UM YES, you just may be judged on this! Just another reason to home school!
Well, I certainly can’t defend this woman’s behavior. Morals aside, her judgment is at the least, questionable. She’s far from the only person to ever get behind on their bills, and most people don’t go hooking to catch up.
Now, *IF* the bust went down as the reporters and Islam claim in the video clip, it sounds like there was entrapment. The undercover supposedly laid (no pun intended!) out the money, and then asked for sex during a massage. I’m skeptical it really went down (again, no pun intended!) that way, however.
“If I do go to jail, what am I supposed to do?”
Reflect on her conduct?
Sympathy and compassion are so passé.
Isn’t prostitution just another form of collective bargaining? Do we have yet another teacher whose rights are being violated?
Ping!
Guilty!...but admittedly, easier on the eyes than the most of the prostitutes we discuss here.
Islam said she was desperate for money and originally thought she was just going to work for a dating service. She pleaded guilty on Nov. 5 and was given a suspended 90-day sentence and a $640 fine.
Islam, who was in the fifth year of her teacher career, told Fox16.com that she hopes this attention doesn’t affect her ability to find another job.
The five year McClellan math teacher says she had fallen on tough times dealing with lawsuits and bankruptcy and had just lost her part-time job.
“When you look at your check and it’s only $600 and you know your rent is $700, and the light bill is coming up and your child needs day care paid. It was a point of desperation,” says Islam.
Police say Islam posed as an escort on a website, charging $200 for a date.
Here’s what teacher Solona Islam has to say about what happened after she gave an undercover detective a naked massage.
“And I was like oh no, because that wasn’t what I was sent here to do. And then he asked and I said okay because I needed the extra money. He offered the extra money and as I was taking my clothes off, that’s when the police came in,” Islam recalls.
Islam says that date at a West Little Rock hotel came just a week after she signed on to a web-based escort service.
Her job as an Algebra teacher at McClellan High School wasn’t making ends meet for her and her toddler son once she lost her second job in retail after missing work when her child had pneumonia.
Maybe it’s something in the water....

What? A teaching position doesn't pay enough these days?
And now she's been put on PAID administrative leave?!?! Given a nice paid vacation as a reward?????
She should have thought of that FIRST.
Idiot.
What was her specialty? Human sexuality?
Great. Now she's screwing the taxpayers as well as their children.
Did she use condoms? Did she tell her classes to do so?
I guess when her more outspoken students said, "My teacher sucks," they really meant it...
Cheers!
People can forgive an affair. Sometimes it’s just a fling that people unwisely sort of fall into.
That’s human.
Prostitution is a whole ‘nother issue. She deserves all that she fears is coming.
A master’s degree, working on a Ph.D. ISTR similar
cases in the NYC system. ... by the time a case is
adjudicated, the person on leave will indeed have time
to obtain, if not earn an advanced degree.

Too often, problem teachers are allowed to leave quietly. That can mean future abuse for another student and another school district.It’s a dynamic so common it has its own nicknames—“passing the trash” or the “mobile molester.”
