re: What was “the incident” at your high school?

I’m a long time high school teacher so I can recognize a good teacher.

In the late 80s Mr. S was a good science teacher. He put a lot into it, had sessions before and after school to help students. He was nice, respectful, and kind to everyone and he was a family man who was always 100% professional when interacting with students.

Then one day while in his mid- forties someone found a twenty year old catalog (maybe Sears, or JC Penney) that had Mr. S modeling underwear.

It was a long few years for Mr. S. He had gone grey but it was very obvious it was him.

He refused to comment on it or discuss it, but the students sure did.
