re: Teacher says she was fired for giving zeroes to students who didn't turn in their work

Pathetic.

My wife is a teacher. When we were dating, we had plans to go out after her last day of teaching summer school in 1998. She got a call from an irate parent who just learned that her little moron flunked her class.

My wife explained that the little moron slept every day in class and never turned in a single piece of work, so he got a ZERO for the class. Moron's mom then tells my wife that she knows the principal and the superintendent.

Wife tells her call them, but the grade is what it is. About ten minutes later, the principal calls and say since the parent paid the $300 for the summer session that they changed the grade to a "D" so little moron can move up a grade. Unbelievable.
