Aldine ISD police: Middle school teacher gives student lap dance

Whoops.

So anyways, a middle school teacher gives a 15 year old a lap dance for his birth day in class. What a retarded teacher, because of course it was taped. For dang near 4 minutes. I'm sure the kids a hero to all his buddies though. This happened back in February and they just got around to doing something about it this past week.

The teacher, Felicia Smith, staged the lap dance in her classroom at Stovall Middle School on February 26, reports local CBS affiliate KHOU.

When police interviewed the unnamed student, he said Smith, 42, had seductively placed a school chair in front of the classroom after the tardy bell rang. Music began to play – from some undisclosed source – and several students in the class began yelling raucously that the birthday boy should sit down in the chair.

Once the kid sat down, the fortysomething teacher gave him what was perhaps his first full-contact lap dance. According to a police report, Smith did the thing where she turned around and swiveled her butt on the middle school student. She rubbed her hands all over his body. She also got down on her knees and stuck her head between the boy’s legs.

It’s not clear if the kid enjoyed the lap dance. However, he admitted that he did slap Smith’s ass a couple times.

WTH?

If this is "common core" curriculum, I say send me back to school

Seriously, though, what the hell is happening with schools and teachers in this country?

I had several teachers I wouldn't have minded lap dances from.

Yeah, she is stupid. That's obviously not acceptable behavior from a teacher, but it's a victimless crime in my opinion. Not anything to get worked up over anyway.

Was she hot?
That's very important in determining the degree of the offense.

Now, forgive me if I seem a little ignorant, but a lap dance does not strike me as the first gift that springs to mind, when a teacher considers the celebration of a students birthday. A new set of mathematical instruments, a calculator, a book pertaining to the students favourite subject, or perhaps a book whose focus is aimed at a subject for which he shows less aptitude than necessary.

Perhaps at the very most, a case of beers at a dead drop would be appropriate, if the student is in a military academy of some sort and has done well.

But, sitting the poor fellow down and shaking her ass at him? I mean, it is not as if there is any way to interpret that in such a way as to cast this woman in any other light than... well, a total wrong'un.

Victimless? The whole place are victims. Without respect and a professional attitude in class no one is learning anything. The parents also are victims, maybe this is not the kind of behavior they wanted taught their son at school by a 42 year old!

She gained favor with some of the kids but none will be respecting her.

Teachers do not give birthday presents as it would mean having to give them to each and every student, the whole thing is ridiculous and clearly a teacher should have more brains.

I would flip out on any woman that sexually assaulted my son that way.
That's disgusting and abusive.

Just as an aside though, wth is with the writing in that article? There's a local source for the story somewhere.

Obviously things like this are not acceptable. However, with that said, I also don't see why it is being blown out of proportion. Is it really something that should ruin someone's life? It is not like she actually had a sexual relationship with the student, and apparently the student was not traumatized or anything, so who exactly is the victim? I am not saying it is acceptable, and something probably needs to be done. However I think cooler heads should prevail, and that the woman should not have the book thrown at her.

I would be willing to bet that this teacher would be on her best behavior for the rest of her career, if she is ever allowed to teach again, and at the end of the day if nobody was hurt, should people really be outraged? Is it that big of a deal? Again, I am not condoning it, just stating the simple fact that it is kind of humorous, since it was not actually statutory rape or anything like that. I think the woman simply made a bad decision, and I just hope her life and career are not ruined by that decision.

Shouldn't punishment be about rehabilitation most of the time? Our society needs to take lawbreakers and get to the root of the problem and attempt to fix it if at all possible. Now if this woman simply did something completely stupid and inappropriate because of a lapse in judgement, then shouldn't that mean something? Anyone can do something stupid, although maybe not this stupid, but not everyone thinks the same.

And because I know someone will say it, I will address the following issue: Just because she did this does not mean that she would necessarily have taken it further, actually consummating any type of relationship with a student. So she was not necessarily putting any children in danger. That is an assumption, and an assumption shouldn't be made when someone's life is potentially at stake. Well her life itself isn't at stake, as she won't get the death penalty, but the outcome could potentially alter her life in a manner that is NOT proportional to the crime she committed.

And to be honest I don't know what she was charged with, and whether it is an actual crime or simply a violation of school policy. I should have read the article more thoroughly I suppose. But I know what will happen. Those who do not consider this that big of a deal will remain silent while those who are completely outraged will push to have something drastic done, and I don't think it is necessary. And I would be willing to bet that those pushing the hardest will be female, interpret that how you will.

At her age, she should have known better. There is no excuse for such behavior from a teacher. She should no longer have a position in any area working with kids.

Grinding her butt on his crotch, kissing him, saying I love you? Letting him slap her butt?

Yeah of course any 15 year old boy with out of control hormones telling him to hump anything that moves is probably going to enjoy that. 15 year old girls enjoy sexual attention and touches too. But they should be being taught appropriately not learning from the molestations of a sexually mature adult.

I want my son to understand the emotions involved with sexuality, not just the physical and visual stimulation. How the hell can I expect him to have a healthy concept of sex and relationships based on respect and love if his teacher is going to molest him?

She ought to be in jail.

You say in one breathe it is not acceptable but then try and justify it? It is not acceptable behavior in any classroom . Her life will not be ruined, and she should lose her teaching job forever. It was the teacher's decision to do it...suffer the consequences.
I wouldn't want her teaching in any school my child is at.

If it was a dude giving a 15 year old girl a chip n dale routine, people would be calling for his nuts to be removed. I don't know what is wrong with people these days. These are supposed to be the people teaching our kids? Unreal.

So here is a pic of the offender in question.



The funny thing is... It's that she has held a reputation as one of those teachers who could give a...

I think of all the education that I missed. But my homework was never quite like this.

(shameless plug to david lee roth)

What makes me, it's that they decide two months later to charge her with a crime. Ridiculous. All in all.

Totally off topic and relevant at the same time. Watch the movie Don Jon and see how pornography and the objectifying of women makes a man feel inside in the long run. People tend to fill a void the best that they know how.

People are both understandable and un/understandable at various times.

Judgment and common sense are needed to be taught in different fashion, because how they do it nowadays is not getting done.

Seems to me we have a real difference of ages here. I don't care what gender is for either one at that range with a minor, it's just sick and criminal. Criminal is self evident, as she just learned.

What about ethics?? This wouldn't even fly in a college where everyone is the same age in the eyes of the law.

Wow.... A new day, a new outrage within our schools. A land and law unto themselves, by some opinions within them it seems. Fortunately, not all, since it was the school police and district filing the charges here.
