Dacula’s Doc Gets Sacked
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So the Dacula High School science teacher who cut a football player’s lab grade in half because the student slept during class got fired.
The board said Larry “Doc” Neace violated board policy when he lowered the student’s grade as a disciplinary measure. Neace said he has been penalizing students in such a manner for a decade.
More than 200 people, including many students, showed up to support the teacher, and the board member who represents Dacula voted against his firing.
Hmmmm…would anyone like to make a comment?
