Guess who’s NOT getting Teacher of the Year award! An Oklahoma middle school math teacher by the name of Heather Cagle, that’s who! The crazy lady has been fired from her teaching job at R.J. Wells Middle School this week, after deciding for whatever reason back in October to bring 11 of her students with her in her little Honda Accord on a snack run to Walmart…2 of which were in the trunk.

“No parent or grandparent or guardian should ever expect that any teacher, particularly not an experienced teacher, will take their children off campus in the trunk of a personal vehicle,” school district attorney Karen Long said.

Cagle has been working as not only a math teacher but as yearbook advisor and a cheerleading coach at the school for the last 10 years, but threw all of that away when she drove the students to Walmart one quarter of a mile away because she wanted to reward them with Goldfish crackers.

“This was a terrible mistake,” Cagle told the school board during her hearing. “I didn’t want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to do something nice.”

The video was captured on the school’s surveillance camera, and despite about 50 supporters showing up at the hearing, the board voted 4-1 for her dismissal, citing student safety.

Do you think she should have been let go?
