A high-flying teacher at a Manhattan high school has refused to explain what she was doing in a locked staff bathroom stall with a 17-year-old pupil, or why she later handed him a wad of cash in a stairwell.
Shoshana Leffler, 37, remains licensed to teach after resigning from the High School for Health Careers and Sciences last year rather than face questions over the seven-minute tryst that was partially caught on surveillance video.
But investigators have concluded the Princeton University graduate 'engaged in an inappropriate relationship' with the boy who should have been in class at the time.
'What occurred in the bathroom can only be speculated about since Leffler resigned from the DOE without providing an explanation,' said Anastasia Coleman, the special commissioner of investigation for city schools.
Leffler and her twin brother Abba were child prodigies at the prestigious Bronx High School of Science.
'These are the students who, God willing, will find cures for diseases and will be our political leaders,' then-Bronx Science Principal Valerie Reidy told The Post in 2005.
Shoshana went on to publish academic papers, earning a PhD from New York University with a dissertation on brain cell development.
In 2019 she began work for the city's Department of Education, later taking a job as a chemistry teacher at the high school in Fort George.

Seven minutes?
Did they even get past first base?
Actually, I don’t want to know.
Too many people in Manhattan watching too many Woody Allen pictures ...
She must have blinded him with science!
Maybe they were only "spooning."
Is "spooning" now an actionable offence?
Regards,
No wonder she had to hand out a wad of cash.
Where was "Dog, the Bounty Hunter & Hall Monitor?
“37?”
The picture is from when she was a graduate student. A Ph.D. from MIT and she’s teaching at a high school? There’s more to this story.
Student to teacher: You must be kidding. For that I’ll need an A in the course PLUS a wad of cash.
That’s not her.
Throw the book at it.

Looks like a Jewish Jane Eyre.
The student is 17 years old. She could have waited a few more months and the magic juice could have flown without interruption.
Now her career is finished and won’t have Rochester around.
The High School for Health Careers and Sciences is not a prestigious Manhattan high School.
It does seem that women now have the upper hand in society. They are getting more education than men by and large and are doing much better than men in the workforce as well. They are simply dominating the men in all corners. Academia, entertainment, business, you name it. Women are doing so well that many men are trying to become them (though the transgender movement).
Women still kick butt in divorce court and child custody cases as well. Isn't it time we stopped thinking of women as victims of a male patriarchy? A patriarchy that simply no longer exists, by the way, in any shape or form.
Perhaps we need to start having "men's rights" movements or at least find a way to protect our fragile boys and men from predatory women in schools and the workplace?
That pic is of the special commissioner for investigation, not the perp. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13074203/nyc-teacher-shoshana-leffler-student-relationship-bathroom.html
Maybe she discovered 17 year old boys can pass the cure for cancer, but the procedure has to be performed in a school restroom and takes 7 minutes?
When they questiond the boy about why he went into the restroom with her, his response was she had the whitest teeth he ever came across.
