Clearly written by a lawyer.



I'm sure these teachers are great people, but great people do make mistakes. Their over reaction is now costing someone their career after so much hard work and sacrifice. Why are we now to assume that there is more to the story than what has already been reported? As long as we are reading between the lines maybe we could conclude that she was not even drinking alcohol in the picture. Maybe it was just a sign of school spirit since as already be reported the Millersville mascot is a "marauder pirate".

I was a teacher for a few years and I know that by this time of year they are all just trying their best to finish the year well and still hold on to their sanity. I can't imagine having to deal with something like this. I would venture a bet that these teachers are wishing they hadn't handed the issue over to the University since it seems to be out of their hands now but they are being dragged back into it.

Nope. She's still the town's self-appointed moral compass, and the same people are running the politburo 13 years later. They still believe they were right... or at least in charge... and they only gave up at $85k because a jury would have given us the town after they heard the part where the police made out like we were going to... have something happen to us in the back of the station.

MU will likely behave the same way. They probably think that using students' myspace content against them is a "great new tool" instead of the timebomb it actually is.

I know the "marauder" thing has been beat to death, but it does seem like the pirate hat is part of what set this whole thing off, along with the alleged "drunken pirate" caption. And the school DOES use marauder for everything, has pirates and pirate hats all over the place (even on their webmail icon), they call their cafeteria "The Galley" for cryin' out loud.

Seems to me that the average (sane) person would see that photo and say "hey, now there's a girl that really has school spirit".

If every teacher who ever got drunk in college and took stupid pictures were to lose their credentials we would have a serious teacher shortage.

From the article…



Apparently she was doing a lousy job in her position as student teacher. And to top it off she was told to not direct her students to her MySpace page, which she clearly defied. IMO she got what she asked for, poor performance and disobeying those in authority.

Do we need more teachers who under perform and can’t follow the rules?

AND PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT THEY GET PAID.
Expect the teachers to be the moral compass, mentor, baby sitter, teacher and complain about paying them.
hmmmmmm
