Teacher Fired For Getting Dating Advice From 4th Graders

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!
