(New York City) The New York Post has the exclusive story of Rhianna Ellis, a 25-year-old high school teacher who had a child fathered by one of her students.

The relationship apparently began when the boy was in the 10th grade. Interestingly, Ellis only gave the boy a barely passing grade of 65 in Social Studies even though he had her personal attention at a Queens motel for three to four times a week over ten months. Maybe if he got her pregnant in fewer months, his grade would have been higher. It's been recommended that the New York City Department of Education fire Ellis from her $40,225 per year teaching position.

According to this report in the Daily News, Ellis had the sexual relationship with Cesar Pozo, starting when he was 17. Pozo even introduced Ellis to his parents but neglected to mention that she was his teacher. Ellis has been on unpaid medical leave from the school and it's unclear what action will be taken by Education Department officials.
It should be noted that Rhianna Ellis' sexual relationship with a student is one of two announced this week at the High School for Health Professions and Human Services in Mahattan. The other sex scandal was that of guidance counselor Samantha Solomon.
