Pennsylvania Teacher Suspended for Telling Truth About Kids Nowadays

Posted on | February 16, 2011 | 6 Comments

They ought to pin a medal on her:

Teacher Natalie Munroe makes no excuses for writing blog posts about her students which include statements like, “A complete and utter jerk in all ways,” “although academically okay your child has no other redeeming qualities,” “I hear the trash company is hiring,” and “There’s no other way to say this, I hate your kid.” . . .
The 30-year-old teacher used the name “Natalie M” and never identified the name of the school in the posts that also lashed out against other teachers and administrators. But once word got out it was her, the school suspended Munroe with pay.
In one posting on her blog she called her students, “out of contol,” and “rude, lazy, disengaged whiners.” . . .
In another, she created a list of comments teachers could use on report cards to describe students, like “rat-like,” “dresses like a streetwalker,” and “frightfully dim.”

So now we have finally learned what a public school teacher has to do to get fired: Tell the truth.

Her blog is Natalie’s Handbasket.

    Isn’t this why they have tenure, so that they can have freedom of speech?

    Excellent question, for that matter if she is tenured how do they get around that? They’ve got child predators in isolation centers for years in NYC because they can’t fire them.
    On a high note I’m liking what’s happening in Wisconsin, if they can crush public employee unions there we just might be able to get control of our government back.

    I work in an extremely liberal media industry so I don’t use my legal name, but rather my Hindu name.

    She didn’t say anything most teachers and staff don’t say to each other in their break room or after school to each other.

    People just don’t to hear the truth that their little angels are a bunch of rude, lazy brats!
