And if anybody argues that the teacher would eventually be proven innocent to anything this kid did under his name, that doesnt really matter. Generally, once a teacher has been accused of something (lets say, for example, this kid harrassed a minor while pretending to be the teacher...one of his students or not), if the kid being harrassed went public, that teacher is screwed. Even once it has been proven it wasnt him there is still an illusion that he did it and its still in the back of peoples minds. Careers can be (and have been) ruined over things smaller than this. Teachers are in a sensitive enough position these days, we dont need this little ass making it worse.
a friend of mine is a freshly minted rookie teacher and her after-work life has been quite scandulous and well documented photographically, I better tell her to clean up her facebook haha...
