Teacher Draws Fire For Writing Erotic Novel

Carol Ann Eastman, Ohio English Teacher, Draws Fire For Writing Erotic Novel 'Schooled' Under Pen Name.

The author's name may be listed as Deena Bright, but an Ohio teacher named Carol Ann Eastman is facing heat for penning the erotic novel Schooled.

Described on Amazon.com as "Chelsea Handler meets 50 Shades of Grey," Schooled tells the fictional tale of a teacher who gets revenge on her cheating husband by engaging in multiple extramarital affairs, some with former students. The novel has garnered largely positive reviews.

Eastman has been a teacher at Hoover High School in North Canton, Ohio, for 7 years and is popular with students, WKYC reports. She was given three weeks' administrative leave and lost five days' pay for using a school computer for "social networking of a personal nature," a separate incident that violated district policy, according to the Canton Repository.

Eastman returned to the classroom last week, but parents and students are still baffled by the raunchy nature of the novel -- and the storyline.

"It was just crazy," Hoover junior Justin Small told WKYC. "I don't know, I could never picture a teacher writing that."
