Fired...!

Jennifer Mitts has been a high school teacher for over a decade, at Red Bank HS in Red Bank, Tennessee. However, she is now out of a job for an action many consider to be noble.

So what did Ms. Mitts do? She brought her 20-year-old student to an emergency room and then covered the cost of her medical treatment. As to what the treatment was, there is no word, but when school officials learned about it, they weren’t happy.

Hamilton County human resources says that this wasn’t the first time she had paid for a student’s medical bills and that she had already been asked to cease doing it.

 "Ms. Mitts was officially warned in writing back not to take students from campus in her car without permission," school rep said.

The student body and residents of Red Bank seem to be siding with the teacher. Many are showing sympathy towards Ms. Mitts and the incident with the high school.

Mitts has 400 signatures on a petition to reinstate her, and is planning to file a lawsuit against the school board. 

Parent Ashley Gonzales put it succinctly, “Honestly if it was my child and we couldn't afford it out of pocket, I hope there would be somebody that would do that for us.

So what was the problem. ?? Many.           Just a thought.
