School time for 4th-graders is usually packed with question-and-answer sessions, but a teacher in New York City has been fired for taking her questions a little too far.
Cassendre Fiering, a 45-year-old substitute instructor at Public School 189 in Bronx, New York, was canned by the Department of Education in December for actually seeking dating advice from her young students.
Investigators say the woman, who is also a part-time actress, asked her 9-year-old pupils to help her choose between two men she was dating.
She reportedly had the students engage in role-play conversations with her about how she should talk to the gents, both of whom are in their thirties.
There were only five students in the class, and they recommended Fiering to break up with the younger of the two boyfriends because he had not returned her phone calls.
DNAinfo New York obtained a report by investigators for the office of the Special Commissioner of Investigation for New York City Schools. They started the probe when students told school officials they counseled Fiering about her love life.
The report said Fiering acted out scenarios in which the kids were her and she was the boyfriends. She complained the younger suitor, a Rhode Island mechanic, didn’t return her phone messages.
The teacher is said to have called the students her “munchkins,” and they asked her to toilet paper the mechanic’s home.
According to DNAinfo, the report says Fiering hugged one student, tapped another on his shoulder and touched the thighs of two other students.
Fiering denied inappropriately touching any student, but she couldn’t remember if she had hugged one of them.
She admitted to speaking to the youngsters about her relationships, but indicated the talk was harmless and done in fun.

I don’t think there is any harm in doing this, if it is in fun and no real information is exchanged.
An adult should not be discussing their personal life with children.

Gee, when I was in 4th grade I thought boys still had cooties.
I get the feeling had it been a man talking about his escapades with teenage boys at the local fetish bar, everything would be fine.

If she had been asking about choosing between two women lovers she would have been promoted.
Actually, the 4th graders probably will make better choices than her. She is an actress after all.
And the ranks of perverted educators increase....
While role-playing is certainly a great way to engage students, I cannot imagine being sympathetic to a substitute — or to anyone dealing with children — who chose such a subject for role-playing. I am guessing this perv was starting out at grooming these youngsters for more advanced perversion. May she burn in hell.
WWLD?
I substituted for a couple of years. I spent all my time trying to think of fun ways for the kids to learn - to fill in the time for after the teacher’s lesson plan was done. It was a lot of free time since the lesson plans were so short.
