Looks like we will have a generation expecting 50% pay for doing
nothing. Just show up. Teacher fired for having valid expectations.

Tirado defended her decision after she was fired for giving her students
all zeroes for not turning their homework in.
In an interview with local news outlet WPTV, Tirado explained that she
had been hired during the 2018 summer break to teach eighth-grade social
studies at the Florida school. She had spent 17 years as a teacher, with
education experience in different grades and classrooms, both online and
in-person.

Only in her first year at West Gate, Tirado said she had been fired for
ignoring the school's "No Zero" policy, which is printed in the student
and parent handbook as “no zeroes – lowest possible grade is 50%.”

"Ms. Tirado was released from her duties as an instructor because her
performance was deemed sub-standard and her interactions with students,
staff, and parents lacked professionalism and created a toxic culture on
the school’s campus.

During her brief time of employment at West Gate, the school fielded
numerous student and parent complaints as well as concerns from
colleagues. Based on new information shared with school administrators,
an investigation of possible physical abuse is underway."

The spokesperson also mentioned the schools grading policy, stating that
there isn’t any policy prohibiting a teacher from recording a zero for
work not turned in."
