Just in case you thought that only teachers who give zeroes lose their job:
A Manhattan judge has denied a petition by a New York City teacher to win her job back after she was fired for engaging in inappropriate behavior in 2009.
Cindy Mauro, a 34-year-old French teacher at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School, was caught half naked in a classroom, ‘kneeling between the legs’ of a topless fellow teacher, an arbitrator found.
Mauro and her alleged lover, 32-year-old Alini Brito, had vehemently denied allegations of a ‘lesbian lovefest.’ The 34-year-old claimed that she was only helping Brito deal with her diabetes by bringing her some candy to raise her blood glucose levels.
Both teachers also denied they were ever naked, alleging that the custodian who walked in on them during a school talent show had a vivid imagination, the New York Daily News reported.
Imagine if she had been caught naked whilst giving a zero on a student’s assignment? All hell would have broken loose!
