I was advised (by lawyer) to check 'Yes' on any application question that asked, "Have you ever resigned . . . while under suspicion (by any school system??) of having engaged in . . . unethical behavior?"

What happened was, I was pressured by my school system to resign mid-year after a group of students rushed me at the classroom door -- and I grabbed a kid in trying to make order out of chaos. Apparently, parents complained.

I resigned per advice from lawyer. Also, he advised me to check 'Yes' on the above question, because if someone made a case of it later, (that) I could end up losing my license if found that I SHOULD have checked 'Yes'.

Nothing was ever sent to GAPSC. Any one have a similar situation happen to them? Do you think I did the right thing? Is there hope? Thanks.
