Multiple instances of sexual abuse and inappropriate behavior have been documented by female teachers in the Big Apple in recent years, according to a report by the New York Post.
In one instance, a paraprofessional at PS 160 Walter Francis Bishop in the Jamaica section of Queens, Makita Brooks-Stanton, broadcast her breast exam in a doctor’s office to her pre-K students via Google Meet.

One concerned mother told the Post: “She even had the doctor say hello to the class on Google Meet.” The blinking lasted about two minutes. It was a concerned mother who was in class and had to stop the broadcast.
She added: ‘I felt really bad when I registered the complaint. I think this was just bad judgment on her part.”
That parent also said Brooks will remain employed by PS 160.

Another teacher, Danielle Medellin, then 24, was accused of exchanging 5,500 “sexual tension”-filled texts with an 11th grade student in her math class at the Institute for Collaborative Education in Manhattan. She resigned before she could be fired, the Post reported.
According to Medellin’s LinkedIn page, she now works as a data analyst at the New York Times – a role she has held since August 2020.
Since the Post’s article was published on October 8, Medellin has deleted its LinkedIn page.
On that page, Medellin said she was “inspired by her students” during her time as a teacher, but left her role at the Institute of Collaborative Education in September 2019.
Medellin is a graduate of New York University.

In another case of an unhinged teacher, 31-year-old teacher Michelle Zak had “an inappropriate relationship” with not one but two of her students at Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts, and Sciences.
Zak is accused of inviting students to sleepovers and smoking marijuana with them. After an investigation, Zak was transferred to an office job within the Ministry of Education.
At the time of writing, Zak works as a private tutor. During her time working in Queens, Zak was a special education teacher and also taught public speaking gostwriter. One of her skills on the page is listed as ‘Student Engagement’.
She is a graduate of Binghamton University and Touro University. Zak calls himself an ‘Innovative Learning Specialist who is reshaping the future of education and training’.
In a 2014 blog post, Zak wrote about her teaching philosophy, saying, “How are you going to connect with your students throughout the year if you don’t know their situation or what they’re all about?”
She wrote that she is the daughter of Russian immigrants.

Other crazy behavior from educators in New York City includes Natalie Black, a 27-year-old teacher at the Hillside Arts and Letters Academy in Queens, who reportedly sent multiple suggestive photos to students.
The Post reports that those photos showed Black in lingerie or completely naked — with her vagina exposed. The sexting began in late 2021. The victim was a 17-year-old college student.
Black was interviewed by the NYPD but was never charged.
The intervention of New York’s Finest didn’t stop Black — in March 2022, she reportedly showed a photo of her genitals to a college student. On another occasion, Black was at a college student’s house when she took off her pants and reportedly said, “Eat my a**.”
The sexting didn’t stop either, Black also sent a video of her “deep-throating” a liquor bottle and another video of her dancing half-naked, the Post reports.
The Post says Black’s behavior was never made public by the Hillside Arts and Letters Academy, meaning parents were kept in the dark about her behavior.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Education said Black has been “removed” from her teaching position. The Post said Black has not cooperated with investigations into her conduct.
On her LinkedIn page, she is still listed as working as a special education teacher within the Ministry of Education. She is a graduate of SUNY and Brooklyn College.
Black writes on her page, “In greater attempts, it is even glorious to fail.”
Juliana Garofalo, also a teacher at the Institute for Collaborative Education, confessed to colleagues that she had a sexual relationship with a student in 2018. She was 33 at the time.
She later quit her job and took a role at Pinnacle School in Greenwich, Connecticut. When they learned of her previous activities in New York, she was fired for that role.
In return, Garofalo sued the Ministry of Education. Her lawsuit was dismissed by the New York Supreme Court in December 2021. A judge said Garofalo’s actions were “completely disqualifying” from a teaching position.
The Center for Sex Offender Management, which is under the control of the Department of Justice, says women are responsible for about 10 percent of sex crimes in the general population.
In the case of teacher-related sex crimes, 30 percent of the perpetrators are women.
In May 2022, Fox news seo texte schreiben lassen reported that 135 teachers had been charged with sex crimes this year alone. Of these, 105 are men and 30 are women.
The director of outreach for parents who defend education, Erika Sanzi, told the network, “Sexual abuse by educators is a big problem that is largely ignored because it’s so uncomfortable to talk about.”
She added: “While a very small proportion of educators and school staff prey on the children in their care, one bad actor can harm many students.”
