Dear Good Job,
I feel terrible writing in about something like this, but I am in charge of interviewing potential new hires for teaching positions for a middle school and could really use an outside perspective. Recently I interviewed a new applicant, “Rhonda,” who is impeccably qualified and a lovely warm person. My concern is that she is applying to teach 8th graders and her breasts are gigantic. We are talking bigger than basketballs. Considering the maturity level of the kids involved I feel like it would be throwing raw meat to a pack of hungry wolves if I were to give Rhonda the job . Should I turn her down for the position,
