(LIKE SHE IS A CRIMINAL)
from the classroom, and she resigned as of June 30.
Norfolk Public Schools provides teachers with training on acceptable classroom behavior and practices, according to Norfolk school's public information officer Karen Tanner. She said the teacher violated school policy when she anointed her students.

There is going to come a time when all of this church and state - no prayer in the schools - parents not being able to extend that rod will come to an end...
For so long, it has showed a misjudgement on the part of all of this. When the lawmakers wake up it will be right on their doorstep and then what? They will be running to a church. Running trying to redo what has been done. Recognizing that this world is out of order, just because of the thoughts and opinions of the (politicians) themselves.
In my opinion this teacher done what was right..."IF" she needed to get control of her room. Casting out them demons, that kids bring to the classroom. But if she had the oil with the scent....that's what gave her away.
There is a way of doing this kind of thing... "IF" she was going through the motion of actually moving her hand in a noticeable rub.... well then here again...you busted!
She should have anointed without even touching... Anointed in the Spirit....OK! somebody don't know what I mean.
We'll sit at the table(another part of this blog) and talk about it real soon, keep checking back...ok!
And for the ones that know what I'm talking about....What is your opinion... I would love some feed back on this subject...
Then the article said "Teacher's Behavior" like she is a child. What has this world came too. I remember Weekly Religious Education in school, it was nice and it needs to return.
Even in my city there was a parent suing a school for Prayer at a Graduation.
I pray that this lady is able to move on and not be scared for life for this.
UNTIL NEXT TIME
READER BE BLESSED!!
