SaintsFAN:

That is great and congratulations.  Thanks for updating us on that difficult situation you had to endure.  I (and I'm sure our other colleagues) kept you in prayer regarding that, and I am relieved (although that obiviously can't even compare to as much as your own relief ) that you were exonerated in such a frivilous  and mean-spirited accusation.  Although life throws us some nasty and very trying situations on many occasions, indeed, the TRUTH prevails in the end.  It has to, and you know that "the Man upstairs" will eventually see to that somehow, someway.  Again, congrats and now you can "get on with your life" in a new and fresh, exciting way. 

All the best to you,

I've been busy and haven't watched the news in a while...but I do know the difference between one of SaintsFan's 7 diamond girls and Macke's 3 diamond girls...Sophistication!!!!!

It's hard being a male teacher because once you're accused, even if your as innocent as day, you'll always be guilty. At Deer Park, a teacher left in the middle of the year due to pressure from the BOE. A girl accused him of looking at her in a seductive way. The girl's dad came to the school and had to be restrained from beating the teacher's a$$. DP investigated the matter and found that the teacher was clean. The BOE, however, as a result of pressure by some community members and threat of being sued by the girls parents, pressured the teacher. He was demoted grade levels and was constantly being "observed" by school superiors. The BOE finally got what they wanted.

When I was at Bethel, there was a press clipping about a teacher who was fired for messing with the HS girls. He claimed he was innocent but the school found otherwise and fired him, plus he and the school were sued for a handsome sum of money. This guy finally committed suicide because he knew that he would never be able to teach and be a respected person...the problem was he REALLY was innocent and the girl(s) came clean after they found out he killed himself.

I do know you have idiots who fool around with students and some pretty bad things happen, but as a male teacher, its tough. You have to be on top of everything. Is all it takes is for 1 girl student to claim you gave her an awkward glance and you're f*cked!

I think it is hard being a teacher, male or female.  Teachers can be accused of anything that can ruin their career. 
Sometimes you can be accused of some of the most outrageous things as a teacher.  I was actually accused of being to mean .  It was very hard from not laughing in the parents face.  I did admit to being a strict teacher & that I believe in students have to be responsible for their actions.  Then I showed the parent their daughter's grade of a 32% w/ 11 missing assignments, said thank you very coming to see me & walked away. 

[M and L]

It is hard for that student to be responsible when their parents don't want to take responsiblilty for their kids failing.....So they accuse you of being to mean.


Ohh how wise we could smack the kids around like the good old days.

Ironic b/c of recent converstation, but last night I was watching the news about an administrator that has been transferred b/c of inappropriate acts w/ a high school student.  The school district (Los Angeles Unified) couldn't prove anything b/c the student had turned 18 & wouldn't cooperate w/ authorities.  The principal was transferred to a middle school & was just arrested of kidnapping & sexual assult of a 13 year old.

It's waste of space people like this that make it difficult for all teachers.

Macke...what's the outlook for next year?

[M and L]

Well, I just applied for a job at Mercy High School.  Harrison High School has a guy retiering in SS and the PE job that I have is going to be open next year, but there is no word on either of them.

I don't know right now, I'm just being patient right now I guess.

There is going to be a Coaching opening at Turpin HS.  A buddy of mine was their Defensive Coordinator and just had twins.  He's out because of the time involved with raising two kids.

[Adam Sayer]

What does he teach?

[M and L]

Brenton Eisnhard dad's coaches and teaches there

[M and L]

I wonder what  he had been up to lately?

[SaintsFAN]

 He teaches history.  He's keeping that job...but the coaching is done.

[Adam Sayer]

Forest Hills school district always has openings and is a very good paying district. I'm sure more will open up.

I broke my nose and have a huge gash on my nose and eye from playing flag football last night. The kids have been giving me hell and the teachers think I'm covering up a crazy St. Patty's Day bar fight. I didn't think I could get any uglier...I was wrong. The other guy doesn't look as bad, but he was knocked out and spent about 30 seconds crawing around on the turf.

Tyrelle Pryor has narrowed his choice to 2 schools. He wouldnt say which two, but an informent said it was Ohio State and Michigan because he never took visits to Penn State or Oregon. He also said he thinks it will end up being Ohio State. The decision is supposed to be made sometime this week.

I personally just wish Tyrelle Pryor would make up his mind and get out of the spot light.  I wasn't recruited highly and never really had any type of fanfare like the kids go through, but this whole fiasco has made me really leary of the type of kid he is.  He might turn out to be  really big deal and be a great kid.  It just seems kind of unnessecary to me that this has be drawn out and be such a big deal.

I blame the media just as much, but at the same time, for a kid who says he doesn't want to be in the spotligh, he sure nows how to get in front camera and make a big deal of things. 

Hopefully for his sake as well as the school(even if it is OSU) he chooses it works out and he is a great player. 

Damn has it been slow lately, we need to figure out something to talk about.  I have to waste time some how.

[Adam Sayer]

He put everything off because he wanted to concentrate on basketball and didn't want the recruiting process to effect his team...they won the state championship on Saturday and on Sunday/Monday said he was ready to make a commitment.

It was reported the day before signing day that he was set to sign with Ohio State. Since, after he didn't make the decision, it seems like Ohio State was still his choice, but he wanted to concentrate on basketball. Something tells me that maybe his basketball coach stepped in and asked him to put it off so it wouldn't effect the team...which, due to the way it is nowadays (media attention), would have occured. I think the talk of Penn State and Oregon were to keep the reporters at bay.
