Second, look up crestview middle school. This is where she taught. It is 5th through 8th grade.
Third, in at least one article I found it stated that she was a 5th and 6th grade reading teacher.

What conclusions does this information lead to? The students she supplied alcohol to and had sex with, while possibly former students, were NOT IN HER CLASS AT THE TIME. And her connections to them to be able to do all this were through her teenage daughter, which is still super creepy, just on a slightly different way.
Please actually READ what I say next time.

You are making a lot of assumptions and doing them very rudely, BTW. Just bc she taught 6th grade doesn't mean she would have access to older boys. Teachers can and do precept at recess, lunch, assemblies, etc. Children are also not always on level. Having an older child in her class is not impossible. Jumping to the assumption that she used her teenage daughter to fish for her victims is a large jump.

Many of the students are thought to have been friends of her teenage daughter who attended the alcohol fuelled parties.

A grand jury has indicted Tipton, Tennessee middle school teacher Cindy Clifton on a total of 53 charges, including 11 counts of rape by an authority figure, stemming from parties she allegedly threw at her Covington, Tennessee home where she supplied alcohol to her teenage daughter and her friends before having sex with some of the boys present

Actually, this is why I am making these assumptions.
And I apologize if you think I am rude. I personally thought SWTX seemed rather condescending, which I was not happy with due to the fact that I addressed the issues initially. But maybe I misinterpreted.

THIS. I had a 6th grader who was 15. "Impossible" is a strong word to use, SB, and what I was addressing. Hence the casual use of "ummm . . . "

In the state of Texas, and I believe in other states, minors may drink with their parents. However, they may NOT purchase alcohol for or allow other minors to drink.Any way you slice it, if this woman is indeed guilty of the charges she made serious judgements in error and took advantage of minors.

As to the rest - I leave it to a jury of my peers to decide where the rudeness and condescension are located.
