HAMILTON, Ohio – A school spokesman said a southwest Ohio teacher has resigned after acknowledging she accompanied four female students to a male strip club. Butler Tech school district spokesman Bill Solazzo said the 47-year-old teacher resigned Thursday.

He said the teacher told Edgewood High School administrators that the students, all cheerleaders, asked her to take them to the bar in February.

The teacher told school officials in an e-mail that she got permission from the parents of the 17- and 18-year-olds to bring them to the club.

The teacher taught marketing at the school and previously served as a coach for the district's eighth-grade cheerleaders.

4. She was offering the girls job opportunities.

I mean, the only other careers for cheerleaders after high school are prostitution, topless dancing and marriage to CEO's. (Pretty much all the same thing.) She should be commended. At least she wasn't humiliating or torturing students, like most other teachers.

I don't see the problem

9. Wait a second.. She taught MARKETING???

Since when is that a priority to teach in High School. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Even more dumb than taking 17 year olds to a strip club.
