Getting Fired From My School - Warren Smith (video)
2024-05-15
[YouTube] Last Monday I was fired from my school after 4 years of teaching. I recorded this the following day in order to share my perspective - honestly & in good faith - in order to move forward and put this experience behind me. I have no desire to cause complications or bring unwanted attention to the school, so I will not divulge anything beyond that. It is important to me to be able to speak truthfully and honestly about one of the most challenging periods in the story of my life, in order to move onto a new chapter. I hope we all can respect one another's privacy, freedom of speech, and treat each other with dignity - even in challenging times.

#4  The truth is very dangerous. After they take your guns they will take your ability to say and hear the truth.

#3  Mr. Smith is the one who talked his student through whether JK Rowling deserves condemnation.

Reddit thread on his firing.

His learning for next time: Do NOT keep non-work stuff on your work computer, because the employer does own everything done on their devices, and everything done on work time.
