I found out why. Apparently this person used inappropriate language (repeatedly) in her classroom. Although I understand this rationale to some extent, I'm a little concerned about why it was allowed to get to the point of no return before it was adressed. Makes me a tad uneasy.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You mean that teachers would be fired without being given an opportunity to address the concerns that lead to the end of their employment?
Sorry. Bitter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it was allowed to get to the point of no return before it was adressed.
They never warned her she was out of line?

No, I hear you. I'm really kind of baffled. She taught mainly 6th grade, which doubtless contributed to the severity of the response...but I have to wonder why there wasn't a probationary period. All I can think is that maybe no one complained until it had gotten so bad that the admin felt that they couldn't salvage the situation with the parents. Still, really unsettling.
ETA:
They never warned her she was out of line?I don't know. It's all shrouded in confedentiality.

Brenda, again, I don't know the specifics. I do know that my department head (who I adore and trust completely) said that the "list" she saw (where this list came from I have no idea) was pretty significant.

move out and draw fire
You mean school administrators could possibly be asshats?
Sorry. Bitter.
OMGAIMEETACKLEHUG!!!! I haven't seen you since the move!
I'm on my own in this job for the next couple weeks. The guy who was supposed to hold my hand is out of town.
Because his daughter and her roommate came home to interrupt a robbery in progress. The bad guys shot the roommate in the head, and slashed his daughter's throat.
Both women seem like they are going to make full recoveries, thankfully.
He said on the phone, "I'm really sorry I can't be there to walk you around." DUDE!!! I am really sorry I can't be there to make you people chicken soup, and then kick the asses of the people who did this to your family.

I cannot recommend any sports bra more than the DKNY ones--Plei has come over to this side. Honestly, it's standard form, underwire, and has me looking as good as my Wacoal non-sports bras.
Dude. So true. Best under t-shirt bra in history. I need a black one now.

Damn, Raq. That's insane. I'm glad it sounds like they're going to recover, but damn.
