*shudder*

Over the weekend, I read a couple of articles in the local papers and the Vancouver Sun about a teacher at Terry Fox Secondary who's been accused of, to put it simply, being a perv. None of these publications named the teacher and since I'm an alumnus of the school, I was curious as to who it was and whether they ever taught me. Since it's been nearly 10 years since I've graduated from there, I figured I most likely wouldn't know the teacher due to staff turnover, etc.

Well, the teacher's face was plastered on the front page of the Province yesterday... Gordon Belec, an English 11 teacher, is facing a charge of sexual exploitation.

I'm getting the serious heebie jeebies here. Why? Because I actually had him as a teacher... a student teacher back in junior high. He was my Socials 10 teacher & I thought he was AWESOME. Perhaps a lil too awesome?

W/ this said... this charge could mean absolutely nothing. Perhaps a student misinterpretted his words or actions as inappropriate, but perhaps he really is a perv...
