He did 200 hours of community service for it (assault), and will be spent in a couple of years. I'm worried though that in teaching, a conviction is never 'spent'.
It definitely had nothing to do with kids! Just a fight in the street that got out of hand…
My dream was to be a teacher and it is not happening because the job market is completely flooded. There are way too many teachers and not enough jobs for most subjects, depending on where you live (I cannot move) and what you want to teach. So, that should be a concern, unless you can move.
They WILL check his background. In my state, once a school hires you, you must be fingerprinted. This is done through a printing company, not the schools. They will check and then notify the school of the results. I am not sure how that will be handled, whether the state makes the rules or the school does. I can tell you this, for sure, if the state says he can teach, that absolutely does not mean he will find a job. It is the school's perogative to decide who they wish to hire, and with the market so bad in so many states, they won't pick someone with a criminal background. Honestly, if I lost out to someone with such a history, I would be furious, because I have no record, not even a ticket. I know he may regret what he did, but this is a field that can and will be picky. I know talented teachers with Master degrees out of work.
One thing for sure, do not rely on the colleges to know what is what. They want your $, they won't care if you cannot find a job. So, find out your state's rules and check into other states. All you have to do is call the state Department of Education and find out what the regulations are. I am pretty sure an assault is going to be an issue, so he should look into other careers. But, again check and see, that way you KNOW. If the state is ok with it, the schools will decide whether to hire him or not, so that is where your main concern would lie if he spent a lot of $.
Good luck with getting the info.
