And you know when you're a democrat when you sign DOMA into law, then cheer its end, all while blaming republicans of being the bigots and homophobic, but not in an effort to really fight for individual rights, but in order to obtain a bigger voter base, because democrats dont actually care about individual rights and help minorities else they would stop fight so fiericely for the laws that hurt them the most.

Gee, I can't seem to remember, was George Bush President in 1996?
Oh, wait, it was Bill something.

blue state post. they are like low hanging fruit: CHICAGO COP ARRESTED FOUR TIMES IN SEVEN YEARS STILL WORKING, MAKES $80K
On Dec. 30, 2010, Rizzo was arrested for aggravated assault with a gun and domestic battery after a fight with a 40-year-old man and the man’s 18-year-old son. Both of them lived with Rizzo in a Garfield Ridge bungalow.
The arresting officers said Rizzo punched the older man, grabbed the gun, put the muzzle in the man’s eye and told him, “How about I shoot you in the face?”
A month later, on Jan. 31, 2011, Rizzo was arrested again, this time for domestic battery, after officers said he grabbed his girlfriend “by her throat and began to strangle her.” The arresting officers said she broke away and locked herself in a bedroom. They said Rizzo kicked in the door just before they arrived.
The officers “photographed alleged injuries to victim and damage to the bedroom door,” and the incident was referred to the city’s Independent Police Review Authority for investigation.

We had two at Charlotte High when I was there, and for the life of me I can't remember either of their names. One was sophomore world history, the other was junior English lit. Both recent grads working their first teaching jobs, not all that much older than us.

I've never understood why it is considered a good idea to hire a fresh out of college attractive male/female teacher to teach high school aged students. The age difference is fairly small and even if the teacher has no problem controlling themselves it serves as a distraction for all of the hormone ridden kids. Don't get me wrong I had a smoking hot Spanish teacher in high school and I would have done things if the opportunity presented itself but that is the whole point.

Of course if you have a degree where 90% of your peers go into teaching I imagine the pay swiftly declines.

For the most part, educators in the K-12 domain tend not to move around much through the grade levels. Or, at least, they don't generally do so willingly. Broadly speaking, most people who decide to go into teaching do so with a specific pre-conceived ideal of what level they'd like to teach at. Some specifically want to teach extremely young students, some specifically wish to teach high school, etc.
Where mobility exists within the teaching profession, it is generally upwards into administrative or managerial roles. So someone who started out in the classroom might wind up managing a certain department or program across an entire school district. Or they might move up to a dean / VP / principle role.
In Missy's case, she very specifically wanted to work with elementary-aged ESE students, and spent more than a decade doing so right out of college. (She is now the assistant something-or-other of the whole county's ESE program.)
But in general, teachers do not advance laterally- that is, as a career path, one is not expected to start out teaching the very young and then progress upwards to older and older students. This is especially true once you reach jr. high and high school, where many teaching roles focus on high specific skills and degrees. Eg, one expects a high school calculus teacher to have a college degree in math, whereas a recent college grad with a math degree would not generally tend to seek work teaching first graders.
