Strike 37, You’re Out
Susan Bartlett, 34, a teacher at Pine Grove Elementary School in Brooksville, Fla., was “out of control,” colleagues say. She allegedly yelled at colleagues, smoked pot at school, “burped loudly” in staff meetings, and called children “stupid” in class. Yet the worst the school would do to her is enter a reprimand in her record — and extend her contract for another year. School officials finally took action when, in a staff meeting, Bartlett “pulled her pants down and showed her entire bottom to the whole group of teachers in the room,” an incident report says. The penalty? She was ordered to take a drug test. Bartlett refused that demand, saying there was a “lack of just cause,” and only then was she fired. (St. Petersburg Times)
