school, well, we assumed it must have involved a teenage boy and a confused math teacher. So imagine our relief when the below investigative report--authored by Columbus, Ohio public school officials--found only that Wedgewood Middle School educators drank booze during the school day, got kinky with each other in the boiler room bathroom, and spoke about where to score cocaine. According to the report, Principal Loy Koeller (pictured at right) and teacher Thomas Mannarino engaged in such a variety of inappropriate conduct that they should be terminated. A second teacher, Abbi Terry, has been issued a written warning and may be ordered into counseling.
