Suspended Blogging Teacher To Return To Class

She got in hot water after posting that her students were 'rude, disengaged, lazy whiners'

The Central Bucks East High School teacher who blogged complaints about her students will return to school this fall.

Natalie Munroe, who has taught English at CB East since 2006 and earned $54,500 this year, was suspended with payafter students found her blog this February.

Superintendent N. Robert Laws said at the time that Munroe's blog posts about her students and co-workers were "very egregious" and "certainly could result in termination."

The school district's human resources director confirmed Wednesday that Munroe would return, but declined to comment further. Laws later sent an email to the newspaper, saying the district will hold a press briefing next week and will have no further comment until that time. It is unclear why the district is allowing Munroe to return.

She should be allowed to return. She mentioned no names. It's okay for students to create rude and obnoxious parodies about their principals and teachers (with names) and they get in no trouble at all, but this woman was just venting and got suspended and almost fired. This is laughable. Either stop them all or let them all do it. It should not be a double standard in favor of the already rude children. Then it just portrays the message that teasing is acceptable. I thought the purpose was the opposite of that? Children are always blameless in the eyes of the parents. There is something seriously wrong with this picture.
