I'm with you!!!!
Quote From: chinduck29Who are any of us to stand in judgment of anyone who has proven their ability in the profession they have chosen? Which of us can say that we don't have something in our past that we are not proud of? I would look at Tericka's teaching abilities and performance as it stands now. The administration did not do an intensive background check, but hired her with confidence. She has proven her ability to teach and had glowing reviews. She made a bad decision when she was young, has been able to turn her life around and do something good with it. Personally, I feel that anyone who can be on the wrong side of the tracks, pull themselves up by their boot straps and get on the right track, can do good. Tericka could very well be the one person who could change the life of a teenager headed down a road she has already traveled. Having been there, done that and gotten to a better place could probably make her a far better teacher than some in the system. I would be 1 of the first to stand behind her and allow my kids to be in her classroom. Experience always has been and always will be the best teacher. I have traveled a road that had some bumps along the way....and I think this is such a sad way to treat a person who has struggled to make it in life.I was blessed with wonderful children and grandchildren(as shown in this picture) Isn't it ironic that students today can destroy a person's livelyhood.....and their self worth..by drudging up the past mistakes? They are the real losers...I so agree with you...It takes tests in life to have a testimony...She could have a wonderful impact on alot of teens going down the wrong road.....Maybe the best is yet to come.....Maybe God wants her to write a book and go on the road as a advocate to help others who have a checkered past????She has gotten this far.....I pray she realizes she is forgiven just like Mary Magdeline was forgiven and was Jesus's dearest friend.......Experience IS the best teacher......and if you are the first to stand in line to let your kids be in her class...I would be right behind you...in 2nd place!(smile) Thank you for your input..I hope she reads what we all think....and believes that God will turn this negative thing into a positive thing.....
