Dr, Phil
So, Dr, Phil was on the other day and he had a very interesting show on about teachers.
In one story, the woman had a seedy past where she had 'acted' in porn movies. Some students found out and her contract was not renewed. It was interesting. Does this woman have a right to keep her job? I don't know what the rules are in the states, but I seriously have a problem with this woman losing her job. She did nothing illegal and it happened 11 years ago. Personally I think she'd make a great role model of how a person can change who they are and the mistakes they've made. The main discussion of the show was if teachers should be held to a higher moral standard than the rest of the population. I find it funny that some people think that we can't have lives simply because we teach. My personal life should not reflect upon my professional one. But that's just my opinion!

Hmmm... this teacher needs to uphold a higher moral standard because why? She is a role model? So shouldn't parents be held up to a higher moral standard as well? Or are they not suppose to be role models for their kids?
(Or have I completely missed the point?)
I too think she is a great example of someone who has worked through her past mistakes and made herself a better person. It should be an encouragement to others, not a mark of sin.
Nope, you haven't missed the point. It was ridiculous. Very good point about the parents too!
