Hmmm, you may be right, just wondering if he's 22 or 42.

 

He did say if only I was 20 years younger which leads me to believe he was in his 40's or close to it.

Does it surprise anyone that Eric Deter's law firm are the ones taking the case on behalf of the band director? What scum bags.

So am I correct in saying the list of horny teachers in NKY is now Highlands, Holmes and Dixie?

 

PP92, we in NKY are lovers not fighters :sssh:

...and allegedly Bellevue but she got off on her charges.

Maybe not the "best" choice of words.

Not a bit surprised.

 

As for his excuses for these texts:

 

A. That is not "counseling."

 

B. Even if you buy the idea that these are not sexually oriented conversations, the man appears to show no concept of proper boundaries.

If I were ever accused of any crimes, I know they'd be the first and only law firm I called. May not like them, but they are damn good at what they do.

Parents - talk to your children and be viligant with protecting them. Start early while they listen. For every one of these situations that we hear and read about, there are others that have not come to the surface. There is a lot of evil in the world. It is worth the risk of being seen as nosy and snooping in their business.

Doesn't tell how old he is but he graduated from NKU in 2007. So I'd guess in his late 20s best case.

 

You ALWAYS have to watch out for those International Tuba Euphonium Association types.

Sage advice.

That's so funny; I was thinking the same thing! Those guys are hell raisers...and man do they know how to party. :lol2:

 

I'm guessing the teacher is the guy on the right and he looks 40ish the other guy is too well dressed like a slickster lawyer lol

Is sending text messages, especially not explicitly sexual (clearly the sexual nature is implied), to a minor a crime? I'm asking, because I seriously don't know.

 

I'm assuming that's all the article meant. While he may not have broken any laws, his behavior has cost him his job. Definitely not worded very well.

 

I'd imagine that if you are a coach and you text your players' "No practice today", it's no different than calling them at home or sending them an email. Of course, the difference here would be that there is a reason for the message and it isn't being sent to just one student, but probably most of the team, etc.

 

Even if it isn't a crime, I'd imagine most schools have a broadly worded "Code of Conduct" that teachers need to abide by, and texting a student back and forth just to chit-chat probably falls under some definition of "Unprofessional Conduct", or something similar and is kind of asking for trouble.

 

Even if it's not against a policy, you know you are opening the door to problems that COULD occur, and in that case, things like texts (especially when others don't receive them) don't look good.

I'm not familiar with what the rules are, but I'd say stay away from texting all together. Use Twitter instead for announcements like that so that there is a public record.

A father figure like that is called incest.
