VENICE, Fla. -- A 34-year-old high school math teacher was arrested after two female students said he served them vodka drinks and smoked marijuana with them at his house, officials said.

Michael B. Ziemian also showed the girls how he was growing marijuana in his garage, a Sarasota County sheriff's report said.

 

He was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, delivery of a controlled substance to a person under 18 years old and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

 

The school district put Ziemian and his wife, an elementary school teacher in the district, on administrative leave. His wife has not been charged.

 

The Venice High School students told investigators they went to Ziemian's home in March to make up some school work. He gave them vodka-and-tonic drinks and smoked marijuana with them from a glass pipe, the report said.

 

He also took the girls into the garage and showed them a cabinet that containing marijuana plants, telling them he got his seeds via the Internet from another country, the report said.

 

Ziemian admitted giving the girls vodka and marijuana, the report said.

 

He was released from jail Wednesday after posting $40,000 bail. It was unknown whether he has an attorney, and a phone message left at his home Thursday was not immediately returned.

 

I'd just like to say that I had this professor before he moved to Florida, and he was fuck-head then. That is all.

I guess he never invited you to his house to drink

What a bunch of pricks. You go to his house, drink his alcohol smoke his marijuana and then rat him out? That shit's punishable on the streets with a cap in the ass beeyotch.

 

You had him as a prof? What university did you go to man, this guy is only a high school math teacher in Florida. He had 40 000 to post bail he must be rich.

Sorry- I had him in high school math, not as a college prof. This was back before he moved to Florida- he was teaching in New Hampshire.

He just happened to give some high school girls vodka and pot, what, just in the spirit of building the teacher - student relationship?

 

Dude wanted to get laid. Too bad he got ratted out.

I instantly thought of Animal House when I read the thread title.

Sounds like typical behavior to me. Been there done that. Cept, I didn't rat anybody out. Party on.

And kids wonder why teachers don't want to be cool anymore. The cool ones get arrested for something because of their students. Either because the girls reported him for vodka or because the young men reported the hot female teacher for having sex with them.

 

What a stupid generation of kids.

A long time ago in the GYLO folder I wrote the story of a science teacher who was one of those "cool" teachers, but I hated him anyway. (For those scoring at home, I wrote "Get a woman faggot" on some paper that I was supposed to give to my parents, then give back to the teacher, only I forgot to erase my commentary when giving it back to the teacher.)

 

Well, a few years later I learned some chick sued him for sexual harassment and he had to quit/got fired. That's all...

Bunch of fucking narcs.

[Special K]

I would understand their actions if they refused the weed an drinks. This is just plain silly.

i used to buy beer and pot for these high school kids when i turned 21, and then when i stopped, because this was every fucking day, they tried to blackmail me into doing it by threatening to go to the cops. i laughed and told them they had zero proof, and that the cops would believe me before they'd believe them. i never heard from them again.
