An Ohio substitute teacher has been banned from working at most Butler and Warren County schools after he allegedly asked his pupils for help getting rid of a very specific debt.
According to WCPO Cincinnati, substitute teacher Jay Deutsch told students at Fairfield Middle School that he was caught up in a "Nigerian phone scam" and needed them each to give him $100. Because everyone knows, if you're looking for big bucks, it's most likely in the saggy pants pocket of a seventh grader.
