The principle must have been getting a cut. Fire them both and revoke their teaching certificates. Yes, embarrass them both....this is just plain shameful behavior by the teacher, and the principle for wanting to protect her. She's been teaching long enough to be earning a comfortable living and shouldn't have to steal for any reason.

The catch phrase was "30 year" that's why the principle said to erase it.

I'm sure that 'it was for the kids.'

Delete the video? Yeah, right.

Barnyard ... I have to agree with you ... In addition, stealing is stealing .. doesn't matter how much money or what type of items were in the back packs ... just doesn't matter. I am glad the video was no deleted. After the so called investigation .. hopefully, she can answer to criminal charges.

What a sad state of affairs. NO ONE CAN BE TRUSTED.

Pitiful. How much money do these kids leave in their lockers? Must be some upscale school in California, idk.

You gotta be kidding. Here we have a teacher, who was respected and trusted by the students, stealing from them. Then, to top it off, the school principal tells the student to delete the video. Both should be doing jail time.
