I still can’t really talk about the new job (that restriction should be gone to some extent by the end of the week) but I’m pretty sure I can talk about this.
There’s a new kid coming into the building next year. This is obviously not a new thing.
He has a criminal record. This is also obviously not a new thing, although I’d prefer it happen less often.
The criminal record involves felonies. This is, uh, worse.
Felonies involving state police. Even rarer.
I am likely getting some of the details wrong and am probably lying about some of them, but apparently this kid has managed, in two separate incidents, to shut down the email system of an entire school corporation and once managed to coax state government officials into giving him important email passwords over the phone, which he used to impersonate a government official in mass emails to members of a school community.
In…
wait for it.
Wait for it.
waaaaaaiiiiiiittttt for it.
Fourth grade.
He did this in fourth grade. He was arrested from his dinner table and charged with multiple felonies in the fourth grade.
And he’s ours next year.
Fun!

At least no criminal sexual activity.
Sadly, I wish that was a joke for that age bracket…

Really? Over the phone? I think those gov’t officials deserved it if they couldn’t tell it was a KID on the phone.
I had a Filipino girl in high school impersonate my Korean mom to excuse my absence in high school, but this guy is light years beyond.
This guy sounds wicked smart. I’d sort of like to meet him. Actually, he sounds awesome. Can I meet him?

If anything, this proves the absurd outdatedness of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), (link here) The law’s way out of whack, and I wouldn’t hold it seriously against the guy at all. Just feed that hacker instinct by throwing some computer-based problems at him.

So… you’re saying if I don’t get a teaching job for next year, that might be a good thing?
Silver lining?

It could be worse. I once had a student removed from my classroom for grand theft auto. When another teacher asked me “What, like the game?” I realized it was my time to get out of the profession or at least that school district. I did both.

He does sound intriguing, clever, and smart. If you could harness all of that for something good, the results could be magnificent, and it makes me wonder……

I was “teaching” French (you don’t really teach at this place, you just babysit) at a local community college. One of my students had to ask me to sign for him every single day. I finally chuckled, “Gee , you must have done something pretty bad if I have to keep signing for you,” to which he replied by showing me the tether on his ankle and grinning. “What did you do?” I persisted, still not noticing the mouth with missing teeth and the kind of baldness you can only get from syphilis. “It was an armed robbery and I killed someone,” he smiled. My knees knocked, I signed, and I never asked him any more questions. Why don’t I teach there anymore? He was one of a great number of people, who, although not wearing tethers, should have been.
