Diane Tirado is a teacher who cares. She believes teaching is her calling. Now, the veteran teacher is out of a job for refusing to hand out participation trophies to her students after switching to a school with a leftwing policy.
She started teaching 8th-grade history in Port St. Lucie, Florida this school year. Tirado assigned her class a notebook project and when students didn’t turn the assignment in, she gave them 0% credit. The school has a policy of giving children a 50% on assignments they don’t even turn in. Students don’t even have to lift a finger to get at least half of the credit! They get participation trophies for not even participating!
This is a zero tolerance policy and since Tirado was in her probationary phase as a new teacher, she was fired for refusing to raise grades for work that was never turned in. She wrote a goodbye note on her whiteboard and sent it to her students through a classroom app. She also posted it on Facebook, where it quickly got attention.
Some of the students replied they agreed that kids who don’t turn in their work shouldn’t get 50%. This absurd policy doesn’t teach children the reality of the world. You don’t get paid just for showing up. You actually have to work. It is easier to teach this lesson to a child at school than it is to teach an adult at work. Tirado understands this and it’s why she refused to buckle and give kids credit for doing nothing.
“I’m so upset because we have a nation of kids that are expecting to get paid and live their life just for showing up and it’s not real,” she says in the video below.
