High school English teacher, Natalie Munroe, caused some controversy when some found out about her blog criticizing her students. In her blog she calls the students out of control and unmotivated in profane ways.
Though Munroe did not use her full name, identify of her students, or school in the blog, these actions lead to her suspension from Central Bucks East High School. Most people have praised her for being honest, but higher authorities at the school decided to reprimand her.
Teachers are in a position of leadership in society. They are held to a higher pedestal than your average 9 to 5 workers. By downgrading her students in public Natalie Munroe made herself an ineffective leader to her employers.
Leaders supposed to inspire and motivate people. How could students go to her classroom knowing she was making fun of them in public? How could they respect someone that doesn’t respect them? Though Munroe has a right to her opinion the school has a right to do what is necessary to keep the integrity of the school.
