Teacher accused of giving students 'A' grades in exchange for massages

ANTHONY, N.M. — A New Mexico teacher is accused of handing out "A" grades to female students who were willing to give him a back massage.

The actions of Daniel Tena, a social studies teacher at Gadsen High School, are under investigation after a 16-year-old student filed the complaint with school officials, according to KRQE. The student said Tena told female students they could either do classwork or give him a back massage. Two girls who opted to give Tena a massage received "A" grades, according to the complaint.


The 16-year-old student's father was furious when he found out about the incident.

School district officials told KRQE that Tena has been placed on administrative leave.
