I know it was wrong but remembering my own gym classes I would have paid the dyke

Pay a buck to skip gym class? No sweat- Washington Post, February 17, 2006
Miami -- What with all those calisthenics and sweating, some kids would rather pay than go to gym class. If only they had Terence Braxton, police say, as a teacher.
Braxton allowed kids to skip his class if they paid him $1 a day, according to charges filed by authorities in Escambia County, Fla. They say he may have racked up as much as $1,000 or more over three months. The 28-year-old teacher has been charged with six felony counts of bribery and surrendered Thursday at a Pensacola jail. He was released on his own recognizance.
The second-year teacher at Ernest Ward Middle School in a rural area on Florida's Panhandle was popular and coached the boys' basketball team. Beginning teachers make about $30,000. "The basketball team had lost every game for five years," Principal Nancy Gindl-Perry said. "This year, we only lost two games, and they were only by two points. He had a very good rapport with the kids."
Suspicions about Braxton arose during a parent-teacher conference, when the teacher known as "Coach Braxton" and a student differed on attendance records.
Braxton resigned last month.
