According to the Sulphur Daily News, Heather Daughdrill initiated the relationship in June and it continued until a complaint was filed in October. After her arrest on November 29, police told the paper that Daughdrill would pick her victim up from school without his parents' knowledge and subject him to sexual encounters. Louisiana cops also reportedly found sexually explicit texts between Daughdrill and her victim.

Yep. I'd have snapped a pic and used it as my screensaver... [Reply]

Today, that line is fuzzy.
Yeah, I'm 38. I had a kindergarten teacher that was probably in her mid 20s, but the rest of my school life my teachers were all in late 30s to 60s. I can count maybe 2 attractive females amongst them, both were probably early 40s.
I see tons of teachers in elementary school these days that are in their 20s. I wonder why the difference? [Reply]

It's because the pay sucks, and districts try to bounce teachers before they start to move up the pay scale. Lots of teachers burn out after five or ten years.
School costs so much now that you can barely pay back student loans and have a life as a young teacher. So instead of going into education, students go into other fields that pay much better than education.

We are in the middle, and have been for a few years, of a wave of teacher retirements. Those teachers have to be replaced by someone, but I guarantee they were all in their 20s at one time. [Reply]

I'm married to a teacher, so I know.
All of this. Also: lots of young women teachers quit once they have their first baby and become stay at home mom's. Lots of hot young trophy wife teachers in our district who are working until they get pregnant with their first baby. [Reply]
I have 3 tfa teachers on my kickball team. The 2 cute under 25 females are quitting at the end of the year. Parents of the inner city kids and admins stressing them out. They both make low 40s. I told them to go to suburban but they want to enter corporate america. [Reply]

Yeah. Teach for America is really screwing up the education profession in a lot of ways. Lots of well meaning "do gooders" get in and distort the reality of the education situation because they're not actually in it for the long haul. Then policy makers shape all these policies based on the stories of TFA people, which isn't really making teaching sustainable as a profession.
You have all these feel good stories surrounding inner city or rural impoverished schools about some teacher who comes in as part of TFA and changes lives and commits their heart and soul to teaching (thank Dangerous Minds, the movie) and puts in all these extra hours and shit. But the fact is that those people often burn out and last for a couple of years before moving on.
We have a local charter school that uses TFA people up like crazy. They work insane hours and are all super passionate about their jobs... or appear to be. For some reason, though, their teacher turnover rate is through the roof. [Reply]

For all the bitching about supposedly underqualified applicants that get into colleges, nothing is more maddening to me than women who work for two or three years after going to college, then become stay-at-home moms. [Reply]
