"Now any of my students can find me and those whom I've failed or had suspended can do me great damage'
Oh, my. Have you considered teaching while wearing a burkha?
Whatdaya.... some kinda wise guy? Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck
It's not quite so funny when you consider I have had three sitting in jail for armed robbery and a couple on parole for attempted murder. Those just the ones I know about and I found out by accident. How would you like to have some convicted felons mad at you and knowing all the small details of your life...available at the click of a button? Most of the punks wouldn't set foot in a courthouse to look up records. But gather it anonymously over the web? You bet. Teaching as deep into the inner city as I do has always contained an element of risk and that's okay. I've been at this for 17 years and never been hurt yet...although I know teachers that have been badly injured by their kids. I've only got a few more years until I can retire.
