Love Malvern Style?

Nice to see my high school alma mater, Malvern High School, making headlines. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of headlines you want: two teachers arrested on charges of sexual assault of a student.

In May, a substitute teacher was arrested after a student claimed he had sex with her. Said one student, "she was like the coolest sub here." Indeed.

Now this week, another teacher has been arrested. Heather Carter, 30, is charged after a 17-year-old female student said the two had a sexual relationship.

Guess that probably overshadows the Malvern Quiz Bowl team placing third in the small school division of the high school national championship tournament held earlier this month. Go Leopards!

Certainly makes the motto "Its here for the taking", emblazened on the side of the school, take on a completely new meaning.

Jon, any word on whether either of these two are locals (the adults, errr...grown ups, wait a minute...the individuals that are biologically older)? Their ages make me think that if they are, I could have known them.

Back in my day, playing tonsil hockey with the sub was discouraged. These kids today...

I think it is about time to change that motto!

My lessons were never quite like that! What you left out Jon was that the first teacher that was busted was "allegedly" trading drugs and alcohol for sex with the boys. What is this world coming to when you have to bribe 16 year old boys to have sex with their teachers!! In my day drugs and alcohol wasn't really the goal, but I guess I am getting old.

Go Leapards!
