Two teachers



In both of these cases, teachers are left out of their jobs because they went out of the rule to teach their students the reality. Many teachers follow the same material others have put together for them to follow. The teacher in the first case is fired because she used a book that uses swear words, which is not allowed by the school program. The teacher did follow the right steps to inform the parents of the students before using the book in class but still got fired as it was not approved by the syllabus director. In the second case the teacher took a class to an art museum that had nude art and got complains about the trip from the parents. She was fired too even though she followed all the required steps to take her class on a field trip.
Over all I think, it is the teachers that are right on these two issues as they went outside to the box to teach their students what reality is. Most of the time during middle and high school, the curriculum is set without keeping the reality in our mind but one way or other children learn everything. Also I think it is defiantly better to teach students about everything including swearing and nudity, because that way one knows what the stand for and they can chose not to use swear words or how to approach nudity. If we don’t teach such things at school, children learn them from outside, where its impact is more negative than positive. I believe that these teachers should not only be given their jobs back but should also be part of making the new syllabus as they not only work for their pay but work for true learning of their students.
