Fired! blog presents: You did WHAT???
Mar 25th
Welcome to our next installment of “You did WHAT???” where we discuss the latest news in the world of stupidity that leads to people being fired.
Stupidity is abound today more than ever. And with civil employees non the less. Teachers, cops, and firefighters seem to be getting into more trouble than anyone else these days. Are they under greater scrutiny? Or is the government
hiring the lows of the bunch?
A Texas kindergarten teacher has been fired after she encouraged students to punch a 5-year old in the face during a road trip to Chuckie Cheese. Allegedly, the teacher forced the boy to stand near the door of the van that was transporting the children and had each student punch the boy in the face as they boarded the van. The teacher’s excuse? This is a problem child who is normally the bully and beats up on the other kids.
Well…great parenting there, teach…I’ll make sure to remember that you fix violence with more violence. I’m sure a 5-year old will understand the point that you’re trying to bring across by having every classmate punch him in the face… Good thing your career as an educator is all but over… just remember for the future: starting a student fight club in your classroom will get you fired!
Staying with the teacher theme, a Florida high school teacher has been fired for a prolonged verbal altercation with a student, during which the two exchanged loads of profanity and other inappropriate verbiage. Plenty of teachers get into arguments with their students, the difference here, however, is that Ms. Cydney Abrams was a special-ed teacher that should be used to being sensitive to her student’s psyche. The children were smart enough to record the outbreak on a mp3 cellphone and play the recording for school authorities.
Education is not whether you and your students see eye to eye, my dear. If your student is being difficult, kick him out of class, send him to the principle’s office, detention, whatever… There’s NOTHING that gives you the right to yell profanities at any child, let alone a special-ed kid…in case you didn’t know this before, screaming profanity and making demeaning comments at your students will get you fired!
Finally, a firefighter in Florida has been fired for spying on a 19-year old intern in the shower. The 36-year old Carlos Alberto Marti was placed on administrative leave without pay and charged with misdemeanor voyeurism.
Is being a peeping tom a crime? it is when you get caught! or when you do it at work! Hey Carlos, is there not enough out there on the internet for you that you have to climb the ceiling of your fire station to spy on a girl in a shower? Come on, really? I’m sure that it’s not that hard for a mid-30’s fireman to get laid these days…oh wait, you’re not a firefighter anymore…well good luck to you getting laid while unemployed…and yes, voyeurism will get you fired!
Denver school employee fired for duct-taping student
Oct 28th
What would you do if your first-grader came home to tell you that his mouth and hands were duct-taped in school as punished for disrupting class? I’m sure it would be more than just insulting, as the case with yesterday’s poster. But this horror story is exactly the situation in which Ashlye Tenner finds herself today. Her son, Joshua, was said to be disturbing class, and was sent to the principle’s office by his first grade teacher. The principle was out to lunch when Joshua arrived, however the secretary, Jennifer Carter, was there to promptly greet Joshua with duct tape. According to news reports, the school principle discovered the duct-taped Joshua upon returning to lunch, removed the duct tape, and apologized to him. 
Jennifer Carter has been arrested by the police and charged with misdemeanor child abuse and false imprisonment. Needless to say, she has been fired from the school, which said in a statement, “Based on the evidence confirmed at Read the rest of this entry »
Lesson Taught
Oct 27th
I had been working off and on for three years as a sub in the third-largest school district in the state. A couple of months ago, I put a video on YouTube where I told students to get their work done and graduate. A lot of students left vulgar and stupid comments, which i ignored. 
One day at the end of 6th period at one of the high schools, a teacher told me I was wanted at the office. When I went in there, the principal had a printout of the YouTube comments and told me he did not like them. He told me that my services would be no longer needed at that school and that he had requested that the school board take me off the sub list. He then had security escort me out of the building while another teacher covered what was supposed to be my 7th period class. I met with the HR people at the school board office and they told me that it was unprofessional for a school board employee to allow that kind of language on the Internet. I told them that it had nothing to do with my classroom performance, as I was a good sub, but they were so stubborn and hard-headed that they would not listen to me. I tried to appeal a few weeks later, and the HR director kicked me out of his office. My job was to fill in f Read the rest of this entry »
