Ned Lamont Not A Teacher?

Well, that appears somewhat like, ... it all depends on what the meaning of is is. Democrat candidate for Senate Ned Lamont frequently bills himself as a teacher within an inner city school.

He should probably get a pass. It's no worse than playing a mean air guitar and telling everyone you're a Rock Star, sorta.

"That's stretching it," said (Principal) Sanchez, who said he admires Lamont's commitment to his school.

The facts surrounding the issue are clear. During the 2004-05 school year, Lamont served as a volunteer teacher at Harding. He helped a certified teacher lead two classes on how to start a business and brought in outside experts to bolster the course.

Hector Sanchez, Harding's principal, said Lamont helped teach once a week, on Mondays, for two periods, which amounts to 1.5 hours for the day. The effort lasted the school year, Sanchez said.

In 2005-06, Lamont volunteered to help teach a similar class at Bassick High School.

Lamont's campaign staff said he has done some teaching this year, but admitted that effort has been occasional.
So does that give Lamont a right to portray himself as a teacher?

Um, he served as a volunteer teacher,unless you question the meaning of 'teacher' then it seems 100% certain that he did in fact serve as a teacher.

He actually bills himself as an entrepreneur, with real world experience in creating jobs, solving problems, etc.

Again with the bs

No, dopehead.

Yes, he's a teacher.

However, he's also a jackass.

So multi-tasking seems to be his forte.
