“Where it might lead to a student being publicly humiliated it was not.”

You are not going to be able to prevent an uneducated child, or adult, from humiliating themselves when you give them a modern handheld device that has access to social media. If, that is, they have the capacity to understand the concept of humiliation.

Having worked in enough jobs where management was passive-aggressive to the nth degree, I can pretty much guarantee that they had already been looking for a reason to fire her, probably for quite some time.

Insert one of the cut and paste passive-aggressive statements here, such as: ‘Unfortunately, we’ve come to the conclusion that you’re just not a good fit for our organisation’.

Translation: she has pissed off one or more of the wrong people somewhere along the way.

If she’s not a teacher, she had no business advocating for education. /s

IMO ... she was fired because the schools are using electronic communication(s) with students (seems to be mostly grammer and middle schools) and it is a HUGE open door for teacher/student abuse and the fact that this teacher had free access to a student ... no m,atter HOW innocent .... I’m willing to guess that she had been cautioned about actually USING this freedom UNTIL THE SCHOOL (district) HAD GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT.

Much better to call it on him now rather than letting him go through life not knowing how to spell. Sure, wait until he’s humiliated the next 50 years because he can’t get a decent job because he didn’t learn a thing in school.

Be prepared! that's the boy scout's marching song,
Be prepared! as through life you march along.
Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well,
Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell.
