Another Genius - Teacher "hates" students

[Enigma869]

As I've always said...there is no fix for stupid. Talk about poor taste. Getting on Facebook and stating that you'd like to bring your students to the beach on the heels of one of their classmates drowning. Fucking dope!

This woman should be banned from teaching forever. People like this give good teachers a bad name! I would take a bullet for any of my students and protect them with my life. She went beyond insensitive to sinister in one statement!

If you hate kids why oh why do you teach? I love my students, even the ones that drive me crazy sometimes. They are just kids! They are not perfect and they will make you nuts some days. But they are just kids doing what kids do. If they were all perfect I would be suspecting something was wrong with them! And sometimes when they do some antics I have to laugh under my breath!

Nothing is more rewarding than students who turn about and get it together and come to thank you later for being patient with them.

If you don't like kids get out of the schools!

When are people going to learn?!?!
If you want to air your feelings and
express opinions/dislike for others ...come here!!

Seriously, she is a dope
I would not have wanted her anywhere near
my children ...even though all teachers have probably
hated/expressed hatred for their students at
one time or another, she was a little too detailed
for my taste. Private or not, when you put things
on the internet it's there for the world ...how
many times have hard drives been used as evidence?!
Just watch Tru TV!!!

the teacher blamed the incident on a friend who had access to her account. A longtime friend later corroborated Rubino's claims, and took responsibility for the post.

Rubino, meanwhile, acknowledges that her post was inappropriate, but argues that it shouldn't jeopardize her 15-year teaching career. "It was something I said out of anger," Rubino told the New York Post.

So which is it, Teach?

Four words. C U Next Tuesday. Yes, it may be something she said in anger and you know what, we all do that from time to time, I can't name anyone I have met in my life that hasn't done that, but good lord, for a teacher to post openly that she wants to off her students? Anger induced or not, that's not ok...

When you're in a position like hers, especially being in charge of children (teacher, day care worker, etc), you really should be a lot smarter than to post ANYTHING regarding your job or your students on ANY online ANYTHING (whether it's "private" to just your friends or not). Yes, she may have the "right" to post thing on her own personal facebook, twitter, whatever... but as I've said about a thousand times in a thousand discussions, having the "right" to do something does not mean it's a good idea.

This has been big news here in the Houston area lately:

Daycare Provider Jessica Tata Flees to Nigeria After Fire Kills 4 Children, Injures 3
By Ruth Manuel-Logan on Mar 2nd 2011 9:38AM


Jessica Tata left seven children alone at her Houston-based daycare to go shopping at Target last week. She returned to a blaze at her home that killed four children and critically injured three.

Now investigators are concerned that the Nigerian-born woman may have left the country in order to not face nine charges of reckless body injury to a child and three charges of child endangerment.

Tata, who ran Jackie's Child Care, allegedly left the children unattended to go to Target. A store surveillance camera shows the 22-year-old daycare provider entering the premises at 1:09 p.m. and leaving at 1:24 p.m.

The first call to 911 was made at 1:29 p.m. to report the fire. Neighbors told police they witnessed Tata drive up to the home at around 2:00 p.m., and when she opened the door, they heard her scream when she was met by a haze of smoke. Neighbors also said they saw bags of groceries in Tata's van.

Investigators believe the fire started from a pot of oil left unattended on the kitchen stove.

Seven young children were pulled from the blaze and immediately taken to area hospitals. Unfortunately, doctors could not save 3-year-old Shomari Dickerson, 20-month-old Elizabeth Kojah, 20-month-old Kendyll Stradford or 18-month-old Elias Castillo. As far as the other three toddlers, two remain in critical but stable condition and Shomari's 2-year-old sister, MaKayla, is showing signs of improvement.

No specific information on the remaining children's injuries was released. Dr. David Herndon, chief of staff at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Galveston, said in a statement, though, that "we are very hopeful for full recovery of patients who have these types of injuries."

Meanwhile, a warrant was issued for Tata's arrest on Sunday and a bond was set for $550,000. Reportedly, she fled the country hours later. Tata's family members are claiming that they do not know her whereabouts.

Parents and relatives of the children are up in arms about how the investigation was handled from the beginning. Reports show that though Tata was charged Thursday afternoon, the charge wasn't actually filed until Sunday, after the young woman had already left the country.

An arson investigator told prosecutors Friday they had been tipped the woman was getting ready to flee, but Donna Hawkins, a spokeswoman for the prosecutors' office, said information initially provided by the fire department wasn't sufficient to act:

"The state had to establish there were no other employees or adults on site at the time the defendant left the residence," Hawkins told the Houston Chronicle.

"I'm sorry, no there's no forgiveness for anyone who makes an income watching children and has an audacity to leave them for one second," Shomari's grandmother, Tracy Storms, told KHOU on Saturday. Storms also believes Tata should face capital murder charges in the case.

Authorities said the Houston Fire department has asked the U.S. Marshal's Office to intervene to have Tata extradited back to Houston.

If convicted, Tata could face up to 20 years in prison.

I've heard, Ken ... 7 children 16 months to 3 years, such a huge responsibility
to take so lightly ...no words

Yeah that's bad. But Facebook seems to be the place people like her actually LIKE to blurt out things they know they shouldn't. Wonder if she knew she could have deleted it? I see others on FB do that all the time when they blurt shit out they know they shouldn't
