An Ohio a high school teacher has been fired for napping during class. The Perkins Schools Board of Education voted Wednesday to fire Perkins High School teacher Carol Smith, 71, after a hearing officer found her conduct “totally unprofessional, inappropriate, unsafe, outrageous, flagrant and persistent and threatened the safety, security and welfare of the students.” Smith had been suspended without pay since April after allegations arose that she discussed pornographic magazines with her freshman history class. Students told investigators that Smith often arrived late and slept during a study hall period. Officials found Smith’s discussion of Playboy and Playgirl magazines during a discussion about yellow journalism was not grounds for dismissal – but said sleeping during class and arriving late left the students unsupervised and created safety concerns.
