A breast pump?!?!?! What in God's name is embarassing about a piece of machinery? Some of you people need a reality check. Although I must admit, it somewhat fits in with the Hooters theme...Moooooo!

Totally off-subject here: If it was common for that teacher to leave her breast pump out on the desk, I would be turned off by it also. Next thing you know, the male teachers will be leaving their recently used jockstraps and jock cups atop their desks too. That just seems disrespectful, almost trashy.

momof5 guess we have something in common scratching heads. On no undies no bra, pretty indecent, young boys shouldn't have to see nips. from there teacher, underage who cares. First of all no real proof. I've been at a bar (restaurant) and had nonalcoholic drinks so have my kids. Kids can be served with parents in bars that's not illegal. You don't know if a parent wasn't there. I guess I also don't agree a person can die for there Country at 18, but not drink. So far all of her FREE volunteering hasn't done harm to the girls in fact it sounds like it's been pretty POSITIVE!!!!!!! Sorry the whole world can't be as good as you. By the way take a poll the biggest percentage of people have had a drink before 21. The point is be responsible don't drive. I also think if you polled the teachers most of them have also, before 21( probable even some from the school board and officers). Are we now going to fire them? Besides kids now have there minds made up, on what they are going to do, or not do. A coach isn't going to change that, or persuade them when your teaching dance routines for an hour or two. There not thinking of anything else. These kids are not that impressionable, and what do you think their going to do in College?

Mac: (scratching head)....How or why is going commando a big whoop at school for a teacher? Is the teacher announcing to the class that she/he is not wearing undies? Still don't get how upsetparent correlates underage drinking to a breast bump and absent brassiere, and I REALLY don't get how you can condone underage drinking but yet say not wearing undies IS a big deal??? (Still scratching head....)

dame21 at 10:32 totally agree

momof5 O-M-G commando IS a big woop when on school time, and free boob-in it". What they do on their own time. who cares. What anyone does on their own time at any job who cares. Most people have had a drink before 21 and not in private, she wasn't hiding it, being honest. People drink in church, communion that's not questioned.
missabby sounds like she's jealous cat claws are out.
Presidents of US not perfect, still run the country.
Congress men - the same
Other teachers not perfect either
Some parents don't set a good example
Police have done wrong
etc, etc, etc
Yet a young girl is suppose to be a Perfect role model, nun like, not to have a normal life, never to make a mistake. Why should she be different then the rest of the world? Jenni's got my vote she's at least human. Wish she was teaching my kids. Sometimes the best role models are people that are not perfect they learn from mistakes and don't think there better then others.

Call me out then! Who am I =] I'm not afraid of anyone knowing

upsetparent: O-M-G!! A breast pump is LEGAL. There is NO law or rule dictating that a woman has to wear a bra. Imagine how many teachers (male and female) go commando. Big whoop. These pictures are of an underage woman enbibing alcohol. That, my lovely, is ILLEGAL. HUUUUUGE difference between that and a breast pump or "free boobin' it!"

I guess Middle school does not have impressionable minds. When a teacher my son had left her breast pump on her desk and another would come to school with no bra. That must have been OK, she didn't loss her job. I'm not saying she should have either that's part of life. But the way you sound all teachers or coaches should be saints, not human. All teachers and coaches should be allowed to have a life outside of school. They are roll models in school let them live their lives how they want when there not on the clock. If people had to be roll models 24-7 I guess this would be a perfect world. I bet there would be a lot more people out of work though.

Amazing how some people are able to rationlize anything that does not support their own views.
Not only do I applaud our school officials for not approving her application for employment, I additionally applaud their restraint in not commenting on this matter. I know I would not be able to sit quietly and allow people to shout such nonsense without revealing the truth of the matter!
upsetparent, you show such maturity yourself, threating someone you believe to be a child. Your right, those that judge usually are the worst ones. Glad your so self aware as to be able to recognize your own faults. There is a big difference between "judging others" and attempting to limit the influence certain behaviors have on impressionable minds.

little miss Abby sounds like a child herself under 21 with a grudge on Jenni this makes her pretty immature. Do you realize you are hurting the new pom squad more then Jenni. Also think I know who you are I'm sure your mother would like to know your secrets keep it up and she might find out. Those pic's were not on Jenni's site it was someone Else's and they still don't prove anything. If every teacher was accused and held accountable for a drink anyway our school system would be in trouble. What do you think they do in college and their not 21 yet then either, (while getting their teaching degree.) There isn't one person in this world that is perfect and the people that judge are usually the worst ones of all.

And that somehow makes it ok, dame21?

I hate to break it to most of you who are having this problem with underage drinking....Your kids ARE going to drink if they want to regardless if they see these pictures or not.....

Thank you m1ssAbby. I said it last week. These girls and Jenni are simply attemting to play everyone for a fool when they attempt to convince us of what an "upstanding individual" this GIRL is. I am so glad you posted those pics to prove that point. I know it is not likely but, wouldn't it be great if the Gazette were to write a follow up piece to this "controversy." Classic, simply, classic.

WOW some of you people really make me laugh! I have a few things to say about this...for one I am still trying to figure out what is the big deal about her working at hooters? can someone PLEASE tell me what is wrong with that place. Half of you who are passing judgment on the place have probably never been there. Hooters is a family resturant, and I happen to know PLENTY of familys who take their kids there!
And whoever this person is who posted pictures of her on here....i mean really? do you honestly have nothing better to do then to go steal pictures and post them to try to make her look bad? Everyone is just assuming that she got into the bars underage...did you ever think she could have been there with a parent? and to me she doesnt even look the least bit intoxicated. If parents are so worried and think that she is a poor role model and that your children are going to follow or think she is a bad example, well maybe you have taught your children nothing. Because last I checked as a parent it is your responsiblity to teach your children what you yourself consider is "right" and "wrong". Maybe if your children go out and drink it isnt because they saw a picture of jenni maybe its because of other reasons. It makes me sick to think of how stuck up some of you people are! Im glad to see that you are being a great role model on how to be judgemental!

I would like to thank Miss Roehl for (inadvertently) teaching students a very valuable lesson in the unintended, real-world consequences of publicly exhibiting one's personal life on the web.

Maybe she is at home in those pictures and those other drinkers are her parents. (Sarcasm)

chilloutpeople: I completely agree with what you are saying. And I have no problem with m1ssAbby posting the pictures. Jenni put them out there for the world to see and we're looking at them. And now I especially have a problem with her, she posts her drunken pictures almost as if she were proud of them, it is her personal choice what she posts. This is NOT a role model!

Regardless if MissAbby has a problem with Jennifer or not, she was simply bringing to the table some information "left out" when the whole story was started. Clearly, this girl is not the saint this article and some commenters (obviously her friends and/or poms girls) are making her out to be. If we're going to have a story, why not have all of it? Keep in mind, she's applying for a job being a coach/role model for easily influenced teenage girls who will look up to her and try to emulate her. She needs to clean up her act and then maybe we can look at her in this light.

I just dont think she is a fit role model for teenage girls, and I am not the one who is trying to be a role model for them.. Even without the pictures, look up wisconsin circuit court, which I'm sure administration did. It shows that she was cited for an underage drinking ticket in 2008. Even if it was dismissed like most are because they are able to go to classes for them. She was still given the ticket. And I dont think any of the other girl are applying for the position, if they are, they also are not fit for the job. This artical does not talk about other coaches. We're commenting on this artical and about Jenni being fit for a coaching job. With her saying that she is trying to be a role model. There is proof that she is not fit for the job. And they didn't exactly fire her, they never hired her in the first place.

oh its kinda hard to fire one of the best parker poms girls from the past so and some of the girls in your photos you copied are not 21 either and we all were kids once who wanted to be like or parents so think back when you were a kid and looked up to a coach and they were your role model and they were underage and drinking so think before you type next time

This is all so crazy and very political just like always. Sorry, but M1ssAbby must have a problem with Jenni...which is why she posted the pics for everyone one to see. I also thought you would need to be a "friend" to have viewing rights to things like that...hmmm some friend you turned out to be. It may not have been smart for her to post thos pics, but it wasn't smart for you to show everyone them either. Unless you were the next runner up for the job????

Missabbey, do you have something against this girl? I hope no one posts any personal pictures of you. What a dirty trick....

Yeah, I might of been more in her corner previously. However, 21 or not, posting those types of pictures on your Facebook or MySpace account is pretty stupid. Especially from someone who's around impressionable kids and seeking a particular job. I mean seriously, what does "Hey look at me I'm drunk" or "Hey look at me I'm at a cheesy bar with a drink in my hand" really say? I'm cool? It's one thing to have a scrap book of that type of stuff for memories sake, but share them with pretty much anyone is attention seeking at best.

Dancedance: you are correct. All US citizens have freedom of speech. Just like adults have the freedom to ignore kids' input on adult matters (such as this)! And, believe me dancedance, I got the memo that "you girls" stick together. Lmao! The more things change, the more they stay the same! If you only knew.....

Thank you MissAbby! I'm sure you are on to something that the administrators already were on to!

She's not 21 yet. and the pictures are clearly not from the same event.

I'm pretty sure those pictures are from her 21st birthday, but far be it from me to stop the Gazette commenters from jumping to conclusions and putting in their two cents about things that they know nothing about that do not concern them.

"I’m being a good roll model.”

Thats funny. A good role model, who drinks being underage? Goes to bars and gets served? I personally wouldnt want my child being the role model of my poms girl who does those kinds of things. And I've heard a lot of jobs have been using myspace and facebook to look up their applicants before hiring them? Maybe Parker should try that before they make their decision. She's obviously not trying to hide her underage drinking.

For example -- from Jennifer's own myspace.

What a great role model =]
HAHAHA

momof5: JohnDoe: teachers are adults. Pom pon girls are KIDS. They should have NO input on personnel issues. ..momof5 everyone can have an input its called freedom of speech !

Crazcass: If a high school student is 18, then yes, they are an adult. High school students, in general, are often times referred to as "young adults." Meaning they are expected to act the part in preparation for the real world outside of high school...

momof5.. i get told to act like an adult at school and we are we are standing up for what we believe in thats what we are taught also. maybe you just dont know what your talking about your not the one in high school who gets told this everyday. being an adult isnt about talking with the right punctuation its about being mature and we try to be mature about this we just are doing what we think is best for our girls i dont think you got the memo us girls stick together (: stay strong girls !

I think it is unfortunate the school district was unable to complete the simple hire of a assistant coach but the real issue here to me is the fact that she works at hooters. Is that really the kind of role model we want for our daughters someone who thinks its ok to use their body to make money. Is that the way we want our daughters to gain self confidence. Do we want them to think they only way they can feel good about them self is to have some guy eye them up and down? Have some self respect!

egalindo:I absolutely feel men should be held to the same standards as women if not higher. Id say any teacher or coach hired by the district working with our kids should be held to higher ethical standards male or female.

This is a more extreme example but would you want a teacher hired who goes to screaming memes or some strip joint? Its the same basis as hooters attracting customers with women's bodies.

Jenni, I rily hope you get the job! You had it in the first place you should have it again. Honestly I wouldn't know of anyone who would want to go out for a job that they know the people that they will be "working" with don't what them there. All the girls want you Jenni thats all that matter. If they do end up getting a new coach they won't think that she/he is better. They will always see you as there coach!

There has to be more to this than is being reported. Of course, the school can't say because they would be sued. The volunteer won't say because it would ruin her Hooters argument. Get over it and move on. Kids don't get to hire the coach, the school does.

"more diva'riffic than Brett Favre".....thank you......I'll be laughing all day.

Sure, in this economy we shouldn't be teaching girls that having a service job and coaching at the same time are acceptable. We should instead be teaching them to stick to principle and remain otherwise unemployed in order to work for the school district and make a couple grand.

I am not sure what is more disappointing about this issue, that a qualified candidate was not hired or the AD and Prinicpal do not have the courage to tell Ms Roehl the real reason she was not hired. She turned in an incomplete application package and instead of asking for the missing data, the job gets reposted. Is that written policy and is that information provided to candidates? All the talk from Administration Officials reported in the story sounds like they "got caught speeding" and are trying to get out of the situation.

did anyone else go to the parker jr varsity game friday night and see what an excellent job the squad did during half time and before the varsity game? jenny should be proud of the routines and dances she has had a chance to teach them. i hope she will be able to continue to coach them. AGAIN GIRLS U WERE EXCELLENT!

IMO as well, momo: you are spot on!

Poms_Love_Crazy: stop pretending to be a parent. You already admitted you were on poms.

Crazcass: If a high school student is 18, then yes, they are an adult. High school students, in general, are often times referred to as "young adults." Meaning they are expected to act the part in preparation for the real world outside of high school.
.
Coming on here and saying crap like "we don't care. She's not the coach we want. We won't be nice to the new one. It isn't the coach we wanted" is NOT adultlike or mature. Shows exactly how much of a KID they still are.
.
I believe that there is MORE to this than Hooters. Maybe Jenni is just the scapegoat for "I'm sick of the poms drama....again" mantra going off in Dr. Schroeder's head. 12+ coaches in 9 years, parents who THINK they should have a voice in personnel matters and the dynamics of a team, KIDS who feel they are equal to adults but are more diva'riffic than Brett Favre. Hooters is the least of his worries. IMO!

Ok. If this nation can live with an adulterous President Clinton, then this is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Kids/students are exposed to more adulterated subjects on TV, radio, and movies than ever before. I would not be concerned about an effective coach who works at a restaurant for a living. I would imagine that this coach/volunteer is not trying to convert or influence these young girls into being Hooter girls.

Well, hopefully this is not an excuse and was an omission of process that will allow her to compete fairly against other candidates.

if this woman has the qualifications to teach and the leadership abilities needed, she should not be discriminated against no matter where she works presently. if shes got the qualifications, she should be given a chance.

momo: If high school students are 'just kids', then someone should tell the schools to stop telling them their adults. Those "kids" are at the point in their lives where they will have to start making their own choices WITH the help of their parents.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.....

this is discrimination,and she should file a lawsuit,its wrong and everyone knows it.so the girls shouldnt have a say on who their pom coach is?well i think thats ridiculous.

Schroeder is a very pretentious person I wouldn't put it past his judgement.

The parents of the girls she is coaching should have a say in who coaches thier kids. Iam one of them and a like her. She has been great with the kids all summer. She is not promoting Hooters while she is with the girls. Would you waste the last 2 years helping coach for free if you were Not interested in the job. The job only pays $1,900 yearly. Do you need a degree for that?

just got home from seeing the jr. varsity pom squad perform at tonights game. they were excellent. jenny should be proud of what she has taught these girls. and i hope she will be able to continue to teach them the rountines and dances for the squad.

So, are we going to penalize male coaches and teachers for patronizing Hooters? Or is it just females that carry the burden of upholding social values and being positive role models? Men can go freely to these places, many parents permit their boys to wear Hooters shirts to school flaunting them in front of high school girls, and yet the woman who works there is somehow unacceptable? Hooters wouldn't be in business in this community if the males in Janesville did not patronize that "restaurant" so please stop being hypocrites. Why do you see the speck that is in your sister’s eye, but do not notice the Hooters that are in your own eye?

Jenni is a nice girl and a hard worker, but to be frank she's hardly more mature than the children she coaches...not a bad thing just a fact. They need a leader and a role model, they have enough friends.

Actually JohnDoe, teachers do not have a say on who their principal is going to be. They give their input on what characteristics and qualifications they would like their principal to have, but then the rest is totally out of their hands!

NO! It was SARCASM. Meaning, I don't think teachers should have a say about who their boss is either. But they apparently do.

JohnDoe: teachers are adults. Pom pon girls are KIDS. They should have NO input on personnel issues.

Do you think students should be able to say who their teachers are? Ridiculous!

When will this town get it's head out of the sand.

If the teachers can have a say on who their principal should be...shouldn't the pom squad have a say on who their coach should be?

Hope the district sticks to their guns on this one. That IS a pretty lame excuse. *sigh* guess I'll go get my handbasket ready....
