Psst, wanna buy some hot crayons?
And the Mrs wonders why I am a bit apprehensive about public schools:
- A Philadelphia high school science teacher was arrested this week after he allegedly sold cocaine and marijuana to an undercover Pennsylvania state trooper, authorities said.

District officials and police said there was no indication Baum was involved in selling drugs to students, but Vallas said: "We're going to work to determine whether there's anything else to this, whether there was anything going on in school."
Police said that on Jan. 26, Baum, a teacher in the district since September 1999, sold about one ounce of cocaine and one ounce of marijuana to an undercover trooper. On Feb. 10, he sold two ounces of cocaine to an undercover trooper, police said. Investigators said both sales took place in Philadelphia.
