This teacher was fired because she complained about the behavior of her students and even called them some unfaltering names. Should she be fired?

According to the New York Daily News:

“In her blog, which has since been removed, Munroe referred to her students as ‘out of control,’ ‘rude, lazy, disengaged whiners,’ and called one ‘a complete and utter jerk in all ways.’”

I don't think she should be fired for it. Everyone needs to be able to vent and her doing so on a blog probably benefited her mental health. I would much rather see a teacher doing it on a blog that he/she doesn't advertise to their students than stand there in the classroom telling their students they are lazy, inconsiderate, brats, etc.

There's a lot of problems in our public schools and a lot of the problems are parents.
 
I do not think she should lose her job. Actually, I really don't think she should be in trouble at all. She has a right, too, and she never identified herself, her school or her students.

Now, what I will say is this. I think she SHOULD have written it. I am not a teacher, and I never taught. I DID however, go to KSU for it and I spent time in the classroom. East Paulding Middle, actually. It amazed me some of the students and their parents. Kids are mouthy, rarely get into "real" trouble, and parents never think their kid is anything other than an angel.

It blew my mind. Maybe parents and communities should know what little brats a lot of kids really are nowdays. That's JMO.
 
That's why I said a lot of the problems in schools are the parents. If kids don't receive any discipline at home, how do you expect them to behave at school, especially when parents defend their terrible behavior?
