Well, we all knew the recession is bad and sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to put food on the table. That is what Megan Laboy, a 33 year old teacher from New Jersey, was doing at the expense of her students. Supposedly Laboy was offering her students "extra credit" at Colts Neck High School for a little cold hard cash. After making a total of $1,400, the social studies teacher was arrested and is no longer employed with the school system.

I don't see a problem with selling grades for money. Isn't that what a bunch of online colleges do anyway? On top of that, if Laboy were to go out and get a second job to earn some extra money, wouldn't that be teaching her students the wrong lesson? I mean, you shouldn't have to work your ass off to get ahead in this world. If you don't believe that simply look at George W. Bush.
