QUOTE ALBANY, N.Y. -- A yank on a child's underwear has a teacher in big trouble. Albany police have charged 41-year-old Mark Holley of Scotia with endangering the welfare of a child for giving a student a wedgie. Holley's a teacher at New Covenant Charter School in Albany. Police say that during summer school, while a 10-year-old New Covenant student was in the bathroom, Holley grabbed the child's underwear and pulled it up. The student's mother reported the incident to the school, but police were not notified until January. The arrest came after an investigation where police interviewed both the child and the teacher. Do you think the teacher should have been arrested? It's odd that this happened in summer school and didn't get reported for 6 months. |

Well it is kinda weird that a teacher would give a student a wedgie. I mean, don't they know better than that? I think the teacher should get fired but not sent to jail.

I hate it when schools keep things under wraps. I can think of one particular, "prestigious" school that lies about their students being the top picks for college and having the best department for a certain subject. I will not name the school but I hope someday it gets uncovered.
I think something should be done to the teacher AND the school. That is inapporpriate for a teacher. A child's underwear should not be touched by a teacher. The teacher should at least be suspended without pay, being arrested seems a bit much. |

Yeah, the teacher should get fired, but I think arresting him is taking it a bit too far. Giving a student a wedgie is so inappropriate.

unless the kid was upset about it, id on't think there's any reason to fire him, let alone arrest him. i dont know, i think we should give the teacher a little slack. it's a joke, that's all.

A wedgie might seem like a harmless joke, but really...how is it, in any way, appropriate for a teacher to do it to a child? Shouldn't he have more sense than that? What a dumbass. He should've been fired.

I would have called thepolice myself not report it to the office... How retaarded.

At my elementary school (the one I used to go to), a 2nd grade teacher got arrested and fired for putting scotch tape on a kid's mouth. The class was like, "Do it! Do it! Do it!" and laughing and then a parent walked by and called the police. I hate those stupid prudes. They just want to create drama, but they don't realize that it can really screw up someone's life. The teacher is no longer able to get a teaching job in the same district, so she's moving. It was everyone's favorite teacher too... |

Back years ago, teachers would give wedgies and spank kids with paddles and everything and no one gave it a second thought... now they go to jail. Interesting.

thats pretty funny =x
but i dont think he should've been taken to jail. Maybe like suspension from the school or like being fired would have been a better idea. There was an incident at my school where this gym teacher locked a girl up in a storage room and made her clean it just cause the student wasn't dressed in the appropraite gym uniform. She started crying cause she saw a cockaroach in it >< The teacher ended up getting fired i think. Im not sure. Some people said that she was going through stress cause she was pregnat and she was a gym teacher having to deal with half of the school. |

I'd love to hear the story behind this case, because it's got to be pretty good. Generally speaking, 41-year-olds don't go around giving wedgies, so I imagine there must be more to the story than meets the eye.
I think the punishment is a bit overboard—the teacher should only be arrested if it was an atomic wedgie, because those have been known to kill a man. |

The teacher should be fired.
But I think being arrested is a little overboard. |

Good point, about there being more to the story. How stupid is that though, being a teacher and thinking you can touch a kid and getting away with it. It's starting to become a trend in this country... |

I don't know; I think it was meant to be a harmless joke. D;
I had a teacher like that int he 7th grade, and he didn't get arrested. But maybe that's because my classmates enjoyed his pranks. D; |
