[SCA-AE] ANNOUNCE: Background Check FAQ

[littlefallsteacher at frontiernet.net]

ULP - but what about those of us that are teachers, and are the ones  
bringing in the SCA - to do this with us, because we ARE SCA?  Or we  
go into someplace else in the school and are running an SCA demo on  
our own, because we are SCA and we are there?
I do it all the time - go to a different classroom, and teach  
something about history - and oh, yeah, that's because I am in the  
SCA, and what we are, and here is why I enjoy it.
And there often, especially after school, no other adult there but me.  
  And I know of someone else in our group, the next school district  
over, who had so much interest he started a club - he was the only  
adult there.
So if I run the demo, or AM the demo, I need to be warranted?
Something seems really, really strange here.
I know I am dealing with my elderly mother who can warp my mind as she  
loses hers, but this seems really ridiculously complicated.  HOw many  
of us have to agree to background checks, which is letting someone  
have our personal info, and in which we have to agree to let them look  
at our lives - and HOPE they honor the agreement to only look at part  
of it, and nver have it stolen from them or let it out?   Sorry, too  
much is passed around out there, or gets stolen from such services,  
for me to feel comfortable with this.  I can see the necessity of the  
SCA doing a CYA on one on one activities, but on a DEMO ?  Or other  
school activities?

And

Demos are more of a gray area.  If we are attending a demo at a school,
the teacher is in charge of the children and we are guests.
