The Vox Box

Teacher resigns due to controversy after cheerleading in class

Since this clip aired, this teacher resigned due to the controversy.

Some say the whole thing was blown out of proportion--others say the teacher was being innapropriate.

QUESTION: What do you think? Did this teacher deserve to lose her job?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
