What is on her phone is private. What gives the superintendent the right to tell her it was inappropriate? Hiw woukd he feel a student picked uo his phone and browsed through his private information? Diez be lock his ohone all the tome? Why wasn't the student punished for invading her privacy? Did his parents not teach him it was wrong to touch or take anyone's property without asking? A 16 year old should know better....poor parenting.. GIVE HER JOB BACK AND PUNISH THE STUDENT.

The student who accessed the phone, took the picture of the photo(s) and forwarded said photos MUST be disciplined and educated to help him see what he did wrong in this matter.

This teacher's privacy was invaded. Her pictures were stolen. Not any different than a student stealing something from her purse. Reinstate her and punish the student.

This is bull. That kid should be expelled and the teacher should have her job if she isn't too embarrassed. She didn't do anything illegal. She married. Sex is healthy and normal. What is this country coming to.

I am appalled at the lack of disciplinary action for the student who caused all of this drama. He should be expelled, no questions asked. I am ashamed to live so close to a school district who would rather point an extra long finger at a teacher than discipline a student who committed a CRIMINAL act. If you want to punish her for having those photos on her phone, then pull out all the phones and look at the material on them. If you're going to throw stones, be fair about it. I'm glad I went to Spartanburg County schools because I would be embarrassed to be associated with administration such as this.

The school should not only undo the unjust forced resignation of Mrs. Arthur but also seek legal action against the student who invaded her privacy.

This is absolutely absurd that this teacher is being punished for this.

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, "[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue." In this case, someone's privacy was violated, going against the Constitution itself if the accuser is not punished. Arthur was the one whom is getting punished for a crime she did not commit.

Theft, privacy violation and the victim is punished. This is clearly wrong on so many levels and could possibly be sexist given how the district would handle this situation if this had been a male teacher.

I'm open minded and can usually see both sides to a story, but in this case my blood boils because the teacher did not do anything wrong. I repeat - did not do ANYTHING wrong. The POS student who took the phone is responsible. The POS student shared the photo(s), not the teacher. The POS student caused ALL of the problems.

Instead of firing her the perpetrator should have been brought up on chargers for theft.

A teacher's phone is their personal item and the student would not appreciate if someone went into their phone and shared with anyone. It was wrong and uncalled for. The teacher does not deserve to lose their job over private information in their cell phone.

The student that stole content from the teacher and violated her privacy committed some very egregious actions and should be punished accordingly. That the teacher has lost her job sends a very damaging message to children regarding his behavior, as it seems his intent to hurt her was rewarded.
