Give major kudos to the parents of Buena Township, New Jersey. (hat tip: Fox News) Producers of the "Simple Life" TV show had approached the school board in Buena Vista and put forward the idea of letting Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie substitute teach for a day in the junior high school as part of the upcoming "Simple Life" season.
The school board was amenable to the idea and sent home notices with the kids as to what was coming. Evidently the torrid avalanche of reaction helped them to decide otherwise.
This is an excerpt, to read more click here...
I doubt the kids would be treated any differently than by a female teacher. On second thought, in view of recent history of female teachers, this is not a good idea.

LOL! (And YUCK!)
She doesn't need to be teaching Jr. High girls, either. Most of them have enough of a challenge to avoid all the potholes in the road ahead, without seeing the life of a self-absorbed skank glamorized for them in person.
Maybe that's a double standard, maybe it's not. Here's the gist though:
But some responded angrily, saying that Hilton, whose celebrity was fueled by an X-rated home video that made the rounds of the Internet, was not a fit role model for middle school students.
If my son is using Paris Hilton as a ROLE MODEL, I've got a lot bigger problems than him getting the clap from making out with her. (Course if he knocked her up, he'd have access to the Hilton fortune and we'd all be in like Flynn!)

Man, where were those teachers when I was in school???
That is who she is teaching. There was a great south park episode about her. Her audience is teenage girls and they love her.
In most places, substitute teachers require a license. A license requires a bachelor's degree.
What university granted rocket scientist Paris a degree? I don't think she has one...
I'm not sure that a teaching license is required for a sub.
They could, however, get Britney Spears.
Let be blunt there are things out there penicillin does not kill. Besides she is an ugly, too much makeup, too skinny tramp.I couldn't agree more!
First, truthfully analyze general American social aspects of the year 1975. In America. In terms of crime statistics, broken families, STDs, school dropout rates, wife-beating, single moms/deadbeat dads, overall obscenity, drug use, divorce, cohabitation, illegitime children, abortion, filthy lyrics in popular songs on the AM, swear words on TV, etc.
If the conclusion one can come to is that the quality of moral life in America was BETTER 30 years ago, and one accepts the premise that American movies/television and fads have a strong social impact in shaping us as a people, then ask if that specific thing that is now proposed in 2005 (such as a visit by really nothing more than a glorified amateur adult movie actress to an American junior high school), would have been accepted or even entertained as an idea in 1975 by American Society then.
If the answer is no, and since that past American society was empirically shown to be morally superior, then the answer to whether or not such a proposed program should proceed in 2005, (such as legitimizing the morality of Paris Hilton), is accordingly answered IMHO.
The answer is "no".
Who says we cannot turn American society BACKWARDS to the days when it was, without a doubt, GREATER?

double post. sorry
Absolutely right! Most of my substitute teachers were completely unqualified for teaching--they just happened to be friends or relatives of the absent teacher. In 5th grade, our teacher's sister, a woman that had to be pushing 80, would periodically hobble in with a cane and a knitting bag and tell us to do whatever her sister had assigned us to do. What I remember most about her is that she wore these non-elastic stockings that, as the day progressed, would sag and sag until they were bunched around her ankles ((((shudder))))!
We would've killed for Paris Hilton.
I saw the Paris Hilton video and would hope her enthusiasm for teaching is more than her enthusiasm for sex, She was either drunk or numb or about to fall asleep thru the whole thing.
Did she know it was being filmed? I dont know. Did she care? obviously not.
Ping....LOL!
