PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) — A former gym teacher pleaded guilty to taking $1-a-day bribes from middle school students who didn’t want to change their clothes for class.
Under his plea deal, Terence Braxton, 28, was sentenced Wednesday to three years probation for felony bribery, ordered to pay back the students at Ernest Ward Middle School, and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service.
His Florida teaching certificate was permanently revoked, though Circuit Judge Michael Allen’s ruling means Braxton could teach in another state.
“I’m ready to get on with my probation and get back to teaching,” said Braxton, of Atmore, Alabama. “It was a mistake, my first job. I regret doing it.”
Wow, how sad is it that the kids are too bloody lazy to want to participate in P.E. That was the best class there was! And Am I the only one
bothered by his statement about getting back to teaching? I guess he’s moved on to teaching in Alabama, now.
