DICKSON, Tenn. -- Tina Young teaches kindergarten at Oakmont Elementary School in Dickson. When she went to Walmart during her lunch break Oct. 20, she was stopped for stealing a $62 wrinkle cream.

When Dickson police arrived, they discovered there was more there than just a potential shoplifting.
Jenkins is still at work at Oakmont Elementary, despite what her arrest revealed: The schoolteacher is also Nashville resident Tina Tope and has at least three DUI convictions. She was also convicted of stealing steaks from the east Nashville Kroger this summer.
"You just wonder what kind of screening there is, background checks, and how does one get to be a teacher and not have a driver's license and have another alias name? It just is a concern, really makes you wonder who's teaching kids," said Dickson parent Karen Ragland. "Why did no one know about that until know? How did she get here to start with?" said Sheena Chambers, another Dickson parent.
Director of Schools Johnny Chandler did not return Channel 4's calls. In February, when Channel 4 asked Chandler about hiring people with criminal records, he said the severity of the individual's issues is examined
Its hard to find even bad teachers anymore that are willing to be policemen in the classroom.
How can anyone want to be bothered with that?
Oh So Guilty!!
Believe me, it's tough...
At one time I actually thought about teaching after I retire. It was a good idea until I actually talked to a lady who teaches here locally and she completely changed my mind and never even knew it.
All she did was speak the truth about her job and how bad it is today.
Enough for me.
I would bet she is NEA protected.

Last semester our daughter worked in our school dist, had to get fingerprinted and a background check done.(1)
This semester she works at a near by school district - another fingerprinting and background was check done.
(1) She's a TA right now and no 'Obama Stimulus Money' came to our School Dist. Many Teachers and TAs let go.
well looks like the wrinkle cream was definitely needed... ; )
She works there to be closer to her dealer.
Sure has that look.
Where’s Laz? He’d hit it.
It was middle school, but the kids were absolute punks. They would do things that woyuld put an adult behind bars, but were given a pass. I tolerated abuses that, had they happened off school grouns and on my own time, would have resulted in a dead or crippled 13 year old.
For instance: pushing other kids down a flight of strairs.
Students willfully defying orders and then making up lies to get me in trouble.
Punching other students in the face hard, right in front of me and then denying it ever happened.
Kids beating up the retarded kids in my class, merely because they were an easy mark.
If that is not sociopathic behavior, I don't know what is. And of course, anyone "of color" was given a complete pass, which resulted in a terrified minority of white kids who were brutalized on a daily basis, with no support or shelter from the adults around them. Even the in-school police officer was warned not to make waves. If I was him, I would have made multiple arrests EVERY DAY.
I felt like my school was merely a holding facility to allow the students to get old enough to go to prison. The bad kids had dead eyes like you see in a killer: No remorse, no humanity, no comprehension of anything that we consider good and moral.
I see you are in Texas where was this school?
There is a FReeper who works there, Clara Lou.
Maybe because of my interest in psychology, or maybe because I was bullied as a child, but I was keenly aware of the dynamics of fear, intimidation, and violence that happened around me, daily.
The teachers, fully cowed and holding their quaint liberal values, did not want to deal with it or even acknowledge that it existed. It was out of their control, and they tended to punish the VICTIM harshly because it was safer to their careers.
The administrators were pure political hacks who did not want to kick out or even disipline a student because it made them look bad and interfered with their career options (in that they would not get promoted).
For a year afterwards I did not want to have children for fear they would be like those heathen animals. Many of them literally had no soul: no empathy towards other living things. no hesitancy to use violence. They enjoyed hurting others, it was the norm.
I often told myself that if I ever won the lottery, I would give money to the parents of the white children to get them out of that hateful environment and into a private school. I think it is a national tragedy that those young, promising lives are utterly destroyed so as to serve the scam of "diversity". It makes me mad thinking about, because I can see the faces of my good students, and the pain, sadness, and fear that their faces revealed.
Also, I am disgusted at the staff and administrators who allowed it all to happen, over and over, so as to not make waves.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw her picture. Eerie.
Meth was my first thought, as well. She was probably quite good looking at one time.
Meth is a good guess.
I would have expected a big city school but not Bryan.
Is this the one who stole the wrinkle cream?
You can buy crack there easily. I know this because when I went to rent some Mexican laborers to help me pack up and move, I went to the wrong area a few blocks away, and was kindly directed, by crack dealers, to the correct zone.
My husband and I lived in Bryan for 6 months in 1958 while he finished college at A&M. I don’t remember anything like this at the time.
Allow me to reitierate: the children were feral and on a career path straight to prison or dead in a drug deal gone wrong.
Heartbreaking.

It’s the same way if you’re a black kid going through a mostly white school like I did in the mid-90’s. Started when I got on the bus in the morning; I wasn’t allowed to look at anyone, only out the window on pain of me getting beat up. Didn’t stop til after the 7th grade when I went through a growth spurt and joined the football team. I beat the s*** out of one of my tormentors and sent him to the hospital...got suspended but no one messed with me after that.
Finally felt safe when I went to a mostly (abit barely) black high school.
