Must be more to the story. If not, what kind of administrator would fire a 10 year substitute teacher because some whining kid brought this to them? They were either looking to fire the guy or there is a much bigger issue here.
Shockingly, GP didn’t mention the school’s take on this.
According to the school board..
“we would not recommend that a substitute teacher be restricted from a school simply based on a single isolated incident such as this. Several factors, including prior concerns at other schools, would be taken into consideration before making a recommendation.”We always try to protect the privacy of everyone involved during these matters. However, there has been an omission of important facts in this case. The truth is, we recommended that this substitute not return due to a pattern of inappropriate conduct.
The employee was previously restricted from another Parkway high school for recording video of students without their permission in class. In addition, he violated appropriate teacher-to-student interactions by sharing his personal contact information with students at South High. Based on previous concerns from staff and students, the principal of South High addressed these matters with the substitute teacher. The substitute was coached and reminded of his professional obligations.
Unfortunately, he did not maintain the high standards we expect of adults who work with our children.”
Good to see Hoft upholding his usual journalistic standards.
Same thing happened to me yesterday fired asa sub for telling black students they should be like black heroes
