I always wondered what a “teacher institute day” was.

Principal, teacher quit after sex video surfaces
POSTED: 11:06 p.m. EDT, April 13, 2007
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A principal and a teacher at a suburban elementary school quit amid allegations they were caught on video having sex in the principal's office, authorities say.
In keeping with Cook County's reputation for bare-knuckle politics, the scandal broke after copies of the sex tape were mailed anonymously to parents this week, just days before a contested school board election.
The case has also created something of a mystery: Who planted the camera that recorded the action?
Leroy Coleman and Janet Lofton submitted their resignations after meeting with the district superintendent Thursday, said John Izzo, board attorney for the Sandridge Elementary School district, about 20 miles south of Chicago.
Izzo said that Coleman, the school's principal since 2005, wrote that he was quitting for health reasons. He said Lofton wrote that she was stepping down immediately "due to the illness of a family member."
Kim Grivakis, the mother of a 13-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy who attend the school, said she received a copy of the 2½-hour DVD in the mail Wednesday. She organized a meeting Thursday with other parents to call for action from the school board.

The Cook County Sheriff's Department is investigating.
"At this point we don't know if a crime has been committed," department spokeswoman Penny Mateck said, adding that investigators had a copy of the video.
...
Copies of the video, apparently taped in December and January from the date stamps on it, emerged just days before Tuesday's elections. Eight candidates are competing for four board slots.
"How come it took five days before the election?" said School Board President Cheryl Ward said. "I think that is sick."
Yeah, Cook County politics is brutal, but let’s cut to the most salient part of the story.
This bit:
“…received a copy of the 2½-hour DVD in the mail Wednesday.”
Two-and-one half hours?
Bravo, dedicated educators.
Bravo!

They're called "In Service" days down in this neck o' the woods.
Ew.
oh yeah. I've got a teaching certificate, too.
Lots of bloggers do. The combination of teaching certificate and blogosphere "credentials" means we can go at it for HOURS.
I love the mailing to parents bit. Did they use a netflix envelope, just for fun?
Seriously love you, Drifty. Seriously love you.
2 1/2 hours? Hoo-RAH! That was (insert bad pun here).
Possible bad puns:
a teachable moment
one long class session
a grueling meeting
just another example of the daily grind
one dedicated teacher
one dedicated principle
one teacher determined to get ahead
one teacher that's going down
OK, OK, I'm done. Bitterharvest out.
Might we expect the, ahem, more tame portions of this, ahem, opus, to serve as the backbone of an upcoming series of commercials for, I don't know, pick it, Cialis, Viagra, or whatever?
Inquiring minds wanna know . . .
This is an amazing but little-publicised benefit of AFT membership.
Support your local union!
Further reading into this naughty bit shows that it was indeed 2.5 hours of footage, but this consisted of two seperate events, with two different teachers (same principle). When applying the Wilt 'The Stilt' Chamberlain standard of Carnitude, this lil peccadillo is still measured in geologic time (one 'Stilt' = ~5.23 partners / hour)

Oh dear sweet mother of god...
If I got a dvd in the mail of the Boy's teacher and principal engaging in hijinx, I think I would have to boil my brain in bleach to cleanse the unholy images. God of my fathers, the horror!
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,
Im hot for teacher.
I got it bad, so bad,
Im hot for teacher.
