- FEASTERVILLE, Pennsylvania: A high school English teacher in suburban Philadelphia has become an icon by daring to ask in no delicate terms: Why are today’s students unmotivated — and what’s wrong with calling them out? Natalie Munroe was suspended from her job in the middle-class Central Bucks School District for her profanity-laced blog, which has since been taken down.
In it, the 30-year-old teacher called her students “disengaged, lazy whiners” and complained that they are “just generally annoying” and “disobedient, disrespectful oafs.” Online comments applaud her for taking a tough love approach or excoriating her for verbal abuse. She’s attracted media attention, and backers have started a Facebook group.
Munroe did not use her full name or identify her students or school. A school official did not return a message Tuesday.
