Saint Joseph's Convent, an elite elementary and high school a short drive from the Christian college - where parents who drive late-model BMWs shell out $7,400 a semester to get their daughters educated - had hired Karr for a two- or three- week trial period earlier this year as a grade-school English teacher.
