Pa. teacher strikes nerve with 'lazy whiners' blog

Central Bucks, Pa., East High School teacher Natalie Munroe is seen while on hold during a phone interview at her attorneys office in Feasterville, Pa., Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011. Munroe, suspended from her job over profanity-laced posts on her blog, says she was speaking the truth about students who are unwilling to work hard at school.

FEASTERVILLE, Pa. — A high school English teacher in suburban Philadelphia who was suspended for a profanity-laced blog in which she called her young charges "disengaged, lazy whiners" is driving a sensation by daring to ask: Why are today's students unmotivated -- and what's wrong with calling them out?
As she fights to keep her job at Central Bucks East High School, 30-year-old Natalie Munroe says she had no interest in becoming any sort of educational icon. The blog has been taken down, but its contents can still be found easily online.
Her comments and her suspension by the middle-class school district have clearly touched a nerve, with scores of online commenters applauding her for taking a tough love approach or excoriating her for verbal abuse. Media attention has rained down, and backers have started a Facebook group.
"My students are out of control," Munroe, who has taught 10th, 11th and 12th grades, wrote in one post. "They are rude, disengaged, lazy whiners. They curse, discuss drugs, talk back, argue for grades, complain about everything, fancy themselves entitled to whatever they desire, and are just generally annoying."
And in another post, Munroe -- who is more than eight months pregnant -- writes: "Kids! They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs. Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy LOAFERS." She also comes up with a colorful list of comments that she felt should be available on student report cards.
Munroe did not use her full name or identify her students or school in the blog, which she started in August 2009 for friends and family. Last week, she said, students brought it to the attention of the school, which suspended her with pay.
"They get angry when you ask them to think or be creative," Munroe said of her students in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. "The students are not being held accountable."
Munroe pointed out that she also said positive things, but she acknowledges that she did write some things out of frustration -- and of a feeling that many kids today are being given a free pass at school and at home.
"Parents are more trying to be their kids' friends and less trying to be their parent," Munroe said, also noting students' lack of patience. "They want everything right now. They want it yesterday."

YOU KNOW WHAT- KIDS ARE RUDE THESE DAYS AND SOMETIMES THEY DO ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN TO THEM. ALSO ALL KIDS THAT ARE RUDE DON'T NEED TO GO SEE A SHRINK THEY JUST NEED OUR GUIDANCE AND LOVE. WE ALSO HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS OUR SOCIETIES FAULT BECAUSE WE PUSH OUR KIDS TO ACT LIKE ADULTS AND WE DON'T LET THEM BE THEMSELVES WHICH THEY ARE CHILDREN. WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO GROW UP FAST SO THEY CAN GET AHEAD IN THE JOB MARKET AND SO FORTH. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT

Save as Draft

BUT WE HAVE LOST SIGHT ON LETTING THEM GROW UP ON THEIR OWN PACE. I MEAN COME ON- YOU HAVE TO PASS A TEST TO GET INTO KINDERGARTEN AND WHEN I WAS IN KINDERGARTEN YOU LEARNED YOUR ABC'S THERE. IT WASN'T A PREREQUISITE TO ALREADY KNOW THEM. MAYBE WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF THINKING ON HOW WE PUSH OUR CHILDREN TO GROW UP.

SALT LAKE CITY — A family of classical musicians that won widespread acclaim and appeared on some of the nation's top talk shows has been rocked by dual tragedies -- their parents were hurt in a horrific crash that came after their father was accused of sexually abusing his three daughters in the group.

The 5 Browns are a piano group from Utah that features the three sisters and their two brothers. The Juilliard-trained siblings' CDs have topped the Billboard classical music charts and their concerts often sellout in all 50 states and in Japan, Germany, France, Korea, Mexico and England.
Their critical and popular acclaim has led to appearances on "Oprah," "The View" and other shows, and a profile by "60 Minutes."
The family patriarch, Keith Brown, survived the crash and faces one first-degree felony count of sodomy on a child and two second-degree felony counts of sexual abuse of a child, according to Fourth District Court records obtained Wednesday.
The records filed Feb. 10 in the abuse case don't identify any victim by name or indicate the relationship between Keith Brown and the alleged victims.
However, Kimball Thomson, a spokesman for The 5 Browns, said the charges involve Brown's daughters and group members Desirae, 32, Deondra, 30, and Melody, 26. He declined to release further information on the women.
"We can confirm that Keith Brown has been charged with sexual abuse involving his daughters," Thomson said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
The AP does not generally identify people who say they were sexually assaulted, but the Brown women have chosen to be identified and are cooperating with police, Thomson said.
Thomson said the Brown children severed their professional relationship with Keith Brown in October of 2008. He was once the manager of The 5 Browns but now has no connection, Thomson said.
Attorney Steven Shapiro, who represents 55-year-old Keith Brown, said he would not comment on the charges until Brown makes an initial court appearance set for Thursday in Provo.
Court documents state the allegations stem from separate occasions between November 1990 and October 1992, November 1990 and November 1992 and March 1997 and March 1998 in Utah County.
There are no statutes of limitation in Utah that prevent prosecutors from filing such sex crime charges.
Keith Brown and Lisa Brown, 54, the mother of the group members, were hospitalized after the Valentine's Day crash that mangled the Porsche beyond recognition in Little Cottonwood Canyon on the east side of the Salt Lake valley.

THIS IS SICK. AGAIN I SAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.
