The way Marie Jarry sees it, she made a mistake, but a mistake many people make. What the Southington, Connecticut elementary school teacher did was call out sick when she really wasn't. As a result she believes she was coerced into resigning from her job. Teaching school is something Jarry loves almost more than anything and she wants her job back. But, because the teacher's real purpose in faking her sick absence was to appear on a contest run on the Howard Stern Show, the school system won't let her back on the payroll. Thus, she's suing to get her job back.

Beverly Plamp says she was inappropriately touched by her teacher back in 2006.  She is suing for damages from the Mitchell School District of Mitchell, South Dakota.  She wants to have some emails used as evidence in her case.  However, her name and the incident involving her are not mentioned in the emails.  The school district wants to have the emails sealed.  Plamp's claim is that, even if they don't pertain to her case, they do draw a picture of a school district with rather lax and offensive attitudes towards sex - attitudes which could translate to a favorable verdict for Ms. Plamp.
