A South Jersey teacher has resigned from her position with the Winslow Township School District after her profanity-filled tiradeThe incident occurred Feb. 2 shortly after Jai Wright, 16, a junior at Winslow Township High School, had completed a quiz in Spanish class, according to his father, the Rev. David Wright.
The teacher, identified by Wright as Melanie Lewellen, took the phone from Jai, but later returned it, he said.“She gave [the phone] back in a cussing tirade,” said Wright. “She begins to curse and curse.” Jai was written up for the cell phone use and sent to the office. An administrator gave him a four-day suspension, his father said, and made the teen delete the video from his phone. But the teen had already sent the videoIt was the second time the teen was reprimanded by Lewellen for having his phone out, his father said. Profanity was used in that incident in November, and the teacher later apologized to the parents, he said.
“It’s a f— zoo in this class, every day,” she said on the recording. “...You do not go around behaving like this in front of your parents. Don’t do it in front of me either, period. Am I understood?”
She can’t talk like that, but I’d love to see and hear what led upto it
