Life on Florida’s West Coast

Sex for Grades, Just Like in the (Porn) Movies

If you ask me, Isaac Nathan Tillis thought he was living life in a porn movie. I mean, what logical person really thinks they can be a schoolteacher and try to trade grades for sexual favors? No, really – does anyone with two feet planted firmly on the ground actually believe that anymore?

The Bartow High School math teacher was arrested on solicitation of sex charges this week for trying to trade a blow job for a better grade. And, it turns out that in years past he has been accused of inappropriate behavior with students before in Polk County, Florida.

In fact, Tillis was actually suspended with pay from Bartow High in November 2004 after two female students accused him of misconduct. One girl said Tillis tried to kiss her and passed her a suggestive note. The other girl said Tillis kissed her on the cheek when he was tutoring her.

Creepy.

In the end, those charges were ruled unfounded and Tillis was allowed to teach in Polk County again. Keep in mind, he had only been teaching there since 2003, so after a mere year he felt confident enough to allegedly accost students.

Even after being caught with his pants down by police, he has been suspended with pay until Polk County school district can conduct an investigation after the winter break. One can only hope that when this guy finally sees the inside of a jail cell for the long term, he will be on the other end of the situation when his new cell mate (and by default, his new boyfriend) informs him he can earn extra protection in exchange for oral sex.
