Yes, Truth hurts. I did my Student Teaching in a very marginal area, second graders. I had 22 boys and 8 girls, and I was 20 or something. I KNEW those kids were dealing drugs on the playground!

You cannot mention that on FB?? That seems so wrong.

Because O'Brien was tenured, the case was sent to an administrative law judge. O'Brien argued that her comments were not racist, but were based her frustration with bad behavior by her students, including stealing and hitting one another.

Sounds reasonable to me.

However, the judge rejected her arguments, calling her comments "intemperate and vituperative" and saying they made cooperation with parents impossible. She was fired immediately after the ruling.

Oh please. Why the 50 cent words by the judge? Sheesh. Just say you wanted to go after her because she stuck an open societal nerve, and it ticked you off.

Teachers who tell the truth about conditions in the public schools are extremely rare. Only when you get to know teachers and they trust you do they tell the truth. Most public schools are completely dysfunctional. Teachers have told me amazing stories about how bad public schools are. Many won’t work at certain schools and call in sick as often as they can. In school they look the other way and don’t try to discipline students. They know they can get in trouble only if they try to keep order. They regard their schools as a joke and the administrators, principals and union parasites as scum of the earth.

Well, this judge is completely wrong.

But, I must say, you’d think people would think twice about posting what they think on Facebook.

If you SAY something like this, and get reported, it’s deniable. But not if it’s right up there on the internet for everyone to see and rat on.

Nothing will gst you in trouble faster than telling the truth.

A member here I know very well can tell you the damndest stories.

From her profile: My name is flib because I am a FORMER liberal. I’m an army wife, a mom, and I used to teach history
Yeah, I knew her in her 'libtard' days...and then when she saw the light. 180 degrees!
She used to do homeschooling, and her friends & neighbors all started bringing their kids to her because hers did quite well academically,
AND they werent being indoctrinated!

Elizabeth O’Brien??? And she thought she could tell the truth with a name like THAT??? On the other hand, if her name were Cleopatra X Limpopo Jackson, she’d still have a job/s;)
