HMMMMM : Teacher Fighting For Job

FRISCO, Texas -- An award-winning teacher in Frisco is fighting for her job after an approved field trip to a Dallas museum has upset parents.

Fisher Elementary school art teacher Sydney McGee came under fire last April when she took 89 fifth graders on a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. Parents raised concerns over the field trip after their children reported seeing a nude sculpture at the art museum.
The parents had signed permission slips allowing their children to take part in the field trip.

Now, McGee, who was honored with a Star Teacher Award two years ago, is on paid administrative leave until her contact with the school district expires in March.

Other parents are worried about the future of the art program at the school, which they cite as a reason for moving into the neighborhood.

"Our main concern right now is what's going to happen to the children and what's going to happen to the art program at Fisher Elementary. It is the best art program. That's the reason we moved to this neighborhood. It's because of the teachers," said Shannon Allen, parent. "It was a principal approved trip. What's the big deal."

Officials with the Frisco school district declined to comment on the matter.

I just think this is ALL kinds of wrong. This award-winning teacher took her students on a field-trip that was approved by the school and she was granted permission from each individual student's parent. It is an art museum. There might be nude paintings, sculptures, etc. If you didn't want your kid to go or had concerns, that was your choice.....but she should not be losing her job over this when everyone approved.

Am I wrong ?
