A teacher in Tampa, Florida was recently caught selling crack cocaine and heroin. Undercover deputies
started to investigate second grade teacher Valerie Sabarese after she delivered drugs to them on a Friday
afternoon. She had just left Summerfield Crossings Elementary School and headed to a local convenient store.
She sold .3 grams of heroin and .3 grams of crack cocaine to the undercover detectives for cash. They busted
her and took her into custody. A spokesman of Hillsborough County school systems said that Sabarese will be
receiving a letter relieving her of her job as a school teacher, and pending further school board action. She is
currently under arrest, and did not immediately have an attorney.

Something quite similar occurred with two Terry Parker teachers in March, 2005. 55 year old Terry Hannabas
was found dead in his shower after not showing up for work for two days. Police jimmied open a slide glass
door to get into Hannabas' locked house when they found 76 marijuana plants, along with growing equipment
that included lights, a ventilation fan, two scales, an odor-elimination device, rolling papers, a bong and several pipes; and three tanks of carbon dioxide and bottles of clear liquid used to grow the weed. They also found a few firearms and some ammunition. 

The second teacher was Driver's Ed teacher Lamar Minton, 46. He was busted after being suspected of having a fictitious driver's license and a fake license to rent a mailbox that he had marijuana seed packets sent to. Police found 40 marijuana drug plants, paraphernalia, and a baggy of the drug.  He was arrested shortly before the discovery of Hannabas' body. He had taught for 21 years.

This is a lesson to all you students. Don't judge your teacher too quickly, cause you never really know them
like you think you might. Some teachers may be a little more educated in some subjects other than history. They
might actually be more relatable to you than you think.

You have punctuation and grammar errors throughout. Fix those, and maybe even break up your paragraphs, and you'll be set.
