First reaction is "there has to be more to this story"...but there's not. That's it. That's all it takes these days.
This happened just up the road from me (20 mins away).
This pisses me off. Read it if you haven't:
"On Jan 5th, a student tweeted "close school tammarow PLEASE". But as you can see, tomorrow was misspelled and Katie Nash, who was the Web Services Coordinator of FCPS, responded to the student with, "but, how would you learn how to spell 'tomorrow' .""
That's it???! That is all the Web Services Coordinator said?? And she was FIRED? Are you freaking kidding me?
I'm not old, but I'm not young - whatever, I'm 48. When I went to HS, spankings were already gone, but a teacher could tell you you were failing, coming up short, where your deficiencies were and do so in front of a class full of kids. What this woman said in this tweet was true and had a sense of humor to it and I would fully expect a teacher in a class room had this been written in front of the students to use a similar sense of sarcasm in providing an answer to the student in front of his/her peers.
This is ridiculous.
How many more days till Trump begins to end this bullshit PC world we live in?
How do you not think for a minute that maybe this child accidentally hit the wrong key and left it at that since it's just twitter?
So you think mocking children is a good thing? And that when King Trump takes office in a few days this type of behavior will be acceptable?
One wearies, or I weary anyway, of the endless news stories reporting that children can barely read or not at all, can’t add, and don’t know anything.
“Detroit Public Schools: 93% Not Proficient in Reading; 96% Not Proficient in Math” Nationwide, only 33 percent of public-school eighth graders scored proficient or better in reading….”
This in the United States? The exceptional nation, shining city on a hill, guiding light of mankind? On and on it goes: the national toleration of the stupid, the inferior, the lazy, and the uncultivated. More specifically, toleration of substandard teachers, substandard approaches to schooling, and intellectually shiftless people bitching about everything being somebody else’s fault.
If some kids, simply lack the mental horsepower, it would make sense to separate them, teach them what they are able to learn–and not let them drag everybody else down.* Ask how many hours a week the parents, or parent, of those failing kids in Detroit spend with them, teaching them to read?* If the parents can’t read, they might try learning with their kids
In too many cases we have protected, unionized mediocrity at best and often way worse who, lacking* the intelligence, education, or culture to value actual learning, instead play psychobabble feel-good games. A country deserves what it tolerates and in this case it seems to tolerate firing a teacher for doing her job rather than playing those same psychobabble feel-good games.
Yeah we should look ashamed !
As with the majority of this board, those who commented on the article, and those who syndicated the article and wrote about it, yeah, I'm pretty damned comfortable with my position. This woman did nothing wrong. In fact, her reply wasn't even in the least offensive.
Comments from CBS local about the woman's comments (universal condemnation of the school's decision): http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2017/01/14/frederick-county-public-schools-employee-fired-for-tweet/
But thank you for coming to the thread and admitting that you're one of today's *****-*** snowflakes yourself (not that we needed that one spelled out for us). As the board's never ending schizophrenic victim (today I'm African American, yesterday I was a Jew with Aspergers, tomorrow I'll play the Native American card), no one here in the least is surprised that you experience butt hurt over this woman's witty reply to this student.
PS...the student nor her family complained about the incident. From the article above: "The student later wrote that he didn’t mind Nash’s original reply and didn’t take it personally."
Seems your *** is chaffed far more than the supposed victim's.
And of course carry on mocking my ethnicity. I never have engaged in victimhood in any form in my life
Those are a whole bunch of ASSumptions for just one CONservative dumbass. So you think mocking children is a good thing? And that when King Trump takes office in a few days this type of behavior will be acceptable?
Some of you Trump Chumps© are so loathsome and ignorant it defies any attempt at giving you the benefit of the doubt.
How do you not think for a minute that maybe this child accidentally hit the wrong key and left it at that since it's just twitter?
No, like the person from the school we immediately come to a conclusion and decide what we must do is mock and humiliate publicly .
She deserved getting fired, and as a bonus a kick in the *** on the way out.
As far as your king, he's going to have his hands full just avoiding impeachment in the next few months.
I had a principal swat me once. It was that or he called my mom. I picked the big wooden paddle with holes in it hanging on his wall behind his desk. It was much less painful than the alternative.
Oh! the kid said he liked it.......what was I thinking? Carry on turd.
And of course carry on mocking my ethnicity. I never have engaged in victimhood in any form in my life, but keep peddling your strawman you racist POS.
