Why wouldn’t they bring in drug sniffing dogs? Or is that what they did the first time around? My highschool used to do that - they’d put the school in lockdown and bring the dogs to sniff out lockers. It was terrifying because they never told you the reason for the lockdown, so you’d sit in a classroom for over an…

The statute under which the judge ordered her detained is intended for a witness who refuses to answer questions in court - not one who simply didn’t testify as well as the Crown wanted her to. A further detail that’s relevant is Cardinal was described as being “upset and panicked” while she testified; it’s been…

“Cardinal died seven months after testifying in an unrelated shooting.”

Nice to see that Canada has their fair share of idiotic judges and jackbooted thug cops too.

This is the textbook example of a Fourth Amendment rights violation.

I’m sure the handful of joints they imagined potentially confiscating during this illegal and inappropriate raid totally made traumatizing 900 kids worthwhile, right everyone?

What in the fuck dude, I would be breaking shit if this happened to my child. This is fucking molestation. Sue them for literally every penny they’re worth kids.

I hate how in America kids have no fucking rights.

“There were no drugs found on students or at the school during the search.”

It’s been a long time since I read an article from headline to signature with my jaw dropped open.

I am glad she was fired.

“The goal of the survey isn’t to reward bad work, it’s to identify areas that need to be improved. I am helping them do exactly that “

Sometimes a pause or a “why is that funny?” does the trick.

This reminds me of my 4th grade teacher who told me a 9 year old that I was cold blooded like a snake, I have never forgotten or that comment. This kind of behavior by a teacher stays with you.

Lack of professional judgement notwithstanding, the complete absence of empathy on display here would leave me gobsmacked even if this so-called joke was perpetrated on adults.

Yes, people can change, but it’s a lengthy process and you can’t take on the burden of the success or failure. If you have the strength and self-control for it, you need to take the long view and be strategic. Do not argue. Do not try to win on facts.

You have to avoid engaging reflexive defensiveness. What seems to…

I love my job but I’m not so far in an ivory tower that I don’t acknowledge that there are bad teachers in our profession. But this is so, so beyond bad teaching. The fact that other teachers actually laughed is even worse. I know some places seem to be much more casual about racism than others, but come on, how could…

Did this woman award herself the most likely to get fired for being a massive asshole award?

When they fired her, did they give her a certificate titled “Most Likely to Fuck Up So Badly, It’ll Make National News” ?

Yeah, the second they tell me “you’ll be getting a survey and if I don’t get all 10's, it’s considered a failure” it’s pretty much guaranteed that I won’t do the survey. I mean, what is the point of the survey then? If it is an all-or-nothing thing, just ask, were you happy with your experience? Yes or No.
