2-Person Field Trip?
[TBO]
A Gibbs High School science teacher was arrested today on charges that he engaged in inappropriate behavior with a student, police said. The official charge against Darren Snieszko, 25, of St. Petersburg, is interference with custody, a felony. According to an arrest affidavit, Snieszko encouraged a 16-year-old girl attending Gibbs High to go on what he called a field trip to Lowry Park Zoo, but there were no other students or teachers involved with the trip, the affidavit states.
Snieszko paid for the girl’s admission with his Pinellas County teacher’s discount card, said St. Petersburg police spokesman Bill Proffitt. The spokesman characterized the outing as a date.

I’ve never heard of a 2 person field trip. What is in the water in Florida?

Big, BIG no-no.
In this day and age, EVERY teacher who has sense knows that you NEVER let yourself be alone with a student. If you have to talk with them in private you at least have the door to your classroom open. In many schools that’s even official policy. The thought of a “two person field trip” with just a teacher and a student is downright unconscionable.

HE DID NOT DO IT.
I personally go to Gibbs High School and know the whole story.
A student kissed him and he told him that was not aloud. She told a whole bunch of student including her friends that she kissed him. Then her mom ended up finding out and she got scared and told her mom that he kissed her and her mom went to the police. There was another girl but she is 18 years old and he should get in a little bit of trouble and not lose his job over LIES.
A teacher in Tampa got caught 3 times having sex with students and she just now got fired. AFTER THREE TIMES.
So ever one needs to shut up. He is an amazing teacher.
