IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS IN PINEY LAND?

I have to admit something that I'm not sure that I've ever admitted in this blog before. I'm officially a "Piney"! What is that? It's a nickname for people who live in the Pine Barrens region of Southern New Jersey. Apparently, I've been a Piney for the past four years new since moving down to this region. Here's the problem, though I'm from the Northern region and am technically a New Yorker, we don't seem to fit with the lifestyle down here. I'll give you an example. A teacher down here recently found two 5-year-olds naked and having sex in the bathroom. WHAT? And now she might lose her job over it!

That's right! The rural South Jersey school district of Mullica Township seeks to remove kindergarten school teacher Kelly Mascio after two 5-year-old students, a boy and a girl, were found naked in the bathroom of her classroom on September 30. The two younger students told the teacher they were "having sex." Okay, what 5-year-old speaks like that and how is this any fault of Mascio's except that the kids were under her supervision? Shouldn't their parents be the ones to blame for teaching them about sex at the age of 5? I am telling you, these Pineys get married early, probably have sex at age 5 or 6, and are divorced by the age of 12. By the time they're 20, they've been married three times. Elizabeth Taylor could have been a Piney! Almost every person we're friends with down here has been married at least once. I'm still on my first, thank God! I'm telling you it's a different culture here.

Anyway, Mascio, a teacher in the district for 15 years, actually reported the incident to her supervisor and police were called immediately. The teacher was then suspended with pay and no criminal charges filed. Wait a minute! How is this her fault if the kids sneaked into the bathroom to do this? She reported the incident. How can she lose her job? And why would criminal charges even be brought up. It's not like she put them in the bathroom naked. The Mullica Township Board of Education voted Wednesday to bring charges against the educator through the state to seek to remove her from her position. I still don't understand why?

Luckily the Mascio has a lot of support in the community as 200 people showed up to support her at the meeting. President of the Mullica Township Education Association, Babrbara Rheault stated, "Our main concern is that the administration has completely forgone all traditional disciplinary avenues available in handling the incident. The administration has selected a disciplinary route that resulted in enormous emotional and professional turmoil and has strained the confidence and trust of school staff, parents and community members." The Mullica school board did not state why Mascio was placed on leave or why they are moving forward with the possible termination. The only way that I can see Mascio being terminated is if she stripped the kids herself and told them they had to have sex in the bathroom, but if that were the case, why would she report the incident? It makes no sense whatsoever, which leads me to believe that once again am witnessing a South Jersey organization overreact to something when they don't have their facts together. Being a Piney is now what it's cracked up to be. Is it cracked up to be anything at all? 

QUEEN OF THE TEEN SEX PARTIES ONLY GETS PROBATION

Here's another story about yet another horny teacher! Where in the hell were these teachers when I was in school? Plus, the teachers when I was in school definitely didn't look like this. My teachers were normally older or typically men. Teachers these days just don't seem to care about having flings with their teenaged students. It used to be something that you only saw in movies or simply just fantasized about. Now, those fantasies are becoming realities. Only in reality, the teachers get into a lot of trouble for living out these fantasies. 

Take this former South Carolina preschool teacher for instance. Yes, I said preschool! She threw alcohol and pot-fueled sex parties for local teens, but was recently spared jail time and sentenced to probation instead! 46-year-old Audrey Grabarkiewicz will be avoiding prison as long as she stays out of trouble during a three year period and serves 120 hours of community service.

It turns out; Grabarkiewicz and another former teacher, Sarah Jane Lindsay, were busted in September of 2010 after police discovered that there hosting summertime sex gatherings for middle school and high school students. I don't really condone this, but if I was still in high school, this would've been totally rad! According to prosecutors, the middle-aged duo supplied the teens with booze and marijuana, and even had sex with several of them. Is it me or is it getting hot in here? Like I said before, where were these teachers when I was in high school?

Grabarkiewicz faced 10 counts of corrupting a minor, while Lindsay, who taught 4-year-old Kindergarten, faced 9 counts of the same charge, as well as the more serious charge of having sex with someone under 14. The age of consent in South Carolina is 16. That is so hot! Needless to say, both teachers were fired, and Grabarkiewicz, who at the time was married, was served with divorce papers shortly after the arrest.

 Ramping up to the trial, authorities uncovered a series of Facebook posts from around the time of the alleged parties. Several posts referred to Grabarkiewicz's wild weekend parties, while others suggested that married mom was hot for another man as she wrote, “You know that feeling when you can't stop thinking about somebody? Just saying....." I'm sorry, but I'm happy she only got probation for this. She didn't really commit any crime. She was just horny! Okay, maybe she committed adultery, but the whole teacher seducing student thing is so.....well you know!
