PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A former Escambia County middle school gym teacher who allegedly let children pay a $1 a day bribe to skip gym class turned himself in Thursday.
Detectives had been looking for Terence Braxton after he apparently left the area.
The sheriff's office said he turned himself in earlier Thursday at a Pensacola jail on bribery charges and was released on his own recognizance.
Escambia County School District spokesman Ronnie Arnold says the principal of Ward Middle School learned of the scheme from a parent and began an investigation in December. The principal then contacted authorities and placed Braxton on administrative leave.
Braxton then resigned.
After that, Braxton taught some classes as a substitute teacher at the Atmore School District in Alabama. That district removed Braxton from its substitute list after Florida officials notified administrators of Braxton's history.
The official charges accuse Ward of taking about $230 from six students pursuing charges, but Braxton's actual take from the 250 sixth-to-eighth-grade boys and girls is likely much greater.

it would be important if schools actually took the time to create interesting PE programs instead of telling kids to go shoot hoops in the gym for 40 minutes.
but srsly... kids must be really in' lazy if they're paying to skip PE. it's soooo easy! i'd rather save up my money and bribe my calculus teacher. |

I don't know what PE you took but I never had PE where we just shoot hoops for 40 minutes cause that would be AWESOME. I've had PE with a schedule of what we play and when, but also stupid like physical tests that not everyone could handle and teachers do laugh at and make fun of kids like that. And why should gym be something you MUST pass to graduate high school? |

$1? way to become a billionaire
PE i assume means physical education, and we have it here too - i was never the biggest athlete but it was 300x better than a regular class, why pay to skip it? unless it's gymnastics, those 780º rolling jumps are |
