Facebook Oct 19 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A report posted in the New York Post reveals that at least three school teachers who were employed at city public school have been fired in the last six months because of flirting on the social networking site known as ‘Facebook’, and one of those took the flirting into a sexual relationship.

Chadwin Reynolds, who is a former Fordham HS for the Arts teacher from The Bronx added about six of his female students and left comments such as “This is sexy” on their pics, and even attempted to date one of the students by sending her flowers, candy, and teddy bears. He also posted on his profile for his teen-aged students to read, “”I’m not a gynecologist, but I’ll take a look inside,” according to New York City school district’s special commissioner of investigation.

And Laurie Hirsch, who is a 30 year old former paraprofessional at the Long Island City Bryant High School was fired after posting pictures of herself kissing a former 18 year old student on the lips. She says that neither she nor the student were in school when the sexual affair took place. “I was suspended indefinitely” for using a cellphone too frequently during school time,” she said to The Post. “And it didn’t seem in any way, shape or form that I was getting my job back” when the relationship with the boy took off.
