Sorry, that's beyond stupid. He's got a serious judgment problem if he didn't realize that would get him in trouble.
He's outta there.

Unless he's done this sort of thing before I would have given him a second chance, after he apologized to the class and had a day or two off unpaid.

Maybe he has a record as being a well respected teacher and he went temporarily insane?

What school district can afford to loose good teachers?


But I have to agree, teachers who have judgment issues are a threat to kids. That's for sure.

I am interested in knowing more about the situation. Did one of the students ask what the acronym meant? What were they discussing? My middle-school students have asked me some REALLY inappropriate things over the past 5 years, not to try to get me in trouble, but because they wanted to know and trusted me not to embarrass them because they asked.

Now, obviously...a good teacher needs to know when you say, "I'm sorry, guys, its not school appropriate." and when to answer...but I'm not sure if this teacher thought he was explaining the acronym because it was relevant or someone asked...or if he really just decided it would be fun to use the "n-word" in his classroom.

17 years of teaching is a lot of experience to piss away because he showed poor judgement once. Especially since he has already been moved to working with adult learners.

I once flubbed after saying the word "micro-organism" 800 times in one day and excitedly told my last period class that we would be doing "a cool investigation of micro-orgasms during lab." Luckily, my students laughed and I quickly apologized and corrected myself. I explained to my principal what had happened in case any parents called, and my principal laughed. Teachers make mistakes.

Now, I understand that what this teacher did is a lot different from a verbal slip-up...but I'm not sure it merits his dismissal - I'd need to know more about what was going on in the classroom, and what his track-record was as a teacher first.

I agree with you Jillian. He should have been fired!!
