Case Study # 2 // Online Quiz

When I read this Case Study, I was pretty shocked. I also took the brief on-line quiz about what teachers can get fired for. I only got one answer wrong. I wasn't sure they could neccessarily get FIRED for cursing in class.

I linked the reading to the quiz because even though Julie Amero was only a substitute teacher, her whole career is now in jeopardy. I think that the school totally misunderstood Julie's plea. Honestly, what I got out of the Case Study is that she tried desperately to try to get help turning the computer off and there wasn't a response because she was "only a substute." I think that schools need to pay more attention to substitute teachers bceause nine times out of ten, they are our future teachers.

This Case Study disturbed me greatly because I think that the school did not give Julie a chance. She claimed she tried to find different people throughout the whole day and she even consulted with the assistant principal after school and toook the time to call the next day to talk to the principal.

I think that it is the school's responsiblity to make sure each electronic device is turned off if the teacher is not in the classroom. I remember when I was both in elementary and high school the computers were not allowed on unless our teacher was in school. To be on the safe side, the school in which Julie was subbing at, should have been more strict with thier policies.
