this story is disturbing. there is no justification behind their decision to force her on administrative leave. i think i met tamara once through wendy smith? i feel for her, and if i was loaded, i'd get the best attorneys for her case.

that's exactly who it is.

there are so many teachers who need to be on administrative leave because of their complete disinterest in the progress of their students and complete disdain for the educational system as a whole. they go because it's a paycheck, because they are too lazy to change careers and it's comfortable. tamara isn't like that, she likes teaching. god bless her, she really does and she cares about those kids.

i want benjamin mckenzie to come to austin and do a fundraiser.

Oh wow, you know that girl? Puja's been telling me the story, just from a photographer's perspective. How very sad and frightening.

yeah, we worked together a couple of summers ago. what sucks is that she means well, you know? i saw the pictures, they aren't pornorific at all, they are tasteful and artistic. it sucks when administrations are able to regulate what teachers do between 4 pm and 7 am (given that they aren't breaking the law)

Just who is this gayle andrews? 1stcyborg June 23 2006, 11:30:28 UTC
I am having a devil of a time deciphering the streams of information on this story that is being covered in my blog. Ms Hoover seems more like a candidate for Teacher of the Year than anything else. Somehow America got turned around and perceptions and easy money became more than dedication and giving kids a great foundation in education, especially the arts.

My question is (sorry it really is easy to get on the soapbox!) having worked with Tamara in trhe past did you ever have any interactions with Gayle Andrews? You may reply directly in the Hell Direct Line email address on the newspaper's website: http://thedisbrimstone-dailypitchfork.blogspot.com/
