Shooting and teaching and kissing, no firing yet
Posted on October 5, 2006 1:43 PM
"It started with a little kiss, like this."
Short version – a teacher in Brooklyn will probably get fired (even if it is nearly impossible to fire a New York teacher) for encouraging a girl and a boy to kiss, which led to solving a shooting.
The long version – is pretty weird too. Here's how it started...
Lisa Schmude, 30, a social studies teacher at Intermediate School 259, allegedly set up a boy and girl and encouraged them to smooch in her classroom, according to a report by special schools investigator Richard Condon.It's always good to have a teacher to turn to when you're a kid in crisis, isn't it?
The 14-year-old boy later bragged to the girl about shooting another kid two years earlier - and the female student feared the victim was her own brother.
Acting on her hunch, the girl showed her brother a photo of the boy she kissed and her brother identified him as the shooter, authorities said.
When the girl asked Schmude how to handle the situation, the teacher allegedly said, "Whatever you do, leave me out of it."
