[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for the teacher, honestly.

She went to prison, then went to earn a teaching certificate in Virginia. (Aside-if its not legal for felons to teach in school, then why did they credential her to teach in VA?)

Good point.  I think each case needs to be reviewed independently because a blanket rule does not fit every situation.  The age of offense, length of time since offense, as well as, the actual offense needs to be considered.  I am all for rehabilitation but not in our school system for an adult convicted of drug charges, weapons or [u]anyone[/u] convicted of child sex offenses.  For instance a teenager or young college student who made a one time mistake, stole something, small drugs charge, got in a fight, drove on a suspended license, or the like, should not be punished for the rest of their life. [b]But an adult should know better and if convicted must pay the consequences of their actions even if it means crappy jobs.  They definitely should not be in the school system, honest on app. or not.[/b][/quote]

OP...meant to say the age [b]at time[/b] of offense[/quote]
