Uncertified Teacher Beats Student on Cellphone Camera Expose

Sheri Davis was a teacher at Jamie's House Charter School in Texas, when, during a test, the children, all under the age of 14, decided to have some fun, and play some music and dance around. One student, a thirteen year old boy, started laughing at the situation, and in response, a few female classmates told him if he didn't stop laughing, they'd hit him. Rather than back down, he continued to have fun, laugh, and said "hit me", when his teacher walked in. As a professional in the field of education, she thought it appropriate to teach him a lesson, but not with textbooks and chalkboards, but with a good old fashioned beating. She tossed him on the floor, dragged him around, and repeatedly punched his face in, with slaps and kicks thrown in between. The school is a school designed for the students with special disciplinary needs, but the teacher herself did not even have a certificate to prove she had a right to be a teacher. Unfortunately, in Texas, unless you are teaching at a special education school (which disciplinary does not fall under), you do not need a diploma to be a teacher. Equally horrifying, the fellow students in the room proceeded to laugh and cheer on the teacer during the brutal beating. Because modern day youth is so technological transfixed, the event was taped on a cellphone, later posted to Youtube, the home of other famous teacher bloopers. Luckily, the boy, Isaiah Johnson, went home and told his mother what happened, with emotional bruising, a black eye and severe bruising to show for it. As soon as the school saw the video online, the teacher was fired promptly, and charges may or may not be pressed. I hope this woman will never teach again, or be in a job near children again, as she abused her authority and used it to beat a helpless child because of her own psychological issues. I also hope that the boy has a strong family support, and they will get through this hard situation. For video coverage click here, and for a news article, click here. I hope you watch this with a mature viewpoint, but I managed to find the original video of the beating here.

Teacher Cleared of Sexual Assault Charges

25 year old Hannah McIntyre was just a trainee teacher when three young men accused her of having sexually assaulted one of the guys in the group after they came to her house and got drunk with her. However, Hannah had a totally different story to tell the judge when she went to trial just this week. While the boys said they got drunk on cider at her house, the sixteen year olds actually barged into her house already drunk, asking to let them in. "I asked them to leave," Hannah told the court. "I said they shouldn't be here and told them to be on their way.
I wanted to be non-confrontational because I didn't want to provoke a reaction. But they just took no notice." The entire game of dares absolutely never happened, but cider was bought by Hannah, in hopes that when she gave them the bottle, they would just leave, but no such luck. She finally gave up, and retired to the bedroom to avoid the gang, as "By this point I was very anxious and bed seemed to be the best hiding place." The steamy sex that they supposedly had was actually the drunk man coming upstairs, poking her and making obnoxious sex noises, before passing out drunk on the floor, which was followed with her having a panic attack in regards to having these maniacs her house. While some articles say otherwise, she clearly states she "would like to see the boy prosecuted", as she used to work at Merchant Crosby, a good private school, but is now "inexpressively angry" that her life and career are in tatters after the accusation.

This is an absolutely horrifying story, and I am quite glad that I had in some ways expected this to be completely ficticious. Of course, his motive was to deflect from his bad behaviour by blaming it on someone else. I think he should definitely be prosecuted, and that this kind of behaviour is disgusting and an embarassment to the legal system. The fact these allegations were completely fraudelent, obviously, as she has already been cleared of her charge, and they were still able to get her to lose her job and reputation is horrifying. I feel very sorry for this woman, and I desperately hope that he gets what he deserves, but more so that she gets her life back. To see the article, click here.

Teacher Plays Drunken Love Game with Student and Loses

It began as a fairly normal night for a 16 year old boy and his friends, where they were just having fun as usual, until things became unexpectedly steamy with all the wrong people. The gang of hooligans from Merchant Taylor Boys' school in Britain decided to go to Hannah McIntyre's house, the twenty five year old trainee teacher at their school. She let them in, and they went on to ask questions about the personal lives of her fellow co-workers, until she gave each of them two litres of Strongbow cider, which they drank until they were drunk enough to dare the young lady to kiss the boy on the lips, something she declined, until compromising to have the two friends kiss each other and then she would kiss the underage Casanova. The boys were too drunk to find their way home, so being the woman with the heart of gold she is, she let two of the boys stay in the living room. The other? In her bedroom! Just when you think the two might have ended the raciness at the kiss, she whipped off her pyjama bottoms, only to have the couple consumate their relaionship. The incident, a total mistake, did not even include pillow talk, but quickly followed with the infamous walk of shame, where this time, the four of them conspired to not tell a soul, and the one night only pair did not talk for a long time after. Now, he is an 18 year old undergraduate, and a year after that night, his mother finally demanded to know what happened, and he told her about the incident. Hannah McIntyre is denying the allegations of sexual activity with a child and a person of trust, but we will soon see who is telling the truth.

There are two parts of this story that I have strong opinions about. First, there have been several occurances where students accused teachers of sexual abuse to get back at them, and the year long gap between the night and his mother finding out is quite unusual. It would be quite repulsive to lie about something like this, and damaging to her career, so hopefully (well, not hopefully) he is not lying. Secondly, this woman, if guilty of this crime, should never teach again, and this is clearly taking advantage of someone by means of alcohol and authority. The part about him being a child, though, is total garbage, as if he had not been drunk, he could have fought back and not had sex with her. So, the situation is very strange, but the truth will be unveiled soon enough. This story also is similar to our story about the lap dancing teachers, as it proves that these people need to learn to keep their acts together and gain some boundaries.

It's been proven now that the students lied, as you can read here, which is what I had been weary of, and I feel that this woman has suffered a severe injustice through this accusation, so I apologize for ever commenting on a story so ironious and factless. More so, I apologize for writing in an accusatory manner, which may have been how the press depicted the story themselves, but a non biase interpretation would have been more fair.

Lap Dancing Teachers Suspended.

One of the biggest viral videos and hottest stories all began on a teenage girl's cell phone, when she chose to video tape the steamy sex simulation two teachers embarked on during a school assembly. A few weeks ago, I spoke on this topic, and now, the Churchill teachers' verdict has been decided. Trustee Mike Babinsky told the pres the mother of the Human Resources director died just days before the incident, which might explain why two weeks after suspension with pay, the teachers were brought in on seperate days and told they would be suspended indefinitely and without pay. While the male teacher has a contract, the female teacher is signed on yearly, so it is expected once the school year ends, she will not be asked to return to the staff. To clarify, a rumor started that the teachers suffered no punishment at all, because of the school's "no videophone or recording device" policy, which made the video insubstantial evidence and complete void of meaning. However, this is not at all the case, and the teachers are definitely being punished. To read about the original article, click here.

My opinion on this topic hasn't changed one bit, and I think it is a real shame these foolish teachers were suspended without pay. While a the board was not comfortable with this behaviour, students and parents were absolutely fine with it, or at least acknowledged it as a mere lapse in judgement. The girl who taped the incident regrets posting the steamy footage on the web to begin with, and her father agrees with her stand. I hope, though, that the way the school dealt with their punishment won't endanger future employment, just because they wil hopefully gain some wisdom with age, and learn that oral sex simulations in a high school gym are not the best way to make your employer happy.

Teacher Lap Dance During Assembly Sparks Controversy.


While S.A.C pep rallies have seen a lot of rowdiness, nothing compares to the racy footage caught on tape by Saigha Vincent, a Grade 9 student, at Churchill Highschool. The steamy clip involves the standard school gymnasium, then just add a laughing female teacher in a chair, and a male coworker simulating intercourse on top of her, in the middle of the gym. This formula creates the perfect viral video, becoming watched across the globe on social networks like Myspace and Facebook, and gathering hits rapidly on Youtube. The school, needless to say, found the video, oral sex simulation and all, and have now released a statement that the teachers have been sent home, with pay, while the school board decides what to do with them. The Winnipeg Teacher's Association president, Dave Najduch, thinks that their punishment could "range from nothing to job loss, and everything in between". Sooner than later, the promiscuous pair are bound to have their fate decided, with the world continuing to laugh at their poor situation.


I would like to state that these teachers are incredibly stupid for thinking this was funny or appropriate to do at an assembly, and that if they lost their jobs, they shouldn't complain, because it is pretty basic logic that teachers shouldn't be grinding up against other teachers in the gym. That being said, parents actually think the teachers don't deserve to lose their jobs, and that they think the video going viral was punishment enough. The videographer's father stated quite plainly "It's common. There's dancing stuff going on all the time, on dancing shows and that. I don't think it's that big a deal". One teenager's mother is being cited as saying, on her way to pick up her son from school, "We all make mistakes, You have to beware in this digital world, right? It's too bad. I think they were just trying to have fun, and try to be like the kids are today." And that they were, but school trustee, Mike Babinsky, thinks that this could go either way depending on the general consensus by human resources, parents, students, and other staff. Hopefully they won't lose their jobs, as I think something that silly isn't worth losing your job over, and not to be crass, but it's nothing the teens haven't seen before. Here is the link to the infamous lap dance, and soon enough, we'll see what the fate of the pair will be.
