An Alberta Teachers’ Association disciplinary committee fined a former teacher $22,500 and recommended she lose her licence for having a sexual relationships and taking drugs with a 14-year-old student.
The association found the Grade 1 and music teacher guilty on five counts of misconduct during the 2011-12 school year at a Calgary public school – The teacher is guilty of using marijuana with a student, allowing students to use illegal drugs in her presence, having sexual contact with a student, being in regular text and phone contact with the student and engaging in a relationship with the student outside of school.
“Teachers who engage in deplorable activities with students cause significant harm to their victims and families,” and “(The teacher) has not been apologetic and there is no evidence of her expressing any remorse related to any of the charges,” the committee concluded.
Records showed the two exchanged about 300 text messages and 700 phone calls between December 2011 and July 2012.
‘Doobie cruises’ with teacher
The committee heard the boy felt isolated after moving to Calgary from the Edmonton area to live with his dad. The teacher, who did not instruct the student, offered to tutor the Grade 9 boy.
The relationship evolved into trips in the teacher’s vehicle to get fast food, and later, to buy liquor and cannabis. They would go on “doobie cruises” while smoking in her vehicle, a friend testified.
“There were moments that felt like we were living the plot of a movie, driving around smoking pot in our teacher’s car,” the friend testified.
The student said he and the teacher had sexual contact and intercourse in the back of her Astrovan, in her band room office while his friend stood lookout, and eventually, at his house.
The student has struggled with substance abuse since this time and said it affected his ability to have healthy relationships.
So, who is the ‘Teacher’?
