Oh come on, hon. A "second of bad ... career" ... Ok, if you are an airline pilot (Hi, BG
) or a cardiac surgeon, or a burglar I can see it. But to wreck your career as a teacher, it should take more than what happened. If you waste half your class with a Glock, or, on a more serious note, cause significant emotional or psychological damage ... now, that should wreck a career. But this ... it's a mere storm in a milkshake.
Of course, there was the recent case of a teacher in Edmonton, Alberta who was fired for giving students zeros for missed assignments.
Fortunately, he got a better job at a school which still believes that, while students can succeed by putting in some effort, failure is always an option.
