This teacher's Facebook status went something along the lines of - Today would be a great day to go to the beach. I hate all my students, they are the devil's spawn.- when somebody asked about the kids getting washed out to sea she replied - I wouldn't throw her a lifevest.- She tries to defend herself by saying she isn't friended with any students and it was her personal life, she was only venting after a bad day.<br /><br /><br />I agree with you Jake. I was disgusted by her, and she does not deserve to be a teacher. Even if your day is stressful or the students are being particularly rotten, implying you wish for their death is just unbelievable. Especially when neighboring districts are still in mourning from the tragedy. If you want to get your blood pressure high like Jake and I, check out clips from the episode below.<br /><br /><br />http://www.andersoncooper.com/2012/03/05/did-a-teachers-facebook-status-warrant-job-termination/Ryan.Nyczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058758301186413409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931237755454946077.post-14352465221321379662012-03-07T17:06:59.502-08:002012-03-07T17:06:59.502-08:00I honestly don't think you should even have to...I honestly don't think you should even have to apologize for possibly offending anyone with this rant because it should in no way offend someone who cares about his or her job and students. I, too, find it ridiculous that people like this are even in the position to be in charge of children and in the position of a kind of role model to these impressionable students.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340360664851422923noreply@blogger.com
