In life there is no one size fits all answer. And that is exactly what most public education curriculums failingly try to implement. Any group trying to put together a successful educational system should be required to read, and understand “The Bell Curve”. Till then they’re just pissing in the wind. Not to mention pissing away taxpayer dollars, and countless thousands of children’s futures...
She should contact her union repCan I get 50% pay for not showing up to work?
Florida teacher says she was fired for giving zeros to students who didn't turn in work
Teacher is new and on probation. So what they do is fire anyone who wants to teach and then tenure the morons.But....let's not give teachers any tenure/union protection from such insanity, right?
From looking at the note she left her students on the white board this teacher doesn’t sound like she’s got all her screws tight. Either that or she lacks maturity and sophistication. She had only been at the school for a few months and it sounds like she wasn’t cutting it. I’m not seeing the 0% thing as a reason for the firing except by her proclaimation. The schools letter said that there is no penalty for giving zeros and made a vague statement about her relationship with the students. Like with most things, I believe there is more to this story.Can I get 50% pay for not showing up to work?

Florida teacher says she was fired for refusing to give students partial credit on an assignment they didn't turn in
A teacher in Port St. Lucie, Fla., says that she was fired for refusing to give students partial credit for work they did not turn in to her.
According to WCMH, after many students didn’t hand in an Explorer Notebook project, Diana Tirado, an eighth-grade history teacher at West Gate, gave them a zero for a grade. According to Tirado, she was let go because of the school’s no-zero policy, allegedly included in the student and parent handbook.
“But what if they don’t turn it in, and they say we’ll give them a 50. Oh no we don’t,” Tirado told WCMH.
Tirado, who was still in her probationary period, was terminated from her position on Sept. 14. However, no clause was mentioned in the letter from the principal.
According to WFTV, a chief information officer for West Gate said in a statement: “There is no district or individual school policy prohibiting teachers from recording a grade of zero for work not turned in. The district’s uniform grading system utilizes letter grades A-F, numerical grades 100 to zero and grade point averages from four to zero.”
Tirado, who says, “Teaching is a calling for me,” claims she was told never to give a student a zero.
“I’m so upset, because we have a nation of kids that are expecting to get paid and live their life just for showing up, and it’s not real,” the teacher said.
On Tirado’s last day, she wrote a message on her whiteboard to the students and posted it on Facebook...

Nice stretch and deflection.You mean welcome to the RW world where teachers have no tenure/no union to protect them from such idiocy.
