Here is what Miss Mitts did. When a young student needed to go see the doctor because the school nurse thought she had pneumonia, Miss Mitts volunteered to take her to the hospital and foot the bill for any charges she would incur because the student did not have health insurance. When Principal Roberts heard that she did this, he called her into his office and told her that what she did was a "liability." Miss Mitts had been given a warning last year for taking a young student with a 105 temperature to the doctor WITH the student's parent's permission. She was told not to do it again but she thought it was OK this time because the student with suspected pneumonia was 20 years old and therefore a legal adult. Even though both students may have suffered harm by not going to the doctor, Principal Roberts saw fit to give Miss Mitts the choice of being fired or resigning for her good deeds.

If you believe that good deeds should be rewarded and not punished, please sign this petition to ask for justice.
