A TV School (Janet's headache)

This story starts here.

Janet had a headache. The West Trust had thrown a fit over the recasting of the teachers. Evidently, their authority superceded Ms. West's authority as headmistress. They were not going to allow her to cast any teachers they had not approved. All the current faculty would remain and any new faculty would have to go through the ordinary Sonrise hiring process. They had scrapped all of her teachers. Janet was under new directions from Daniella. The new emphasis was on the teacher's peccadillos, oddities, and unusual talents. Instead of just finding attractive, sympathetic teachers, she had to find pecuiliar teachers.
Janet culled through the resumes for the seventh or eighth time, and then decided to see if any new applications had popped up. An intriguing pair of applications from a married couple caught her attention. They had gone to good schools, but neither had a degree in education. Sonrise would like that. Working for the Reinvent Foundation, they had entered the education business through the back door. The West Trust had granted money to Reinvent. Janet hurriedly scrolled down to the personal information--wow, five kids. How much do you want to bet that they've applied to be on the show? Sure enough, a quick scan through the clog of new children's applications brought up five little Thistles. Daniella would like this. Big families were hot. She put them on the list for a call-in.
