Sub Fired for Acting Out Dates With 4th Graders, Asking for Love Advice
LatestIt’s true that children can be very wise. Sometimes they’ll just give you nuggets of wisdom when you least expect it. For instance, the other day a small girl told me that no one would ever marry me because I’m too loud. She might be right, but I didn’t press. A substitute teacher in New York, however, made the mistake of talking to her students about her love life and asking them to act out scenarios that would help her choose between two men in her life. Good dilemma to have, bad course of action to solve it.
Cassandre Fiering was fired from her post at P.S. 189 when it came to light that she had acted out dating scenarios with her fourth grade students. During the activity, Fiering had the students act out the important role of one of the men she was dating. Fiering told the children that she was interested in two men in their 30s and needed help deciding which one to choose. Help her out, fourth graders! Love is on the line! This is just like every romantic comedy I’ve ever seen! (Except no one gets fired in those type of movies.)
