The teacher argued that the convictions did not relate to teacher effectiveness as her first grade students did not know of her arrests. Will her termination be upheld by the courts? Why or why not? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This is a sad situation in which this teacher cannot see the potentially catastrophic consequences of her actions. Her DUI convictions absolutely affect her morality, as well as her effectiveness as a teacher. She is putting the lives of others at risk and setting a negative example for her students. I believe her termination should be and will be upheld.
