[C. Edmund Wright]

<> Are you delusional? Do you think the airtight government school cabal would EVER let a real business man in front of their precious little budding socialists - EVER? Let alone on a regular schedule? That's my whole point. It is a closed system, by design, to keep a professional class of education dept grads. Now I admire that you teach history with a knowledge in history - instead of a knowledge of indoctrination. Wish more were like you. But "then do it?" REally. Are you that blind to the reality of any businessman or Doctor or lawyer or anyone else who might want to give back - would never be allowed to do so? Wake up.

You need to get out more. Some states would welcome someone with your ability. Schools are not monolithic. The horror stories are always in California, New York and up north.
We are more enlightened in the stupid south. I get to teach pretty much what I want as long as the material is covered. I had a degree in history. Prior to that I ran my own business. Years ago when I was young I was a State Trooper. There is no cabal. Not in my state. If you are qualified it doesn't matter. Whether you believe that or not is up to you. If you have a degree in economics etc. you simply have to pass a couple of general skills tests and one in a specialization. Take three courses in psych., testing and classroom management and you are in. Now that was ten years ago. There may be one or two more requirement but they are not bad. We are looking for people who have the knowledge.
