Cam ee - are you over 30? Do you have over a Bachelor's degree? Do you have more than 5 years experience? Are you a woman? If you said yes to any of the above, the only place you can get a job is the city. It's called age, sex, or salary discrimination. All the schools want nowadays are new teachers, so they don't have to pay them. Welcome to the club....

My house was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina and I now live in Westmont, IL. I still can't find a band director job. I've never touched a child or done anything inappropriate. I've taught for 10 years and treated all of my kids as if they were my own . I don't get it. Every day you hear of these teachers sexually abusing students, physically abusing students, mentally abusing students...but a normal, highly qualified, honest, moral and experienced band director who would never dream of doing something like that to a child, can't get hired. Do I have to do something like that to get a job? If so, I don't ever want to teach again. It does seem that more and more whacky people are doing terrible things to kids and they can get hired as teachers. What's wrong with this world?

The words head banging give me shivers too. I don't think Patrick went about it in exactly the same way as Charlie...it was a regulatory thing though. He used to bang when he got up in the morning and then before bed often to the point of hurting himself but his day (or night) could not go on until he was finished. yikes!

I actually got 'kicked out of the district' by a certain principal. At one point in berating me, while telling me he was kicking me out, he grabbed my shoulders with force, then shook me VERY hard as he/she continued to spew out verbal venom at me. After she/he was finished, I stepped back, collected myself and politely informed him/her that the school board would be very interested in hearing the manner in which he/she placed his/her hands on me. At that point, my dismissal from the school district was of course dropped and I was free to go about my way at that school from then on. I was a student in the Parkway school district.
