[ARCHIVED THREAD] - NY teacher forces class to send cards to her boyfriend in jail

A Queens teacher forced her fifth-graders to make holiday cards for a repulsive pen pal — a jailed boyfriend who has a taste for child porn and a conviction for gun possession.

Melissa Dean instructed the youngsters at Public School 143 in Corona to draw cards for her beau in December because she “thought it was a nice thing to do,” investigators said.

But a guard at Groveland Correctional Facility in upstate Livingston County disagreed, intercepting the 27 letters for John Coccarelli and alerting Dean’s principal.

“It was bad judgment,” said the city’s special commissioner of investigation, Richard Condon. “She certainly did not have permission.”

Coccarelli, 33, has a disturbing criminal record. In 2008, he was busted in Nassau County for weapons possession and child porn after police found a disk and laptop with nearly 50 sexually explicit images of underage kids.

Ummm. The teacher's boyfriend is already in jail. I hope the teacher joins him in hell.

The same place as the one for those that talk in the theater?

In the third grade, my teacher forced the class to write letters to G.H. Bush to stop Desert Storm.

My teacher described to the class the results of him smashing a pugil stick into the face of another recruit.

So, it all balances out in a cosmic sense.

The Teacher's Union will demand she be promoted.
