Teacher at prestigious Manhattan High School, 37, had 'inappropriate relationship' with male student, 17, who she led into a locked bathroom then handed a wad of cash to

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.

37. That’s when they really need it.

Pic please. We must establish guilt.

Stick with the disease cures and she can be forgiven. The political stuff should be stuffed.

Conclusion: If you are raising an unusually talented or bright child, make sure that child has enough chances to be with her peers and act like a crazy, giddy, Boy-Crazy teenager when that is her actual age.

Joie de vivre’ postponed becomes The Joy of Living out of character or appropriate timing.

LOL...she's a "prodigy who's going to find a cure for diseases." I hope she finds a cure for what now ails her.
...they "sought out a private room where security cameras could not record them" -- a staff bathroom with a lockable door. Their seven-minute lavatory rendezvous ended when another faculty member arrived to use the facilities and found the bathroom locked from the inside. Once the interrupting staffer departed, Leffler and the teen were filmed leaving separately.

Nothing quite says "romance" like boinking in a stinky bathroom.

She is a Princeton graduate, that pretty much explains it. All the ivy league are perverts these days.

Judging from the pic, I’d say this one was about desperation and lack of self-confidence and / or inner strength, not romance. Sad, really.

Now if he marries her, he can become Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States just like Next Gingrich.
