She was working as a SUBSTITUTE teacher and was supposed to follow the instructions left by the children's teacher, who did NOT include that she add her own views/comment/beliefs/ re the Santa poem to these 1st graders.

SHE chose NOT to follow the teacher's exact instruction...to read the poem..period.

Conclusion: Memo to principal: Strike her name from your substitute list and note that she is officious and unreliable in following instructions.

Ah, but did the lesson plan specifically forbid her from discussing the myth behind Saint Nicholas?

Are you the children's regular teacher?

And what were the teacher's EXACT instructions. Please post them here for all to read.

Are you the regular teacher for whom she substituted?

If not, then how do you know she didn't follow the instructions?
