Today I find myself in a tough spot. Two Sex Scandal Teachers to grade. Both from the great SST state of Texas. One, not much in terms of appearance, but offering a motherlode of flair and nuance to her personal journey. The other, Cassie Wyn Dowden.
She had me at her mugshot. Those sultry, defiant, I-do-what-I-want eyes. She charmed me with the spot-on Geena Davis “A League of Their Own” costume. Then won my heart with the engagement photo by the lake. But really, what else does she give me to work with? “improper relationship.” Arrested. Held on bond while the school tries to act like they had no idea a teacher in Texas would ever do such a thing. That barely forms the outline of a decent fact pattern. In fact, I’d say it’s the baseline for any GtNSST blog to get off the ground. And if she was just some Arkansas 5, I’m skipping right over her and moving on to the next Lone Star lunatic.
But I’ve got a Game 7 tonight. I can’t get all caught up in issues like whether or not she sexted the kid or boned him in the classroom or handied him in back seat of her SUV outside the Piggly Wiggly or whatever. I’ve got to stay focused on who I’m watching the game with at what bar and whether I’m wearing the full Cam Neely jersey or just the Gerry Cheevers mask t-shirt. I’ve got pucks to put on net. And so Cassie Wyn Dowden’s going to have to get by on her natural abilities tonight. Sometimes in the SST game, that’s enough. And on a night like tonight, it’ll have to be.
The Grades:
Looks: Never mind Geena Davis. That mugshot is straight up Sofie Fatale, the one The Bride chops up and rolls down the hill in “Kill Bill.”
Grade: A-
Moral Compass/Bad Judgment: Gawd. “Improper relationship” just sounds so cold and clinical. If I didn’t know better I’d say law enforcement is trying to keep the public from knowing exactly what went on in some of these incidents. If they’re not going to pander to the worst instincts of the people they serve, what are we paying them for? Sorry, Cassie. But someone’s grade has to suffer for that.
Grade: D
Intangibles: Bruins. Game 7. This day of all days, we need a teacher named Cassie Wyn.
Grade: A+
Overall: C+.
