Florida Teacher's In-School Dollar Store

You know, sometimes they should just let people be creative. Here's an example: Terence Braxton, 28, a gym teacher at Ernest Ward Middle School in Walnut Hill, Florida, had created the perfect win-win situation. The kids paid him a dollar a day in return for not having to change their clothes for gym class. As a result, he was sentenced to 3 years probation for felony bribery, ordered to pay back the students, and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service.

Felony bribery?! In my school he would have been declared a saint! I don't know what those kids have to wear for gym class, but can assure you it's nothing like what we had to wear in the '70s. The uniforms the girls had to wear were just abominable. They were 1-piece polyester jobs that could make anyone look ugly. I had gym class at the same time as my girlfriend, and every so often we'd open to door to, well, check out the gym suits. YIKES! Luckily we couldn't do that very often. The Athletics Department at Scott's Spot worked very hard to find a picture, but couldn't find anything that looked like them. I think everybody wants to forget about that era of gym suits. This is the closest thing they could find:

Perhaps Mr. Braxton should become a Junior Achievement advisor.
