PENSACOLA, Fla. - A middle school gym teacher let children sit out his class if they paid him $1 a day, collecting perhaps thousands of dollars, officials said Thursday.

Terence Braxton, 28, took the payoffs between September and December, resigning after the principal learned of the scheme from a parent, authorities said.

He is being sought on bribery charges.

The charges accuse Braxton of taking about $230 from six students, but sheriff’s spokesman Mike Ward said the teacher’s take was probably much greater.

people never cease to amaze ..............

[STANG RED]

How did that idiot think he was going to get away with that?

[mustang04]

so thats why all the kids are getting obese these days...THEIR PAYING OFF THE TEACHERS!!!:mad: hahaha

im so sick of this 'disease' called obesity, yes i believe some of it is hereditary, but the childhood plays a BIIIIG role on it too, if i was a gym teacher, i'd make sure they got their 20 minutes of strenuous activity a day..(which still isnt even enough)
