Teacher Accused Of Putting Hot Sauce On Crayons To Keep Students From Eating Them

Kissimmee, FL — Lillian Gomez, a special needs teacher at*Sunrise Elementary, may soon be standing in the unemployment line for allegedly sprinkling hot sauce on the crayons in her classroom in order to prevent her autistic students from snacking on ‘em. Two of the children involved were apparently so traumatized by the whole thing, they refused to even touch a crayon for weeks. “I was really upset. I couldn’t believe it. Honestly, I was like how can a teacher of so many years do something like that,” said family member*Karina Holguin. “They got to be traumatized, especially for a kid who can’t express himself like any other children that can tell you this hurts or doesn’t hurt.” When school administrators learned of the alleged incident in October, Gomez, a 12-year veteran with the district, was removed from the classroom and suspended. With pay, of course.*The superintendent is now requesting Gomez be terminated. Figuratively, mind you. An*employee termination hearing has been set for February 7.

oh dear.... poor judgement on teacher's part but I can understand her frustration.... and if she hadn't stopped these children from eating the crayons, the headlines could just as easily have read:

TEACHER LETS STUDENTS EAT CRAYONS.....

Wishing you happiness

That is so true. It appears she was in a Catch 22 situation.
