Explaining that her statements indicated a failure to understand and implement the districts goal of providing a comprehensive education to all children, Jefferson High School officials reportedly fired 10th-grade chemistry teacher Jennifer Steenman today after she was heard saying she learns more from her students than they do from her. I just love being around the studentsI honestly think I get more out of these classes than the kids do, said Steenman, who was later summoned into a meeting with the schools principal where she was informed that her contract would be terminated immediately for gross incompetence. I learn something new from them each and every day. They teach me so muchfar more than I could ever teach them. The dismissal reportedly follows a series of reprimands from administrators, who recorded Steenman on numerous occasions stating that her curriculum was less about chemistry, per se, and more about learning how to learn.
