Nash ran the school district's Twitter account. On Jan. 5, a student tweeted to the account, asking that schools be closed "tammarow."
Nash responded from the district's account, "But then how would you learn how to spell 'tomorrow?'"

Well that makes sense. When your goal is to create as dumb a society as possible to gain more control over them, you cannot tolerate a teacher that wants to teach our children. If you cannot catch the heavy dose of sarcasm then I guess I failed.
I don’t think it was strictly that she pointed out the error but where she pointed it out. In the class room would have been quite acceptable. Where it might lead to a student being publicly humiliated it was not. Firing the teacher was way over the top. A simple note in her file with an apology to the student would have been more than appropriate.
This doesn’t pass the smell test.
Good or bad?
Should she have been fired?
Why did the kid want the school closed?
“Where it might lead to a student being publicly humiliated it was not.”
Public humiliation can be an effective teaching tool.
The question is. “Where’s is the name or picture?”I
Any photo’s to determine guilt or innocence?
Ok, why does a school or school district need a twitter account?
I guess I am too old to appreciate the whole twitter ‘thing’.
I was going to say that the school employee should not be twittering (to avoid twitting stupid things), but then I read they were in charge of the account. So I guess they were fired for doing their job, which makes no sense to me, the job of running a twitter account that is.
Maryland.....figures.
from the article:
“Nash says she understands why she was let go and that she didn’t want to be a distraction to the school system.”
“FCPS Social Media Coordinator Katie Nash”
Not a teacher.

“This doesn’t pass the smell test.”
It got a lot of coverage around here.
The whole thing makes logical sense; if this was the traditional Mafia she would have been whacked. In the present case, she was merely fired.
Of all the ‘holier than thou’ boring rude tactless grammar police I’ve observed first hand, and stories about them, this is a person that is actually paid and in a position where correction is proper.
Not a teacher.

And to think, sixty years ago students were expected to be called on and give answers in front of the ENTIRE CLASS! Talk about being shamed when you were “wrong”! Some of us even had to (gasp) STAND IN THE CORNER as punishment!
Good thing the teacher texted as I bet the student could not even read cursive.
So they can bask in their outrage at what Trump tweets every morning, Lol!
