Can you still be a high school mathmatics teacher if you have been convicted of 2 misdemeanor.?

You can go to college and train to be a teacher but I think it would be difficult for you to get a job.  Schools are being more strict and checking backgrounds these days.  I think it would depend on the outcome of the misdemeanors and your age at the time, how many years elapsed, etc.  I think you would be wise to change careers.

Doesn't sound like it was a misdemeanor. There are all sorts of minor violations which do not become part of any criminal / permanent / public records. If all you got was a ticket, then this is probably not something still on your record.

No you can't, at least not in most states.  It's illegal to employ a felon in the health field

I've never been convicted of a felony, but I was charged with a few misdemeanors when I was 20.  (Back when I was young and stupid in college.)  I could have had them wiped out afterwards but I didn't have it done.  You have to petition the court to get it cleared.  I would just call a law office and ask or call the courthouse and ask.  They should be able to get you your answer and the proper way to do it.  Personally, I'd would just own it.  Everyone makes mistakes, I've never been questioned about my juvenile record and I think if you have it sealed, it will just raise doubt and questions about your past.  Be honest and straight with people, and they will return the favor when it comes time to hire.

Not for sure about Florida, but I believe it takes five years for a misdemeanor to be able to be expunged. If the battery was domestic violence, then I don't know.

Your state would be helpful to answer your question completely.  But I will tell you what it would mean in New York.\n\nIf it is not a misdemeanor or a felony it technically is not a crime, but a violation much like a traffic ticket.  While it will be on your criminal record it should not prevent you from entering the criminal justice field of employment.  My advice is to own up to it, never lie about it and when asked about it be honest and say what it was...a monumental lapse in judgment.  There are thousands of police officers, lawyers and judges who have misdemeanor convictions and this is less than that.\n\nWhat you did was not a felony.  It was mere possession.  What your friend did was, that was technically a sale (just to let you know.)  Before someone jumps on me, you don't need to exchange money for a sale, simply giving drugs to someone is in and of itself a transaction and constitutes a sale under the law, although rarely prosecuted.\n\nListen to your lawyer, get a lawyer if you don't have one, and they will tell you the ramifications for pleading guilty.\n\nThe one thing that might come back to haunt you is that federal student aid can be denied for narcotic convictions regardless of the level.  So be aware of that.\n\nSome of the advice on here is really, really bad so always speak with an attorney in your State that will be best to assist you.

theres a statute of limitations on all crimes. Also, theres a thing call double jeopardy (no, not the gameshow) where you can't be charged twice for the same crime.

Absolutely.  They do not do  criminla back ground check for law school.  My godfather got a DUI and spent two years in prison for drugs.  He got out, cleaned up his act, ended up at Georgetown and make a killing as a lawyer now.  You will have to work a little harder to overcome this but it is not the end of the world!  Good luck in you quest.  Wish you the best!

Uh unfortunately no. (lol) In NJ we have what is called an "Alternate Route" program. It may be the same in other states but with a different name. Basically you will not have to go back and go through an extensive formal teaching program. Instead,  you will probably have to take basic teaching courses, and maybe a relevant psychology or two. Check with your states Education Association for more information. Try to look for a link along the lines of "Alternate Route"

Yes, even if your found not guilty or prove the charge false and/or malicious it is still on your record. Some states allow for a misdermenor charge to be expunged but the expungement still shows on the record only the name of offense is deleted.

I am a convicted felon. I think you should first learn to write a question that makes sense. "do they supposed to do" WTF go to school or go back to a life of crime.

Laws vary from state to state, so check with the Department of Teacher Certification in your state. Most likely you will, in fact, be able to teach, and in the process will have a good lesson to teach to your students if you will be teaching high school. I am assuming that the experience was a negative one from which you learned a valuable lesson: that you can kill while driving drunk. I had a good friend killed by a drunken driver, so I am fairly intolerant of those who do.

Probably.  I suggest you contact the school or school district you attended to find out.

Yes, you are allowed to have 2 felonies and 3 misdemeanors on your record. If you have a deferred adjudication on your record, you don't need to disclose it if the deferrment is more than 3 years old.

You are fine.   You have not been convicted of a felony, so check "NO."   \n\nWho doesn't have a misdemeanor or two these days, thanks to our politicians "getting tough on crime"?    Good luck to you.

you should try going to the clerk at the courthouse and ask them how to get an expungment of your felony or at least drop to a misdemeanor.  I did that a last year ago and it cost me about $60.00.  Of course every case is different.  I had a felony and a strike on my record and serve time.  But i was doing really good for the past 7 years...so GL!

YES you can.  Dont worry.  I remember student teaching with a girl who had a DUI...Lets say, she got the job after graduating.  So a 50 check?  Who cares! Dont worry!!!! Just use this incident as a reminder to take care of your finances as well as you probably do your students!  :)
