A small win for free speech. But I can't see the teacher getting much of a welcome back into the school
A suburban Philadelphia high school teacher suspended over a blog in which she called students "disengaged, lazy whiners" has been reinstated.
A lawyer for Natalie Munroe says she will be allowed to return to her Central Bucks East High School classroom this autumn. Lawyer Steve Rovner says the district reinstated Ms Munroe to the same school, teaching the same classes. He says her talents would best be utilised at a different school in the district, but that's not an option.
Ms Munroe was suspended in February after the district became aware of her blog, in which she described some students as "frightfully dim," "whiny" and "tactless". [All probably true]

Maybe her coworkers will be hard to get along with, but I hardly doubt any of her students read enough to even know anything was going on with her.
There's a good chance many of her colleagues agree with her but are smart enough to not voice their opinions in writing.
What do you expect when 'self esteem' carries a higher value in schools than 'learning'.
