PORT RICHEY, Fla. – Two Florida teachers resigned in shame after they allegedly allowed their elementary students to vote on which students should be reassigned to different classrooms.
Two third grade teachers at Gulf Highlands Elementary School who were not identified submitted letters of resignation amid the school’s attempt to balance class sizes by shifting some students into a new class, WFTS reports.pascoschoolscandal
Pasco County Schools spokeswoman Linda Cobbe told the news site third grade classrooms at the school are crowded and district officials opted to move students from each classroom into a new class. That’s apparently when the two teachers hatched a plan to have their 8-year-old students vote on which two peers are the most disruptive and deserve to be kicked out of class, Cobbe said.
The incident involved about 40 students.
