Teacher sacked by school in row over grades leaves pupils cheeky farewell message

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A strict teacher has been left confused after she was sacked in a row over grading her pupil's work. The school introduced a rule stating that she couldn't mark students work lower than 50 per cent so she raised concerns about the policy, reports the Daily Mirror.It was a rule she had never come across before in her 17 years of teaching, but when she questioned the matter it reportedly resulted in her contract being terminated.Mrs Tirado, was a teacher at a high school in Port St Lucie, Florida, but was sacked on September 14, 2018 after an argument with her faculty senior.

She said it all started when she questioned how she could mark a piece of work she was never given in the first place.The school's Student and Parent's Handbook says that no teacher is allowed to give a student a grade below 50 per cent - even if what they hand in is incomplete or substandard.

The teacher gave her Year Eight social studies class a fortnight to carry out a project, but at the end of that time period a number of them didn't submit anything.Upon receiving a termination notice with no official reason, because she was still working a probation period, she left a cheeky farewell message to her fellow students.It read: "Bye kids, Mrs Tirado loves you and wishes you the best in life!

I have been fired for refusing to give you a 50% for not handing anything in. [Love] Mrs Tirado," and she posted a photo of her goodbye note on Facebook .
