SUPPORT THIS PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERMy intial read of this says that there might be more to this than appears, but it's still has all the appeal of a 10 pound bag of Cricket Crap from Dicker & Dicker of Beaverly Hills.From the unbelievable public school follies file. Well, actually, entirely believable:
A Gwinnett County teacher was fired early Friday after refusing to raise a student athlete's grade he lowered because the student appeared to be sleeping in class.Blogger Winfield Myers has been following the story and has much more. Students are trying to rally around Neace. 114 of them have signed a petition asking for his reinstatement.The Gwinnett County School Board voted 4-1 early Friday _ after a marathon Thursday night meeting _ to fire Dacula High School science teacher Larry Neace, said school system spokeswoman Sloan Roach.
Contact info for the Gwinnett County School Board is here.
This is one of the reasons that I chose UC San Diego over San Diego State University - athlete's in the classroom.
Now, athletes aren't the scourge of the univerese - trigonometry is - but IMHO I see no reason for colleges to have any sort of athletic program outside of Phys Ed.
None what-so-ever.
And I don't see the logic is allowing jocks to slide where I'm busting my ass and in the end of things I'll be an engineering making lives better for people whereas the jock is pulling down seven figures in what ultimately comes down to 'playing a game'.
Sorry, you won't get any sympathy from me about the 'poor athlete struggling to stay awake cause they had an AWAY game and were on the bus all night'. B-O-O H-O-O.
You also won't be getting any alumni contributions to get the team new uniforms. Let them do a bake sales or a car wash...
Anyway...this is crap. That school board knows it, the students know it, and now lots more people know it.
And that student athlete sleeping in class? Throw erasers at him....
