Teacher Jonathan Fuller removed from NYC’s elite Bamford School, model for TV’s “Gossip Girls,” over alleged student affair
Wait. So, the Upper East Side – and obviously upscale – Nightingale-Bamford School for girls was the model for a television show called “Gossip Girls”? And we’re supposed to be shocked by this type of allegation?
On the other hand, you would think that if you’re going to spring for $40k a year in tuition, you wouldn’t have to worry about some teacher getting hot for your student/daughter – allegedly. More via NYPOST.com.
Fuller’s dramatic removal — just two days into the school year — stunned parents and staff at the elite Upper East Side academy, which costs nearly $40,000 per year and is the model for The CW’s “Gossip Girls” television show.
The exclusive Upper East Side Nightingale-Bamford School for girls has been rocked by scandal after married teacher Jonathan Fuller was suspended amid allegations he had an affair with a student, The Post has learned.
The popular, 55-year-old science and psychology teacher was hauled out of class Friday after a complaint was made that he was allegedly involved with a former pupil who is now “18 or 19” years old, according to several sources connected to the school.
We should ask Nick Cassavetes the appropriate cultural response to this. (sarcasm based on this http://tinyurl.com/c7vr9md )
Firstly, it is very unfortunate that journalist “Dan” cannot write grammatically correct sentences. “Wait. So, the Upper East Side – and obviously upscale – Nightingale-Bamford School for girls was the model for a television show called “Gossip Girls”? And we’re supposed to be shocked by this type of allegation?”
Secondly, Dan appears to be saying that it is to be expected that rich people would have inappropriate relationships with teachers, therefore suggesting that poor people do not?
Based on the above, Dan appears to be stupid. Very, very stupid.
What’sa matter, sweet stuff? You graduate and not getting any, or what? What is it about the nature of “Gossip Girls” as a title that you can not get?
And what a decidedly weak attempt at one-upmanship.
If one expects “more” from a school because they pay well to be there, the default assumption would be that it’s to be expected of a purportedly lesser, or public, school.
Your thin-skin and class consciousness is showing. I’ll just chalk it up to a weak education. ; )
It’s “Gossip Girl” not “Gossip Girls.” And this happened on the show, too, only with an English teacher. Oh snap.
