I have this one student who who, everyday after I say "Hi", says, "Can I just go to the office?" I always tell him to take a seat and then try to teach him something. He talks a lot during class but does not usually cause any serious problems. Today was different. Today when I told him to take his seat he turned to the rest of the class and said "My mother raped me." So, I walked him out of the class room and had him sit outside the room until the assistant principal came by to get him. He was picked up by a sheriff's deputy. I don't know where they took him. After school I called DCSS and faxed in the report. I feel sorry for the boy's parents if it isn't a true accusation.

I am about to be fifty years old and I am embarking on a new career. in the past I have been a soldier, a bookkeeper, an advertising executive, a paralegal, and a real estate investor. For the last two years I have been working as a substitute teacher. My education has kind of been all over the place. I was homeschooled until I joined the U.S. Army at age 17. They trained me to be a chaplain assistant, a personnel clerk, and a combat lifesaver (kind like a low level medic. All it really meant was that I could start IVs, treat for shock, and give morphine). The army also sent me to The Air Assault School . About a year before I got out of the Army I took a class in sociology at Austin Peay State University and discovered that I enjoyed academics, so when I was discharged from the army and moved to California I started taking classes at De Anza College....
