Edmonton teacher fired for giving zeros gets new job [View all]

The Edmonton teacher who was fired for giving his students zeros has got a new job at a local private school.

Lynden Dorval, a former physics teacher at Ross Sheppard High School, was suspended in May for giving students zeros for work that wasn't handed in or tests not taken.

That method went against the school's policy of not awarding zeros and on Friday Dorval found out he was fired.

However, less than one week after his termination, Dorval has been offered a new job at Tempo School.

This story was hot on LBN when I first posted about Dorval back in May. Why would a school fire this teacher for doing very basic factual grading? This story will confirm the evils of public education in the minds of certain people in the US (even though this is a Canadian school).
