School fires shot across the bow at ‘Drunken Pirate’
CV says it did not ask MU to punish student teacher:
Last week I posted about Stacy Snyder, aka The Drunken Pirate. She’s the woman who had her teaching degree denied by Millersville University. Originally the allegation was that the Conestoga Valley School District, where Ms. Snyder was a student teacher, threatened Millersville not to give her the teaching degree because of the now infamous “drunken pirate” picture. Conestoga Valley School District says different…
Snyder was given a poor evaluation based on her performance at the high school and was warned not to direct students to her MySpace page, Kelin said.
However, Kelin said Snyder continued to direct students to the Web page.
“Snyder required ’significant remediation’ as a teacher, and her evaluation reflected serious performance problems,” Kelin said. “Contrary to what is alleged in Ms. Snyder’s lawsuit, nobody from the school district threatened that it would not accept any more Millersville University student teachers unless it punished Ms. Snyder.”
Snyder mentioned on her Web site she had been warned about posting online messages to students, Kelin said.
According to a statement issued by the school district, “Snyder’s Web site invites students to continue looking at her page, and in apparent response to Ms. Reinking’s advice that such an invitation was unprofessional says, ‘I don’t think that they would stoop that low as to mess with my future.”
Snyder submitted an apology to the high school and university after being told she would not receive an education degree or teaching certificate.
In the letter, released by the district, she wrote, “This incident has caused me to open my eyes and realize that I am the only person to blame.”
If she’s the only person to blame then why the lawsuit?
