Moms Talk: Was the "Lazy Whiners" Teacher Right?

You've all probably heard about Central Bucks East (PA) High School teacher Natalie Munroe by now.

She was the one who described her students as "rude, disengaged, lazy whiners," among other not-so-nice things, on her blog recently, and was suspended for it once students brought the blog to the attention of administrators at the Bucks County school.

If you haven't read about Munroe yet, check out some of the other things she had to say at dailyfinance.com/article/pa-teacher-strikes-nerve-with-lazy/1578656/.

Some have applauded Munroe for what they deem her honesty. Some have excoriated her for what they feel were outrageous comments by a woman in a leadership role.

We want to know what you think.

Join our Moms Council at 1 p.m. today to discuss some of the following questions:

Is Munroe right in her assertion today's children are "lazy whiners?" If you think she is, what needs to be done to get America's students back on the right track?

If you disagree with Munroe, we want to hear from you, too. What do you think of your children's teachers? Is it today's educators who are "lazy whiners?"

To share your thoughts on the subject, just use the "comment" box located just below this article.
