3 New York City Teachers FIRED For Flirting On Facebook With Students

One allegedly wrote comments like 'This is sexy” under their photos and posted ill-advised lines like, 'I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take a look inside.” The other is accused of sending inappropriate messages, like telling one girl she was pretty and another that her 'boyfriend [doesn't] deserve a beautiful girl like you.” The Department of Education apparently doesn't yet have an official policy in effect for student-teacher Facebook communication.
