Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan has a posting for "Varsity Figure Skating Coach." 

http://www.applitrack.com/WISD/onlineapp/jobpostings/view.asp?district=1192&category=Athletics%2FActivities

The job description and duties are very strange...
-"Add, subtract, and multiply and divide in all units of measure, using whole numbers, common fractions, and decimals"
- Nowhere does it mention figure skating except in the title, roflol!  I guess they didn't know what to write.

This is my favorite part:

"While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently required to walk and stand.  Occasionally the employee will sit and or run.  The employee will frequently bend or twist at the trunk while performing the duties of this job.  The employee will frequently squat, stoop, kneel, reach above the head, reach forward and repeat the same hand motion many times while performing the duties of the job. "

Yep, that's figure skating: bend, twist, squat, reach, kneel, sit, run...
The pay's much lower than the other job postings for coaches.  I wonder why?
