Let's blame the economy for this, too: Teachers wishing to commit a crime have caught on to not give it away for free to students, when they can turn a trick and turn a quick buck. Only in the unfortunate case of Ohio teacher Amber Carter, it led to a felony charge.
Amber was arrested for prostitution yesterday at a Super 8 motel when she met up with a john she'd found on Craigslist during school hours. She had called out sick yesterday afternoon for her trick, which turned out to be a sting. It didn't help her case that she used school computers to arrange her business--it led to the additonal felony charge of "unauthorized use of property."
"It's not our place to tell them too much," said Superintendant Larry Anderson about what to tell the students, "but we figured the students might have heard rumors and would have some questions." Parents will get a letter about the situation tonight.
He also described Amber as a popular teacher. I'll say!

(BTW, I started that Hot For Teacher Tournament last month but am just not that into it, would be a part-time job just keeping track of all the teachers gone bad.)
