A female teacher has resigned after authorities discovered she was 'in love' with a student in the third scandal to hit the elite Brooklyn Technical HS in three years.
Marisa Cazanave, 33, is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with the teen after the boy's mother found dozens of text messages and emails professing their love for each other.
They were also planning a rendezvous to 'make one of those items on our list partially checked off,' the New York Post reports.
Both Cazanave, a married mother-of-two and the boy deny any sexual contact.

The Department of Education teacher, who had been at Brooklyn Tech for four years, quit rather than face misconduct charges after a Special Commissioner of Investigation concluded its probe in October.
Her resignation was not due to take effect until February, but she never returned to school after the Christmas break.
A source at the school told the New York Post that the school had 'hustled her out to avoid a scandal.'

ShareCazanave insists her doctor husband had asked her to resign to do 'what's best for my career, me and my children.'

'Sick': Sean Shaynak (left and right) was jailed for five years for having sex with multiple students at the school
In 2014, teacher Sean Shaynak, then 44, was arrested for having sex with six students. The victims claimed he took them to nude beaches and sex clubs and demanded they have sex with others girls.
Shaynak, a divorced dad-of-one who taught math and physics at Brooklyn Technical High School - one of New York City's most selective public schools - also sent pictures of his genitals to a 16-year-old student and offered to buy her cigarettes.
He took one 15-year-old girl to a nude beach in New Jersey without her parents' permission and he also took her to his home, where he plied her with alcohol until she passed out, Mancino said.
He also gave the girls top grades even though they did no work, the prosecutor said.
Shaynak eventually took a plea deal where he pleaded guilty to dozens of charges, including kidnapping, in exchange for just five years in jail.
But he will never be able to teach again. The city paid $450,000 to settle lawsuits by five girls.

Then in December, The Post reported that Tech aide Robert Sutton Jr., 23, was allegedly caught sending a girl a video of himself masturbating at the school.
The video was also allegedly filmed on school grounds. Sutton was fired but so far, no criminal charges have been brought against him.
In the latest scandal, Cazanave and her student's inappropriate relationship was discovered by his parents. His mother came across hundreds of photos of the teacher, often pictured with her son, on his phone, as well as scores of videos, messages and emails.
'You make me unbelievably happy,' the teacher had emailed him on May 7. 'I honestly cannot reason how spending your time with me and sneaking around instead of time with your friends seems like the better way to spend your free time.'
The boy replied that: 'You feel like home and when I'm holding you in my arms time freezes and all of my worries and problems fade away for that moment. I know from the deepest part of me that this is real and that regardless of what happens you are the one for me . . . I love you.'
In another message, sent at 11.24pm, Cazanave said she was writing in his yearbook was too drunk and 'too in love with you to continue.'
