Teachers who have sex at school

Sean at TAM brings us the story of two teachers in Pennsylvania who were caught having sex in a classroom. Now that the school district is considering firing the two, the teachers' union claims they don't have the authority to do so. This story brings up a small scandal from my own high school years. A couple of months before I graduated from high school in 1994, our principal and an English teacher were caught having sex in the nurse's office. Back then, the principal resigned because he was in a position of authority over the English teacher. The English teacher kept her job. It never made the news, so it begs the question how often this sort of thing occurs and just gets covered up. In my high school's case, when it was reported in the local paper that the principal had resigned, the town was told that he resigned in order to partake in counseling for alcoholism. He may have been getting treatment, but that wasn't what lead to the resignation.
