I have NO IDEA if this is the same Whitney Buck who wrote the blog stayathomemommyblogger

And check this out: There is a social studies teacher at Morehead High School named Tommy Buck. And the Whitney Buck that wrote the blog above, is married to a guy named Tommy. Some coincidence, right? OK, I might be able to put 2 and 2 together. Is it possible that Tommy and Whitney worked together at the high school, and she was banging a student, right under his nose? I can't comprehend that, I feel so sorry for Tommy and those 2 kids, I do not know what to say. Speechless!

The student was one week shy of his eighteenth birthday. Marvelli did not return to class on Tuesday after the holiday and is on paid administrative leave.

The district attorney said: ""The victim in this case was, at the time of the alleged incident, only one week away from reaching majority under the law. Had he reached his 18th birthday, this case could not have been brought. I have chosen to approve this charge because teachers must be held to a high standard and, stating the obvious, should not enlist their students to engage in sexual relations."

Update Aug 17 2011: Marvelli was formally arraigned on one charge of corruption of a minor. She pleaded not guilty. Allentown police say she had sex with the student around 3:20 a.m. May 28, at the Econo Lodge on Downyflake Lane. The senior prom was held later that day.

Angela Sue New, 38, English teacher, Union Grove High School, Gladewater TX

Angela Sue New was arrested for an alleged improper relationship with an 18 year student.

Obviously Angela New is innocent until proven guilty. Please read the police complaint. I guess there is enough evidence for an investigation, but it sure seems to raise a lot a questions/doubts: She said nothing sexual happened, he said they had sexual intercourse. There was a witness who went into the house, walked into the bedroom, and saw the student having sex with a nude female. The witness "did not know the female but was later able to determine that the female was Angela New."

Mrs. New taught English at Union Grove High since 2007 and is married, according to Union Grove ISD Superintendent Brian Gray.

I feel really bad for the daughter, that really sucks when your mom steals your boyfriend.

Update June 08 2011: Ok now Michelle is linked to a 3rd young man, 16 years old but not a student, whom she allegedly furnished alcohol to. Child pornography charges have been filed, allegedly (I love that word) because McCutchan allowed a 15-year-old girl to watch her have sex with one of the teenage boys, and then watched the girl have sex with the same boy. Allegedly there are pictures of this!

This teacher is in really serious trouble it seems. The police were quoted as saying "Because of the seriousness of these new allegations, the state plans to pursue incarceration in the penitentiary... There is not going to be any plea agreements of probation in this case."

I'm sure there will be more pics as this case unfolds, and she has to show up for court.
