Occasionally we find bad bosses outside of corporate America. Whether it’s politicians or entertainers, people who’ve been given a lot of responsibility and absolutely made a mess of it will find themselves mentioned on the site. Today it’s teachers. And it’s a doozy.
Try to keep up with me on this one. A couple of middle school teachers came to blows in a Clayton County, Georgia school after a love letter hit Facebook. A fight broke out on Monday between Teachers Chaka Cobb and Ebony Smith after the women learned they were both involved with the same male teacher, who also teaches at the school. Cobb, who happens to be pregnant by Professor Feel-Good said she found a love letter from Smith on the man’s Facebook page. The line that probably set it off? "I am in love with you. I am tired of being your every blue moon [expletive]." Cobb of course responded with a hot Facebook message of her own. When she arrived at school on Monday, Smith confronted her and told her to “never do that again.” I imagine that’s when things escalated beyond the verbal realm.
Cobb had the assistant principal brought in, but the fight didn’t stop there, it spilled into a classroom full of kids even as several other teachers tried to break it up. Students said they heard Smith yell "[Expletive], you don’t want none of this" and "get the [expletive] off me" while teachers tried to restrain her. On Monday, police charged Smith with simple assault and disorderly conduct. Cobb was charged with disorderly conduct. Read the full, sordid tale here.
Half of me is laughing and half is so disgusted. How can we expect our kids to handle their lives better when the adults around them are doing such a horrible job? When teachers start acting like out of control teenaged celebrities and I’m writing about them here, things are getting way out of control.
Really bad bosses aren’t limited to the boardroom. Send your really bad boss stories from academia, politics or the entertainment industry to denised@reallybadboss.com, and if they’re really good, we’ll post them here!
