A B.C. teacher was suspended without pay over comments she'd posted on Facebook, according to a disciplinary outcome recently made public.
A B.C. teacher was suspended without pay over comments she'd posted on Facebook, a statement of facts explains.
According to an agreement involving the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation, which was reached on Dec. 7 and posted publicly last week, the high school teacher was suspended for two days following her actions in January of last year.
It began with a local news article on four students from the teacher's school. The article, the BCCTR wrote, said they "had excelled in a team sporting event."
Two of the teens had never been in the teacher's class, but two had been taught by her in the 2018-19 school year.
According to the agreement reached with the teacher, she shared the article on her personal Facebook page.
In her post, she wrote, "Wish they'd been nicer students in my class… I'd be way more impressed with this."
She posted the text along with what are described by the BCCTR as "a thinking emoji and a shoulder shrug emoji."
