OLSM Men's Baseball was #1 in the nation a couple years ago, and the coach is the son of former Detroit Tiger Dan Petry

From what I've heard from people who's kids go there, he was texting a 14yo female student.

When my mother was a senior in high school, she dated her 25 year old teacher. Apparently he picked a senior every year, and she was the It Girl in 1958.

He'll land a job at some Christian Academy out of state within a month unless he's heading to prison.  Even then 50/50 am I right? .

 

I learned well after graduation the shenanigans some of my teachers were pulling off in high school.  There was always a rumor about teacher/student relationships but what I learned truly shocked me.  The depth and frequency that it happened was remarkable.  

My favorite teacher, a very well educated man, ended up leaving his wife and marrying a former student 20 years his younger he taught in school and reportedly had frequent hookups in school and during hours.   They're still married 30 years later with a wonderful family but jesus H, the conversations at holidays had to be something.
