A Leverette Junior High School teacher was suspended without pay for 10 days after he gave a female student a picture of his crotch, district officials said.

Kenneth Crosley, 33, teaches social studies. He started with the district in 1997 as a substitute, eventually becoming a classroom teacher, according to Toledo Public Schools records.

"Anything further will result in immediate termination," she said.

Whats the guy gotta do , actually rape a student..?

Sick POS. I hope the girl's father looks like the guy with the huge pipes from Orange County Choppers and "has a meeting" with this so-called teacher in the parking lot after school.

""He took a picture of his face and took a picture of his crotch area.."

At least it wasn't his face that drew the suspension.

Dummy. He would have gotten a raise if he'd given the pic to a male student.

...Mr. Crosley showed a junior high class an R-rated film in 2001...

When you don't know how to teach and your students know more about the subject than you do...show 'em a movie.

Guess Sec Paige was right calling teachers "Terrorists".

What the Sam Hill is going on? He should've been canned.

For all we know he showed his class the R rated historical equivalent of The Passion of the Christ. Actually I just looked it up and for all you know he showed his social studies class the R rated The Patriot starring Mel Gibson.

And a clothes picture of his crotch area, might have been sent home for the parents who were somehow irritating him. I have no idea from the information given who is right or wrong here. It does not the way it is presented sound like a comeon to the girl.

"He took a picture of his face and took a picture of his crotch area and said, ‘Show your parents this.’ He was clothed."

I suspect there is more to this story, and a specific reason why he took those pictures. Maybe the student, or her parents, called him a d!*$ head or something. I doubt he did this for no reason. The "show your parents this" part tends to indicate some words were exchanged.

Oh, well. That's okay, then. < /sarcasm>

I had the same thought. Maybe he should have mailed it.
