Female Teacher Fired For Refusing To Give Students Credit For Homework

A teacher was fired for refusing to give students credit for homework not turned in to her.

According to WCMH, after many students didn't hand in an Explorer Notebook project, Diana Tirado, an eighth grade history teacher at West Gate, gave them a zero for a grade.

According to Tirado, she was let go because of the school's no zero policy, allegedly included in the student and parent handbook.

"But what if they don't turn it in, and they say we'll give them a 50. Oh no we didn't," Tirado told WCMH.

Tirado, who was still in her probationary period, was terminated from her position on Sept. 14. However, no clause was mentioned in the letter from the principal.

On Tirado's last day, she wrote a message on her whiteboard to the students and posted it on Facebook.
