Teacher: I Was Fired for Publicly Shaming Bully

https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/teacher-i-was-fired-for-publicly-shaming-bully-119289264107.html

A fifth grade teacher says she was fired after she publicly confronted a school bully – and now she plans to sue the school district.

Nicole LeMire, a fifth grade teacher at Glen Oak Elementary in Lewis Center, Ohio, caught a student blowing his nose on other students, pushing them, and using inappropriate language, she told NBC 4. In response, she addressed his action in front of the class. “I said, ‘do you know how your actions and your words are hurting other students and your friends?’” she said. “That’s it.”

The parents of the victims as well as the community will hopefully rally around the teacher.

Would the school rather her turn a blind eye?

Makes zero sense...she deserves teacher of the year, imo.
