Jim Jones teaching music in New York high school?

[dacalion]

This has got to be a joke or some publicity stunt type ish...read this carefully and tell me what this man is capable of teaching?!?!?!?

Diplomats rapper Jim Jones announced that he will be trading in the mic for the textbooks, taking over as a music instructor. Jones, who is expected teach at a New York City high school, told Rap Radar he is excited about the opportunity. "It's definitely going to be fun. I [will] have to go home the weekend before and write out my lessons," he continued, "This will be the funnest class you can go to and shit but you gonna learn a lot."
The Dipset member is expected to teach for just eight weeks and is currently waiting for the green light. "Right now they're actually going back and forth with the Board of Education to see what goes on and shit. I fully don't know the whole logistics of everything."

Although Jones has never taught a music course before, he feels as though he has a lot to offer. "I've done music business since I was a teenager. I had major executive positions. I've been successful as an artist and successful as a label. We've been successful as a movement."

Although a location and date have not yet been set, Jones plans to begin his role as a high school music instructor later in the year

Nice... can't wait for Kanye to start teaching Choir Class.

I think more people like him should be teachers. Most teachers have never actually done what they are teaching in real life. Having someone in the classroom with real experience is invaluable.

I would LOVE to take a class from Kayne.

Then the question becomes is "Jim Jones" gonna teach school or is (Gov't name) gonna teach cause Jimmy would be my first option. Their BRAND is their EVERYTHING. I he breaks character then he is Jim Jones the thug, he's jim jones the substitute teacher.

Being stupid and being ignorant are two different things. Most people are smart but they choose to be ignorant.

Put it like this...If they let Jim Jones teach at a school that my child was attending, I would transfer my child, period. Even if the school board NEVER heard of Jim Jones...It would seem that his name alone would set off some alarms. Thats like hiring an elementary school bus driver named Chester imo. They cant be seriously thinking of doing this.
