MATT SMITH spoke of Re: Tenure to RANDY EDWARDS on 03-02-97
MS>RE> Well, I'd say that the 2 year suspension would've been far
MS>RE> more punishment than what your mythical student would've gotten.
MS> I wouldn't. The student will have a black mark on any possible
MS>college application,
Not Necessarily......and if the kid wasn't interested in going to
college then this wouldn't matter anyway. If he was interested in
attending college I'm sure he could find *some* college that would be
willing to take his tuition money.
something that the suspended teacher need not
MS>worry about.
Not important anyway since the teacher probably has finished his/her
college degree...at least I would hope so...
The student would (likely) have a criminal record,
Which is usually wiped away if the kid doesn't repeat...
MS>something this teacher apparently won't. Those two things would
MS>hurt the hypothetical student's career long after the two years were
MS>over. Not true....
And while he was suspended, the hypothetical student would
MS>be unlikely to get a high-paying manufacturing job at his age.
Not to mention he would have trouble getting into law school...or would
he??
For that matter, many college graduates have trouble getting into a
"high-paying" manufacturing job don't they?
Heck Matt, he'd have trouble getting a job as an astronaut too....so
what's the point?
