- lucidguru, on 05/09/2008, -13/+639Yup, it's become apparent... teachers aren't allowed to be people anymore... not only will we not pay them enough, but we demand that they spend all their time at home alone when they aren't at school.
- Argentian, on 05/09/2008, -3/+323Good grief. If there are seven year olds watching the Howard Stern show, blame the parents, not the poor teacher.
- DeskFlyer, on 05/09/2008, -12/+309FTA: "I can't believe she would go on TV and do that when she is a second-grade teacher," said parent Dean LaPoint. "It just doesn't make sense."
What a prudish bitch. - ita4ever, on 05/09/2008, -22/+226Amen lucidguru. This is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Just b/c she was on the Stern show? Please! All those bible-thumpers are screwing everything up. She didn't do anything obscene/lewd. Just in a bikini, wow, what a messed up country we're living in.

My family has 5 teachers, and I've seen them all in bathing suits, and somehow I managed to still grow up normally, except for my digg addiction. - yosserhughes, on 05/09/2008, -6/+160Moderators please ban 'davidander' users IP.
All users, Do not click on the 'See movie link", if you do, don't download codec.
Its just a link to a porn site that's locks you in an endless loop and you have to use Task manager to close the Internet.
"It should be seen!
Teacher Fired After Wearing a Bikini on Howard Stern Show..." - enronias, on 05/09/2008, -3/+124Give me a ***** break, does that mean teachers can't go to the beach? . . . teachers can't swear? . . . since when are teachers just automatons expected to teach kids then go home and knit while watching soaps instead of living real lives. I hope she gets hired back and the whole school board gets fired, they have no ***** right to control her life like that.
- svtspeed, on 05/09/2008, -6/+105"I can't believe she would go on TV and do that when she is a second-grade teacher."
I can. She is a teacher making roughly 35-40 thousand dollars a year probably having to spend a portion of that on her classroom (as most teachers do.) An extra $5000 in the bank just for waring a bathing suit? Why the hell not - besides shes hot! Its not like she is sleeping with her students or anything. - inactive, on 05/09/2008, -14/+98That'll teach her.
- CharlesMay, on 05/09/2008, -0/+84Yea, what you said EXCEPT that with your argument how the hell does that affect a 2nd grade child? The real problem would be with the parents allowing their 2nd grade child to watch Howard Stern! Go back to sleep, it's past your bedtime.
- Merendino, on 05/09/2008, -2/+81Whats even more ***** up, is that the Howard Stern show is regulated so that adults only watch it. Why would they care if a 2nd grade teacher was on it. Her students can't watch the show anyhow.... why the ***** have ratings if you're not going to use them like they are intended.... ***** AMATEURS!
- PabloMac, on 05/09/2008, -2/+79Task Manager can close the Internet!? Please, nobody close the Internet!
- neognostic, on 05/09/2008, -2/+78OMG! That means those girls in the ads in newspapers, magazines, and on TV clad only in a bra and panties should be whipped, and my eyes torn out for looking at them too. Wake up prude.
- Four20, on 05/09/2008, -5/+69This was the 'hottest chick with the ugliest dude' contest. . .best contest ever!
- lnf69, on 05/09/2008, -11/+72A 4th grad teacher in a bikini!!!
Next we'll have them teaching that the human body is a temple! And that illustrations and representations of the human naked body can sometimes, if rarely, be considered some sort of ART and not pornography.
It's liberal's like this immoral woman who are trying to make this country into some sort of place where freedom reigns!!!
/sarc..... blah blah. - rbk303, on 05/09/2008, -2/+62It's funny these days how employers think they own your entire life.
- URnotheonly1, on 05/09/2008, -3/+63Old angry baby boomers disrupt another life of an Free American
- BetterOffEd, on 05/09/2008, -2/+62"A 55 year-old female from Texas (US) who joined Digg on May 9th, 2008"
Just joined Digg TODAY? Hmmm.... I smell a troll......
. - DonCarcharo, on 05/09/2008, -2/+62Complaining to the superintendent is pointless. This is her fault. She should have read that wanted ad for the teaching position a little more closely...
"Position requires a college degree, multiple certifications, ongoing training, seminars and extensive background checks and clearances. While all teachers will receive summers off (which is convenient because you'll need a second job in order to survive on this salary), please note that this is a full time position and therefore you will be expected to assume the role of a teacher, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in public and in private. As such, we suggest you spend your spare time at home creating lesson plans and grading assignments. Don't even think of having a social life - it will not be tolerated. Males are encouraged to stay far, far away from this position unless they want to end up as chemically castrated sexual offenders." - nblsavage, on 05/09/2008, -1/+60and? Was she doing it while teaching her class?
- aphexcoil, on 05/09/2008, -7/+65I look forward to her follow-up lawsuit. Firing someone for doing something on their own personal time that is neither immoral or illegal? Jury trail, please. Thank you school district, for settling out of court for a mid 6-figure payout.
- Ghstfce, on 05/09/2008, -1/+51Honestly, I had a really hot 5th grade teacher. If I had even seen her in a bikini I think I would have gotten straight A's. I'd hang on to every word she ever said. I don't see what the problem was, it's not like she rode the Sybian thing, she was in a bikini. Wow, big deal. And is she not allowed to go to the beach because of the people that would see her? Stupid F'ing people. No wonder this world is nothing but pussies nowadays.
- Gamer2k4, on 05/09/2008, -1/+50It's not necessarily Bible-thumpers. Just a bunch of tools who don't understand three things:
1) Wearing a bikini does not affect your ability to teach.
2) Second graders shouldn't be watching the Howard Stern show.
3) If they ARE watching it, they've probably already seen things that are more inappropriate than a woman in a swimsuit. - allengeer, on 05/09/2008, -4/+53Stupidity like this deserves spam:

blajoie@southingtonschools.org - SPThom, on 05/09/2008, -2/+47We allow teachers to be among the lowest-paid professionals in the country, yet expect them to run their lives as saints to "think of the children"? If you want more out of your teachers, be willing to pay more than the pathetic amount they get paid now. Otherwise, STFU. And in any case, what they do, when they aren't in the classroom or around your child, is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
This story should have no bearing on your child in any way, unless you let your second-grader watch the Howard Stern show, in which case, the kid has worse problems than a bikini-clad homeroom teacher. - NeoCortex, on 05/09/2008, -0/+42I like the comment from the last person in the video linked in the article:
"People say she was great with the children and a phenomenal teacher, and sometimes that's important, too"
Sometimes that's important too? *****. Shouldn't that be the primary thing that matters? - inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+40People should mind their own ***** business and stop worrying about people who aren't breaking any laws.
- V3n0M, on 05/09/2008, -0/+39Agreed. It's not as if there are 2nd graders watching Howard Stern - and if there are, it is their parents responsibility to allow them to or not to - and if they are allowed to then the parents should know what they are seeing and be ok with it.
- Spire3660, on 05/09/2008, -2/+39By who's measure? yours? Do you think she should have been fired for going to the BEACH in a bikini too? Grow up, what she does outside of school is none of the district's business.
- URnotheonly1, on 05/09/2008, -2/+38Is your kid watching Howard Stern?
- BoneheadFarker, on 05/09/2008, -1/+36...then to work with a bunch of uptight pricks? Yeah, she should have known better...
- brownr21, on 05/09/2008, -6/+40Please kill yourself.
- chrisduser, on 05/09/2008, -5/+39I can't be a teacher and a part time male stripper? But that is my life goal.
- IphtashuFitz, on 05/09/2008, -1/+35Teacher is married? Does that mean that somebody who actually has SEX is teaching my kids? God forbid that my children learn that my teacher engages in sexual activity!
- WasabiBomb, on 05/09/2008, -1/+34Please explain why anyone should be concerned about a teachers off-duty, LEGAL actions.
- o0joshua0o, on 05/09/2008, -1/+33Are bikinis legally considered obscene or lewd? If not, she has not overstepped her bounds.
- Dietrich, on 05/09/2008, -3/+34No they aren't. They are supposed to teach. They aren't paid enough to be role models. That's what PARENTS are for.
- acdcfanbill, on 05/09/2008, -2/+33Yes, because it would be against the law to fire her for something like that, so they just apply pressure and get the local media involved and whip up some controversy with parents forcing her to resign. It's still a sham.
- Willravel, on 05/09/2008, -4/+34Puritan Brigade to the rescue! Sure our children will all get pregnant at 14 because we refused to admit that they even think about sex, but we've won the day!!!
- h3lx, on 05/09/2008, -0/+30Hot ass and a nice rack netting $5000 seems like great judgement to me.
- WasabiBomb, on 05/09/2008, -1/+28If teachers aren't allowed to have private lives in which they can do whatever the hell they want, assuming it's legal, the PAY THEM MORE. They're individuals, not live-in nannybots for your offspring. They teach your children facts- YOU teach your children how to behave.
- Metman, on 05/09/2008, -0/+27"I can't believe she would go on TV and do that when she is a second-grade teacher," said parent Dean LaPoint. "It just doesn't make sense."
....Meanwhile back at the LaPoint household Dean puts on a latex body suit and gets drilled by his wife with a strap-on. However, since he is not a teacher.... - NeoCortex, on 05/09/2008, -0/+26We have mods? That's news to me.
- h4k0r, on 05/09/2008, -3/+29Pussy ass sensitive people need to get a grip. Holy crap, she made sexual comments about her husband. She cant teach second graders and still have sex with her husband......how immoral can you be.
Like these school board members never did anything wrong before. I'm sure they have sex with their spouses and wear bathing suits......fire them all!!!! We cannot have that kind of indecency around our kids - Forsakenmantra, on 05/09/2008, -4/+30I think the from Texas explains a lot, no offense to normal people that also happen to live in Texas.
- random12345, on 11/16/2008, -1/+24You mean... "THE Internet"?!?!?!?
wow... thats powerful... - iidestined, on 05/09/2008, -6/+28What is wrong with the world. People are outraged when their teacher wears a bathing suit while our economy is going down the drain, gas is at an all time high, our troops are dying for no good reason. Why don't they use their energy to go read up on the presidential candidates.
ugh! - drakenlot, on 05/09/2008, -1/+21True, maybe she resigned because $5000 was more than she would ever earn as a teacher.
- assbeard, on 05/09/2008, -0/+20What I love is how these people can criticize her for being on the show, yet here they are either watching it or looking it up on the web. It's not like she was "interrupting our regular programming for this important message from a teacher in a bikini."
I hate prudes who feel that everyone should feel the same way they do. - punkcat, on 05/09/2008, -1/+20wife: "hey honey, you're ugly, lets get on the show."
husband: "thanks hun, sure." -
