Teacher Reinstated After Blogging That Students are 'Whiners'

No doubt. They're high school students.
But can anyone be that honest and remain employed? Natalie Munroe has defied the odds. Reuters news service reports the English teacher will return to face a fresh crop of rude, disengaged, lazy whiners in the fall. She might just select different adjectives.
Munroe was suspended with pay earlier this year after her comments ("My students are of out of control," she blogged) turned parents into a chorus of scorched cats.
Although school officials have reinstated her, Reuters reports Munroe has misgivings about returning to Central Bucks East High School on Aug. 30. She had to be escorted from the building in February.
"She wants to be an effective teacher and does not know what environment she will be going back to," her lawyer, Steven Rovner, tells Reuters.
Meanwhile, Munroe is blogging again. This time, Reuters reports, she's outlining the sequence of events that led to her return. She whines (uh, make that complains) she had to contact the district five times about returning and portrays the phone calls as unpleasant.
Not that it will keep her out of the classroom. She would just prefer a different high school.
"She's a teacher and will be glad to be going back to the classroom," Rovner tells Reuters. "As a teacher, she is like a celebrity now. Emotions would not be as high if she went to another school."

Tad Jackson said...Ready for a brave, new, and wildly unique teacher’s journal? One that’s deeply thoughtful, literate, and downright funny? Then enjoy A Dixie Diary, at www.adixiediary.com.
The response from readers all over the world has been astonishing. Actually debuting during the February fury of the Natalie Munroe business, this unique online journal shows a different look at what happens in the schoolhouse by a very rookie teacher who loves his work and his students, but he expresses his thoughts and observations in a hugely different way than Mrs. Munroe. Sure, there are some intense student-teacher moments, even some choice words, too, but mostly it’s world-class hilarious and heartwarming … like reading a good book.
It’s the look at a teacher’s madcap classroom world we’ve been waiting for. It’s simply mesmerizing.

Kesha of wegotkidz.com said...What bothers me is that parents don't hold their children accountable. They would prefer to get mad at someone venting their frustrations instead of actually getting to the route of the issue.
