Maybe she should have just called in sick.
An untenured Brooklyn high-school teacher catapulted herself down a school stairwell in a wacky attempt to avoid a classroom observation by her supervisor, a probe obtained by The Post shows.
Staffers at the HS for Innovation in Advertising and Media told investigators that first-year teacher Ilene Feldman was so petrified about a scheduled classroom observation -- coming in the wake of a poor performance review -- that she staged a clumsy pratfall in a stairwell rather than risk getting a second negative rating.
Untenured teachers can be canned out of hand if they are rated unsatisfactory after any of their first three years on the job.
Administrators at the Canarsie school -- suspicious of Feldman's injury because it coincided with a classroom-observation meeting -- handed security-camera footage to school investigators after concluding that Feldman purposely fell down the stairs.

You can’t accuse me of fraud, I lawyer up.
You can’t fire me, I quit.
You can't quit. You're fired.
She was pretending to teach; they were pretending to learn. Why shouldn’t she pretend to fall?

Brilliant! ;)
ROFL..... Sounds like she needs to reconsider her career options.
I attended Canarsie High School back in the 70’s when it was a very good school. These days it serves mostly minority and Russian students and the facility looks in terrible shape. I’ve heard the nearby stores actually close up during the time the students are let out.
