She was my daughters favorite teacher. Very good teacher. Everyone makes mistakes. She is just human.
My son said Mrs. Morris his is most favorite teacher. He was not a very good student until he was in her class. She has made the world of difference in him and should be kept. Whom out there has make mistakes. This is something she can recover for and should be allowed too. There needs to be a petiton started to keep Mrs Morris!
When I attended HHS in the 80s, The principal was arrested for DUI on the way to school one morning after hit and run with a guardrail on hwy 34 east. He was not fired or even placed on administrative leave.
Because you do your job well and are liked are you now exempt from the consequences of your actions?
No you are not exempt……but have you not done something that is not good. And needed a second chance or are you perfect?
Thank you to the above posts who have expressed such kind and forgiving words. It is so refreshing and heart warming to witness such faith and empathy. I am a niece to Jill Morris and I know that your outreach will comfort her during this trying time. Redemption is often a perpetually winding and extremely difficult path but is well worth the struggle. May your thoughts, prayers, and encourgement continue. Again, thank you for your compassion.
