YOUR 15 MINUTES: Classroom Disruptions

Top 5 recent middle school scandals

Things like this NEVER happened during all 20ish years of my education…except for that girl from the special ed. class who had sex at my senior prom but I’m still not sure if that’s just a rural legend:

Principal charged with dealing crystal meth A middle school principal was charged with dealing crystal methamphetamine after police found the drug in his school office. John Acerra, 50, of Allentown, was arrested last Tuesday in his offichis offic a Nitschmann Middle School in Bethlehem, where police said they found him sitting at his desk watching gay pornography with meth on the desk. Police said they began investigating Acerra in early February after an informant told them that the principal was using and distributing the drug. Acerra was arrested in his office after allegedly selling drugs to the informant, authorities said. There was no indication that Acerra sold the drug to students, but Acerra did allegedly sell the drug from his school office after hours and on weekends, said Dennis Mihalopoulos, an agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Principal Bought Crack in Middle School Office A middle school principal made a deal to buy $20 worth of crack cocaine in his office a few weeks ago while students were still on campus, authorities said. Anthony Giancola, 41, principal of Van Buren Middle School in Tampa, was arrested in the school lobby at 3:45 p.m. on Feb 22 after buying drugs from an undercover police officer, Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said. Giancola told the undercover officer he wanted to buy $200 worth of crack cocaine in his office at 7:30 p.m., McElroy said. Then Giancola allegedly decided he wanted only $20 worth of crack and wanted to meet while school was still in session, McElroy said.

Middle school teacher arrested for allegedly having sex with five boys A middle school teacher accused of having sex with at least five boys — some of them students at her school — was arrested Wednesday, authorities said. Police began investigating Allenna Williams Ward, 23, after school officials recovered a note containing inappropriate messages, said Clinton Public Safety Director John Thomas. Ward, who is married, had sexual encounters with the 14- and 15-year-old boys at various locations, including in the school, at a motel, in a park and behind a restaurant, from December to this month, according to arrest warrants. Some of the victims were students at Ward's school, Thomas said. Ward was placed on administrative leave with pay last Thursday, acting district Superintendent Laura Koskela said.

School district confirms sixth graders had sex in shop class School district officials in Indianapolis have confirmed a disturbing case of sixth graders engaging in intercourse in a shop class, all while a teacher was present. Warren Township Schools Associate Superintendent Jeff Swensson confirmed yesterday that the incident actually happened and that it has been kept under wraps since last November. No one, including the principal of the school, Raymond Park Middle, or the superintendent in charge of middle schools, would give interviews about the situation. The middle school superintendent did issue a written statement: "Two students were involved in inappropriate conduct in a lab class last semester. We have investigated the matter and taken appropriate action. The school corporation considers the matter closed and will have no further comment." Swensson told 13 Eyewitness News off camera that the teacher in question was clueless about the activity because another student acted as a "look-out." He said once the teacher was aware of what was going on in the class, action was taken, and that the students involved were all recommended for expulsion, but he did not know if the school board followed that recommendation. No report was made to police, and no school board member has made comment on the matter.

Registered Sex Offender Poses as a 7th Grade Student for 50 Days Acording to officials in Arizona, Neil Rodreick, a 29-year-old convicted sex offender, posed as a 12-year-old seventh grade student named 'Casey Price' at Rosefield Charter School for 50 days before anyone took notice of something suspicious. Unfortunately, it seems this was not the first time Rodreick has posed as a child. Rodreick was caught attempting to enroll in a middle school in Chino Valley, and it was later discovered he had successfully enrolled in two other Arizona middle schools as well. Whether Rodreick actually attended those other schools has not yet been determined. Rodreick was described by teachers and staff to be a quiet student who did well on his homework, ate lunch with other students, walked in the halls with them, and who had no disciplinary or behavioral problems. Staff members at the Arizona charter school finally called police to investigate a suspicious 'older-looking' student. To their surprise and embarrassment, and to the shock and outrage of parents, Neil Rodreick was discovered at the school, blending in amongst the students. Law enforcement deputies discovered Rodreick was living with 61 year old Lonnie Stiffler, who posed as Rodreick's grandfather. Another roommate, Robert Snow, also lived with Rodreick and Stiffler. Rodreick has been reported to have been sexually involved with both men (who were nasty, old and toothless) and it is believed both men thought Rodreick to be a 12 year old boy, having met him on the internet approximately two years before this incident. Both men were quoted by law enforcement officers as stating they were upset to learn they had been having sex with a grown man and not a 12-year-old boy.

Since Neil Rodreick likes to pretend to be 12 and will apparently have sex with ANYTHING, I think he and Allenna Williams Ward should start dating. She looks about 12, he could pretend to be 12, they could have sex, they could go rollerskating together and it would all still be perfectly legal. Neil and Allenna sitting in a tree M-O-L-E-S-T-I-N-G. I say give them all a lifetime sentence of detention. Take all the main characters out of these stories, put them into one school and you'd have one hell of an interesting middle school. Sex, drugs...we just need a band to do a guest appearance at an assembly...
