I have seen a district that words this stuff the same way first of all students don't pay s*** and the school is not run like a business, it's not a private school where you pay tuition, it is FREE, so there are no customers
The billions of tax dollars for public education come from the customers. It's not like the public education budget is paid with mana from Heaven.
Just as an update on this story for people who are curious - the teacher did return to her job for the 2011-2012 school year, but the school allowed parents to request a transfer from her class for their kids, and the school honored them. She was left with an extremely light load. She received poor evaluations and was not renewed for the 2012-2013 school year.
I knew some of the staff from this school - she was not particularly embraced by the staff over this, and they were pretty certain the school district would not have made a move unless they were certain of the legality of their actions. I'm sure she'll be suing, but doubt she'll be reinstated.

Well, that raises a question... are the taxpayers her customers or her employers?
The right to criticism your public sector employer publicly has been widely upheld.
As a customer, a parent can take their kids to another teacher. Just as the teacher in the original post learned in 2011-12. As the parents requested transfer to another class, the teacher lost her customers. When you lose your customers, you are out of a job.

Athough the job of a teacher is to teach, and not allow her personal opinions to get in the way of her job. She's probably right.
For someone who lives in Philadelphia, I see first hand on how these children act and behave out in public, on transportation, etc.'
They curse, loud, use profanity.
Alot of them have no books in hands or bookbags and just show up.
I think she should be reprimanded, but not fired.
