FARMINGTON, N.M. A Shiprock, New Mexico, middle school principal has been placed on leave for allegedly displaying a poster listing students who wouldn't be graduating to the next grade.
The Farmington Daily Times reports (http://bit.ly/1TgvAEY) that district officials put Principal J. Kaibah Begay on leave Wednesday.
Central Consolidated School District spokesman James Preminger says the administration learned Tuesday that Tse Bit'a'I Middle School had put up a poster in a hallway identifying 100 students who wouldn't be promoted.

Preminger said Friday that interim Superintendent Colleen Bowman issued an apology, calling the poster an "ill-conceived attempt" to motivate students.

(5,668 posts)even up thru high school, it was totally anonymous I knew some kids who would be given a diploma or whatever but it would be blank. so nobody but them would know (well I knew I was never a big fan of that high school. It was hypocritical. in that if a student was caught stealing you'd get kicked out. but if a teacher was caught stealing (Walmart) she had to apologize in front of the whole school then suddenly she was my bad math teacher again. smh
