A substitute teacher in New York,
Cassandre Fiering, has been fired after using her 4th grade students
for dating advice. What seemed to really push it over the edge was
reenacting scenarios with them. In PS 189 (I swear these NY school
names are so strange) she wanted the kids advice with a guy that she
had started dating. She allegedly asked the kids to toilet paper the
guys house and touched the kids while role-playing. She said she kept
things G-rated. “The kids were saying, 'Oh, we're your counselor.'
They were excited to have me listen to their advice. They were saying
all kinds of things, trying to help me because this guy was being a
jerk to me.” Apparently there were only four students in class
because the rest were on a field trip. Translation: the bad kids or
the ones that forgot trip slips.
I have some experience with this. When
I was in the 10th grade my geometry teacher at Fairfax was getting
married. This was an older White lady who was dating an Arab guy. Me
and this one other girl who looked way too much like the first girl I
ever kissed knew that this whole situation was gonna be bad.
So one day she brings a bunch of fliers
(this was the 90's, kids) advertising a garage sale. She was selling
all her shit because she was going to be moving overseas with this
guy. One day she brought one of them ninja looking gimmicks that
Middle eastern women wear. “We can't show our face!” she said
with so much joy. Mind you, this entire time we're not doing any work
in class. 3rd period was listen to teacher talk about her love life.
One day she is gone. We get a new
substitute every few days. We hadn't heard about a marriage or
anything but we did hear teachers talking about her. One day she
shows up wearing sunglasses and is full of rage. We sit down in class
and she slams her books down on her desk and shouts “My love life
is personal and I don't want to talk about it! Open your books to
page blah blah blah!” A few weeks later she flips a switch. She
starts reading from a self help book to us and openly flirting with
other male teachers. When its time to get our grades everyone failed.
I shit you not, she gave everyone an F. One girl lost her shit. This
hot ass smart chick fought and got a D. I ended up in summer school
for the first time.
The point, if any, is that teachers
need to keep their personal lives out of school. Your students
shouldn't know anything about your marriage, how many kids you have,
where you were born, or what your underwear looks like. Ms. Fiering
says there was no lesson plan for the day so she spent it talking to
a bunch of goddamn children about her dating life. She is 45 and too
old to be that stupid. She is five times older than these kids and
wants advice from them about relationships? No wonder she is having
trouble with men! If you are wondering why her pictures are so nice
its because she acts. The reason this story got out is because one of
the kids went home and told there parents about it. If there is no
lesson plan for the day guess what happens? Time to read. Practice
handwriting. There's four kids in class! Have them talk amongst
themselves!
