I also have a family full of teachers... and around here there are two ways to get a teaching job. It's preferred if you do both... 1)Have a mother, father, grandparent, aunt, uncle, third cousin's dog's veterinarian's sister, husband's brother's mistress' brother, etc. who is on the school board or is a school principal. 2)Be unhealthily anorexically thin and drop dead gorgeous. Extra points if you are willing to sleep with some or all of the school administration. Isn't it nice to know we are presenting such good role models to our children? *cough cough* It sounds like we are practically two peas in a pod…
