See? These teachers ARE doing their job

...by teaching the world to not educate their children in Florida.

This just in: 150 Florida teachers have been disciplined for sexual misconduct since 2006.

So no, it does not just seem like it's happening a lot here. It is. 

A phenomenon that has been made public by Debra Lafave and Stephanie Ragusa is spreading here in the Sunshine State, fulfilling the adolescent dreams that are truly the stuff of Van Halen songs.

I will use the remainder of this post to highlight the more notable offenses. It makes me want to send my kids (when I have them) to boarding school in Austria. Vacation spot is stunning, and I know they won't end up in court pointing to an anatomically correct doll.

• "a former Apopka High teacher accused of flashing a teenage student with whom she was having an affair";
• "secretly watching a boy change and shower";
• "a ninth grade student in Tampa who asked a student about the color of her nipples";
• "a Port Orange teacher that sent text messages to a boy, calling him "cutie" and "sexie" (oh, the spelling!_

And to comfort you, please note that this figure of 150 does not include "the number of educators who have been suspended or lost their teaching license for molesting non-students, downloading porn on school computers, having sex in public, and trying to pick up prostitutes. Not to mention offenses committed by substitute teachers. Knowing some of the people I know that have been permitted to substitute teach, this could be a WHOLE lot worse.

So seriously consider home school for your little ones, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

Ugh.
