An unbelieveable story

Substitute Teacher Charged With Sniffing Cocaine In Class

POSTED: 10:23 pm EST December 8, 2005
UPDATED: 10:24 pm EST December 8, 2005

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A substitute teacher was arrested Thursday after students reported watching him use what appeared to be cocaine during a seventh-grade science class, authorities said.

Terry John Kappila, 45, of Jacksonville, was charged with felony cocaine possession. He was being held at Duval County jail.

Twenty-two students allegedly saw Kappila sniffing a white powder at a computer desk during class, police told The Florida Times-Union for its Friday editions. Two of the students left the classroom to report the alleged drug use, Lake Shore Middle School Principal Iranetta Wright said.

"They said, 'Miss Wright, he is doing something wrong in there,"' Wright told the newspaper. "The students were very alarmed."

Kappila initially told authorities he had been mixing headache powders with coffee, but started inhaling the powders when he couldn't find the cup, according to a police report.

He told police it was cocaine after authorities found a bag of powder at his feet while he was being questioned, the report stated. The powder in the bag tested positive for cocaine, police said.

Kappila only taught at the school for a few days this year, Wright said.

He has been suspended and will not be sent to another Duval County school, according to a spokeswoman for Kelly Educational Staffing, the company that provides substitute teachers for the county's public schools.

He should have asked the students if he could use the bathroom.

What's unbelievable is that he's merely suspended.

Sheesh! It's not his fault! He has a substance abuse disorder.

Hey, he did not wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Now that would have gotten him fired.

Hey! It would take more than a couple of lines to get me in to an elementary classroom. My wife teaches grade 6. I don't know how she does it.

It was all just a mis-understanding about a science experiment!

Enough said.

I remember my junior high days all too well. I think he was justified to do something to get through the day.

I would say he should have stuck to antidepresants. That way he wouldn't have to worry about the little creeps stealing his stash.
