A secondary school teacher has been sacked after posting insulting tweets about her students online.
Lauren Rose, who calls herself a “charming troublemaker" on Twitter, was working as a supply teacher at Ifield Community College in Crawley, West Sussex when she posted a flurry of furious tweets about her students.
One of the tweets read, “Not sure I have the energy (or desire) to teach feral kids all day - The f*** is wrong with Crawley children?”
She then went on to write, “You wouldn't believe the cowface I taught yesterday - or didn't as she was swiftly kicked out of the class.”
The school received complaints about the tweets and launched an investigation.
When fellow social networkers accused the teacher of being ‘unethical’ she fired back, "Then I'll deal with the consequences."
Headteacher of the school Richard Cowper announced yesterday that the teacher had been sacked following the insulting tweets.
“We feel that the Twitter comments are totally unacceptable, bringing the college and the teaching profession into disrepute,’ he said. “As a result we have taken full and immediate disciplinary action.”
