My students are out of control," Munroe, who has taught 10th, 11th and 12th grades, wrote in one post. "They are rude, disengaged, lazy whiners. They curse, discuss drugs, talk back, argue for grades, complain about everything, fancy themselves entitled to whatever they desire, and are just generally annoying."

And in another post, Munroe — who is more than eight months pregnant — writes: "Kids! They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs. Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy LOAFERS." She also comes up with a colorful list of comments that she felt should be available on student report cards.

Munroe did not use her full name or identify her students or school in the blog, which she started in August 2009 for friends and family. Last week, she said, students brought it to the attention of the school, which suspended her with pay.

Being as she did not reveal the name of the school or the students or even her own name, I fail to see how she could be fired for doing this.

It is clearly a free speech issue. If she did this on her own time, they have no case against her.

If she is this unhappy with her job, it might be better for her own sanity to teach elsewhere or to dedicate hreself to a different career, though.

if the claim is true, wouldn`t this be the reason for less  people to become teachers? it`s been stated we have a brain drain in this country and not much of a push for people to go into the teaching profession.

"you should be happy to have a job" is not much of a insentive to teach

Dumping constantly on teachers, and taking away their benefits is not any way to improve education.

don`t forget the very small budget for supplies
