Know Your Teacher

Another KYx acronym from the educational identity realm: Know Your Teacher. A South Carolina school district didn’t:

“On Thursday, the Laurens County School District 55 Superintendent Jody Penland announced a teacher at Waterloo Elementary will “no longer serve” as a teacher at the school.”

Why? Because she wasn’t who she said she was.

“School officials discovered Bryia Lattimore Scott of Simpsonville was impersonating Viola Church in order to gain employment at Waterloo Elementary.”

Scott was arrested, and bond was set at $5,000.
