Your Education Dollars at Work not Working
How low is this? An Oregon teacher is facing felony charges because she stole a winter coat from an 8-year-old student in her class. Afterwards, the mother of the girl went on eBay to find a replacement coat, and wouldn’t you know — she found a coat “hardly worn and in great shape” identical to her daughter’s and noticed the seller originated from the same city. The mother’s investigation eventually led to the arrest of Elizabeth Logan, who was charged with a computer crime and theft by receiving.
Man — I knew that teacher salaries were bad. But this bad?
It’s a shame she didn’t steal coats from two 9th grade students at Palm Harbor University High, who were each charged with one count of poisoning food or water with the intent to do harm.

Another student later purchased the apple juice and drank the piss on his way home on the bus. Those are the kinds of kids who deserve having their jackets stolen, right?
