Teacher Steals and eBays Student's Jacket
Elizabeth Logan, a 41 year-old first grade teacher in Hillsboro, OR, is facing felony charges for allegedly putting a student's winter jacket up for sale on eBay. The poor kid came home one cold day in January to tell mom that she lost her nice Columbia Tectonite Hooded Ski Jacket. Rather than buy a new one, mom checked eBay for a cheap replacement. To her surprise, she found an auction for a jacket matching the description of her daughter's and -- wouldn't you know -- the auction was originating in Hillsboro that very day. Mom contacted the authorities, and Logan was arrested. No word on the whereabouts of the jacket now, but the remains of the auction can be seen above in the image.

I'm sorry to read about this teacher. I was once a high school English teacher. Most of us are honest, law-abiding, hard-working citizens. We also aim to instill these traits in our students.
Today I publish a website. Thank you to all of you who have visited through www.switched.com
I run the #1 site for Book Reviews and Author Interviews--putting my English skills to work and teaching my own children something about entrepreneurship.
I'm still a teacher.

This "teacher" should also be charged with child endangerment for sending the child home without a coat in the winter in OR!!!! This sickens me. I have a child in kindergarten and live in NC - if my child came home without a coat (even in our mild winters) I would be at the school raising h*ll, not on ebay looking for a new coat. But I'm glad the mother found her that way.

People who steal always justify it. I'd love to hear how this woman justifies stealing from a child and then allowing her to walk home in the snow in her shirtsleeves.

My 2nd grader came home without his winter jacket as well. We kept checking Lost & Found and after a month it still hasn't turned up. It's sad to think people enjoy doing their "shopping" at the Lost & Found. Maybe I should look for it on EBay.

Gee, that sure is one teacher that is not too bright at all.

What is wrong with this teacher, what lesson did she intend on teaching these students? A teacher is suppose to be patient, empathetic, and protector of these young people. Hope not only do the parents press criminal charges against this teacher, but sue her in a civil suite for endangering the welfare of a minor, especially having the child go home in the cold. I don't care what the student did do to infuriate the teacher, the teacher is a professional an adult and should know better than to be so callous and corrupt!

as a teacher all i can say is shame on her, she's brought shame on the profession. but just remember teachers are only human too. How is it possible to make sure all teachers have the highest moral standards before they qualify? it isn't and people have differant ideas of what is right or wrong, but i don't think anyone will think it right to steal from someone who is put in your care
