A Leverette Junior High School teacher was suspended without pay for 10 days after he gave a female student a picture of his crotch, district officials said.

Kenneth Crosley, 33, teaches social studies. He started with the district in 1997 as a substitute, eventually becoming a classroom teacher, according to Toledo Public Schools records.

His suspension began Feb. 16 and continues until the end of this week, according to records.

"It was for an inappropriate action that he did," said Clinton Faulkner, executive assistant to the superintendent for human resources. "He took a picture of his face and took a picture of his crotch area and said, ‘Show your parents this.’ He was clothed."

Chief of Staff Sheila Austin said the suspension is part of progressive discipline for Mr. Crosley. "Anything further will result in immediate termination," she said.

what specifically was offensive about these pictures? i don't know why a teacher would do that, but we are only hearing one side of the story. there could have been a valid reason.

7. What would be appropriate about an adult giving a jr. high

school girl a picture of his crotch?

If had a problem with the parents, he should have mailed it.
