The article, Teacher Defends Insulting Blog Posts About Her Students: 'I Hear the Trash Company is Hiring By Andrea Canning, is based on a teacher that used the internet to talk meanly about her students. She wrote in her blog that her students were “complete and utter jerks, in all ways”. When her blog was found by her employers she was suspended with pay until they figure out what to do. Although all of this happened she is not considering a different career choice, and she believes that she did nothing wrong. She thinks that saying “I hate your kid” was taken completely out of context. Her lawyer’s defense is that her first amendment is being violated.
I agree with the school, what this teacher did was totally wrong. As a teacher, going into class you should know that not every student you have will be perfect. Her being suspended with pay is wrong, she talked about her students in a very negative way, and now she’s getting paid for it. My 7th grade teacher came back one day after being absent and he heard stories from the teacher across the hall that we were “miss behaving”. Well he took that to the extreme and took a bat out of his closet that he had in there and wailed it on the empty desk in front of him. He was out of control but because it was so close to the end of the school year and he was retiring that year, the school gave him a paid suspension and he came back three days later. The whole point of that was, I don’t think schools take teachers actions seriously enough, and to hear the kind of treatment that this woman is given, shows me that they are starting to care.
I plan on taking this information into the future with me, so I can remember what consequences you get when you don’t pay attention to what you post online. Sometimes life may give you tough challenges but posting your opinion of those challenges in such a way that it offends people online, just isn’t the correct way to go. I don’t care how tough it is, you shouldn’t say you hate anyone especially the people you signed up to see everyday. It was your own fault that you were there so don’t blame the students. You receive consequences for your actions, and that was one action that is in desperate need of a consequence.
