Apparently she's been suspended...
...WITH PAY, which basically means she's on a taxpayer-funded vacation.
Yeah, that'll teach 'er! |

@Ozmose and MeGrendel
Grendel is right, (never thought I'd get a chance to say THAT) if he had gotten his information from the bottom of a bag of kittens, if the information is correct, he is still right. It may be the case that the kid should not have had his phone out in class, but he is right regardless. |

@TURDBURGLAR: How in Hell did you graduate? Your gross inability to spell makes my head ache. I don't even care whether your opinion is right or wrong. Just... stop. |

Ozmose-"the fact that the argument is invalid, because the entitled little ****stain shouldn't be playing with his toys in class."
So, because YOU don't like how the evidence was obtained, you beleive the argument is invalid? How convenient.
Cell phones are a fact of life, and as long as they are not a disruption it's not an issue. In this case, WITHOUT the usage of the phone as a recording device, this Indoctrinator would still be in the classroom, shouting down and belittling anyone who didn't bow to her narrow, biased view and attempting to dictate what constitutes 'facts'. (of course, you're all for that).
Any person should realize that any public forum is open to recording. |

@8bitzero...Yes, America has always been a place with feedom of speach. But for some reason, constutional rights do not apply on school grounds. |

@MeGrendel
You aren't very bright are you.
I wasn't directing my post at any "messenger".
When I was in school, if someone brought a toy into class, the teacher took it away. End of story.
I was simply impressing the fact that the argument is invalid, because the entitled little ****stain shouldn't be playing with his toys in class.
So remind me again how taking neither side of an argument = "Drinking the Kool-aid"? |

@MeGrendel: I always appreciated the profs who were tough but fair. Higher standards is something being tossed by the way side in education these days. |

Yes, don't argue the content, attack the messenger. That is the sign of someone who is UNABLE to argue the content.

Well, I listened to the whole thing.
I live in the St. Louis area. I am surrounded by failing schools and one of my best friends teaches in one of them. Here, we have a student who is inquisitive, thinks for himself, can defend his position, and knows at least a little bit about the Constitution. We could use a lot more students like him.
And we have a teacher who takes that potentially bright young mind and does all she can to crush it.
This was depressing. |

PinkRhoid-"I didn't know there was such a thing left, teachers who actually take pride in teaching and want ti instill knowledge."
Actually, there are, and I would even go so far as to say they are in the majority.
It's just the idiot 'I got me a public job for life' and the Unions that defend them that I have a problem with.
My wife is a teacher (Nursing Instructor). She's the teacher that all incoming students hear horror stories about. Who they dread. But by the time they pass her classes they have a healthy respect for her and what she's taught them. And most contact her after they have jobs telling her, "I saved a life because YOU held me to a higher standard." |

@IrishJesus
Like I said, I haven't experienced this within my own public education system. Although it's not as uncommon as it should be, it's still not the status quot. |

leesah-"due to the liberal love of unions, this hideous excuse for a teacher has been suspended...With pay."
That's nothing.
We had a local case here where a teach (female) was convicted of statutory rape of a student and continued to be payd while in prison for THREE YEARS (of a 10 years sentance) before they could figure out how to stop her paychecks.
The Union fought it all the way. Their stance? The teacher had the legal 'right' to continue to receive her pay until such time as she could appeal her firing (which, of course, she could not do until she was RELEASED). It took a new law by the state legislature to stop her paychecks (but not until she'd been paid $164,000 while in prison). |
