Partially Nude Pic... yikes.

David Clark
I had the unfortunate experience of a female high school student accidentally sending me a partially nude picture via text.  It was homecoming week and we were having a Friday morning 7:00am rehearsal for the football game that evening.  One of my students was a cheerleader and was very concerned that I wasn't paying attention to the time.  The cheerleaders were supposed to be let out at 7:45am so that they could go to the elementary school and greet the little kids in their cheer outfits as they came to school.  In an attempt to make her point she sent me a picture of the homecoming schedule that her cheer coach had given her.  In her haste to send the text she also accidentally sent me the picture that she had taken of herself in the gym earlier that morning.  

Having a 16 year old students half naked picture on my phone was a huge problem.  I immediately showed the picture to my female guard instructor and then took my phone and the message to my administration and explained what had happened.  I later showed the photo to my wife since we share phone accounts and pictures can pop up on our cloud.  This was a very awkward situation, fortunately the student was very honest and confessed to her mistakes.  Had she made other claims it could have cost me my job, wife, etc... I still allow students to text me when they are late or have emergencies however these are the types of things that can happen and it is very important that you act immediately when and if they do.
