VENICE, Fla. - A 34-year-old high school math teacher was arrested after two female students said he served them vodka drinks and smoked marijuana with them at his house, officials said.
Michael B. Ziemian also showed the girls how he was growing marijuana in his garage, a Sarasota County sheriff's report said.
He was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, delivery of a controlled substance to a person under 18 years old and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The school district put Ziemian and his wife, an elementary school teacher in the district, on administrative leave. His wife has not been charged.
The Venice High School students told investigators they went to Ziemian's home in March to make up some school work. He gave them vodka-and-tonic drinks and smoked marijuana with them from a glass pipe, the report said.
He also took the girls into the garage and showed them a cabinet that containing marijuana plants, telling them he got his seeds via the Internet from another country, the report said.
Ziemian admitted giving the girls vodka and marijuana, the report said.
He was released from jail Wednesday after posting $40,000 bail. It was unknown whether he has an attorney, and a phone message left at his home Thursday was not immediately returned.
What a dumb a**
Well, its a good thing no one decides to look at the teachers at Cross Roads school in Santa Monic, California, I tell you what. ;->

"So, would anyone like to smoke some pot?"
At least he kept his pants on.
"Hey Paula, I want to marry you..."
Since when do female students go to a male teacher's home " to make up some school work " ???

Well, his wife, also a teacher, was there. I'm sure it was all above board and they will both be cleared of all charges. /sarcasm
Lovely. Just lovely. Our tax dollars at work. :(
No kidding. It's not like high school girls are known for their ability to keep secrets.
This isn't new or unusual. A high school teacher of mine did/does that, and he's still teaching.
Florida again.
The sad thing is even if you elimated all homosexuals, sluts, and co-habitators from the teacher ranks this fellow and his wife would still be teaching.
I guess random, mandatory drug testing for all government employees is the best answer.
This only works if the teacher is female.
"My name is Mr. Ziemian, but you can call me Captain Toke."
I'm pretty sure they have the students cultivating poppy fields on campus ;D
Who knows what his intention was, after offering them those things perhaps he did want something else.
"I won't go schizo, will I?"
This isn't new or unusual. A high school teacher of mine did/does that, and he's still teaching.

It is hereby Ordered that Snowy is henceforth taken into custody and protected as a Federal Witness, thereafter to testify against "a high school teacher of mine."
Furthermore... Snowy and I shall now kick off our shoes, sit back and relax, and share a joint before any further proceedings !!! ;-))
