Surprisingly, many of the applicants were rejected, because in a nutshell, there was no way that I was going to let them within ten feet of a kid, let alone trust them in a room alone with a while classroom full of them. These are some of the crazy things I have heard over the years from those that thought they would make perfect preschool teachers: Question: How long have you worked in the child development field? Answer: "Well, I was a kid for like 12 years or so but I grew up fast so maybe 10 years of experience being a child." Answer: "I was a teacher for about five years before I went to jail for killing my boyfriend, cause he slept with this girl, so now I am trying to get back into teaching." Question: Do you have a criminal record that may prevent you from working with kids? Answer: "I have a criminal record but there were not kids involved, so yeah, I can work with kids." Answer: "I was busted a while ago for DUI, but now I am real careful when I drive drunk." Answer: "What exactly do you mean by criminal?" Question: What makes you want to work with children (asked to a male teaching candidate)? Answer: "Well, honestly, I have heard that you can meet a lot of single moms in this profession." Question: You said that you were terminated from the last school you worked at, what was the reason? Answer: "Well, they said I hit this kid. But I didn't, I just pushed him a little, so they fired me." Answer: "There was this one kid that I hated and I kinda got pissed off and smacked him – but I am sure I will like all the kids here and that would never happen." Question: What qualities do you have that would make you work well with young children? Answer: "Well, I am really immature so I can relate to them and I also like to play with toys and video games. I think that they would like that." Question: Is there anything else you would like to tell me about yourself? Answer: "Well, I want to make at least $40,000 a year." (This person had no experience, had just graduated from high school and showed up in sweats and a t-shirt that said "Bite me.") Answer: "Yes, I wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner with me later and maybe a drink. I think you're really pretty." Answer: "Yes, I was wondering how long I have until I have to take a drug test. I am going to need a few days at least." Answer: "I was wondering what the policy was on drinking on your lunch break." (The person was interviewing to be a bus driver.) Answer: "Do I really have to teach them stuff or can I just babysit them?" Answer: "If you hire me today can you give me an advance on my first paycheck? I've got a lot of bills to pay." Needless to say once I got these answers, the interview was over. – By Richel Newborg

Stay home with your kids. No matter how stupid you are, you cannot be this stupid. Can you?
I hope not too many are as stupid as some of the replies from these alleged "job seekers" would indicate. Of course some of them might be drawing unemployment and just be pretending to look for work I suppose.
