“...I’d support her suspension, same as if she were conducting an anti-war speech in front of her class.”
Many English teachers make anti-war speeches all the time and never get suspended. The don’t get suspended for tossing in a DVD of Shakespeare in Brooklyn instead of actually working. If one has a class full of under-motivated slugs for 50 minutes one can shift gears once in a while. The suspension is silly.
Maybe they wouldn’t be unmotivated if the teacher taught instead of dancing or showing dvds.
