Wet and Reckless - Becoming a Teacher
Hello all!
I’m about to finish my bachelors degree, and would like to enter in a program to become an elementary teacher following graduation.
Three years ago I was convicted of a wet and reckless. Would this affect my chances of becoming a teacher, or even substitute teacher?
I did apply to be a substitute teacher in my district in order to gain some experience and a learn about teaching in different grades. I disclosed the wet and reckless on my application. I’m also debating on emailing the hiring manager with expressed interest. Would you consider this a good idea, and if so, should I mention the conviction in my email as well?
