She reminds me of a teacher at my old elementary school. She was having an affair with the principal and her ex-husband shot and killed him in a Denny’s parking lot.

Remember, she’s a teacher’s aide, not a full fledged teacher. That must count for something!...........

NORTH WALES, Pa. -- A teacher's aide is under arrest, accused of inappropriate contact with a 16-year-old student at a Montgomery County High School, prosecutors said.

Investigators said there was inappropriate touching during school hours at North Penn High School, and the relationship was "too close" for comfort.Michele E. Zulkowsky, 28, of North Wales, also faces child endangerment charges over the incidents prosecutors called a breach of trust, NBC 10's Deanna Durante reported."As an adult, she is placed in a position of trust. She is the person who is held to a higher standard," said Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.

 

Investigators said the 16-year-old was in an English as a Second Language, or ESL, class because he needed a little help in school due to a language barrier.Prosecutors said the charges stem from incidents that occurred from January to April 2008 between Zulkowsky and the 10th-grader, who was in her charge."They were being very sneaky, secretive about it, and even in an environment where people were present they were able to communicate with each other and engage in some of these acts, which were against the law," Ferman said.Those acts, according to court papers, happened inside a classroom. Court documents said Zulkowsky held hands with the teen and gave him pictures.But investigators said the touching escalated from just holding hands to fondling. Court papers said the two would rub each other's hands, legs and thighs.

Prosecutors said that when the student was interviewed he told them Zulkowsky gave him poems, including one on Valentine's Day about secret love.According to the court documents, much of the contact was on school property and other students were in the class when it was happening."It's really hard to imagine that no one could have seen what was happening, but it just shows the nature of their relationship," Ferman said.The 28-year-old wasn't interested in speaking to NBC 10 on Thursday, but police said she spoke to them.In fact, they said she was the one who notified authorities about the relationship."There's clearly a sense that I have that she saw that this was wrong, she saw that it had gone too far, and she wanted to stop it and she needed help stopping it," Ferman said.

According to court document, the teen told police Zulkowsky wanted to plan a summer meeting for the two to have sex."The fact he is 16 and the fact that he is consenting to the acts and his is as emotionally attached to her as she is to him, those are irrelevant facts," Ferman said.A statement from the North Penn School District said police alerted them to the issue, and Zulkowsky would have been suspended with termination to follow had she not resigned first. She had been employed by the district since January 2007.Zulkowsky was arraigned before a district magistrate and released on unsecured bail of $25,000 with a condition of her release being no contact with the alleged victim.A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 8.

I’m going to take into account that it has been concludively proven that extended periods of residence in the UP can distort one’s vision, judgement and exacerbate the “beer goggle” effect.

Prosecutors also stated that when the student was interviewed, he told them that Zulkowky gave him poems, including a Valentines Day poem about secret love.

The 11th grader is more guilty this she is, he fell for poetry.

I’d have to see the prosecutor, Risa Vetri Ferman to predict the verdict. If she’s hot, the teacher is toast. OTOH, if the hot headed italian prosecutor is a two bagger, the teacher might walk.

Here in Wisconsin, as long as she is over a duce, she could be the county Dairy Queen. Our legal system is a bit more real than the rest of the country. We give credits for stuff like doing chores before sunrise, ability to drink a case of beer before a parent/teacher conference, jiggly lady lumps when riding bitch on the back of the Harley, and taking the wet spot without whining.

Here's another article

28 year old Michele Zulkowsky, a teachers aide at North Penn High School in Lansdale, Pennsylvania has been arrested for inappropriate contact with a 16 year old male student.

It is alleged that the contact between the two was consensual. Zulkowsky had the unfortunate luck of picking a complete moron to fool around with, and the kid went to the cops. Why? She's decent looking, and for some reason, she likes you. Dummy.

Anywho, Zulkowsky is accused of kissing and hand-holding with the student, as well as rubbing the boy and fondling him, but it is not clear whether any sexual or genital contact were made.

The boy says that Zulkowsky also wanted to plan a meet for them to have sex over the summer. So good idea kid, get her locked up so you remain a virgin for the rest of your life.

Zulkowsky was released on $25,000 bond. She is due in court again on May 8th.

That's freaking hilarious! I had to wipe tears from my eyes before writing back. I admit to growing up in an area where the women didn't bother getting all prettied up to go out and haul a load of firewood into the house. Here in NC, I can't get over how fixed up they get just to go to the grocery store. Big hair, makeup and clothes. I do appreciate it, but can still spot a decent one that hasn't gone through all the trouble even at the ripe age of 51.

Lived in Tega Cay, SC for a while. Moved to Wisconsin......

I sure miss the maintenance program the females adhere to in the south. No slippers, sweatpants, sweatshirts, bad hair, and absolutely no woman ventures from the house without makeup!

Now Wisconsin..........

Or the ability to cuss you out on a Friday night at the bar in front of everyone, only to end up being hit on by every guy in the place after just because they know she's available. I do miss living up there at times!

I had the pleasure of living in Sheboygan back in 79. The best time of my life! Of course, I moved there from Iron River Michigan, north of the border. Any place had to have more women that that.

Gentlemen of the Jury.

Please excuse our associate, Dixie Yooper, in his misguided defense of the indefensible. One must take into account the social and cultural forces that have shaped (and/or warped) his judgement in these matters.

To subtantiate his innocence in this matter, I submit the following cultural documentary directly from the land of his birth and subsequent upbringing:
