I never had this Thorson as a teacher. I heard he was well liked. Has any of the idiots enforcing this ever actually been into a classroom with kids? Sure, they can watch bloody murder all day on fox, but god forbid they start swearing. Idiots.

10 years ago I had Thorson as a teacher. He was a great teacher then, and I can imagine that he hasn't changed much since.

One of the best teachers I had at Mayo. This is absolutely punishment ridiculous. When a student can swear in class, even at a teacher, and have to consequences on one hand. On the other a teacher understandably frustrated swears and is suspended. It just doesn't make sense.

Had him as my English teacher more than 10 years ago. I don't remember many teachers, but he was great. If teachers who may curse on occasion are forced out, shouldn't students be forced to leave for similar infractions?

The man doesn't deserve to lose his job and earnings over harmless words.

while I do not think that cursing in the classroom is generally acceptable, this man has not aimed his comments at anyone directly. AND he has made speech fun for the students - what a challenge!

I may of not know Mr. Thorson personally, but I was a student all four years at Mayo High School and I believe we all make mistakes. Trust me, I wouldn't still be in the Air Force if mistakes were allowed.

If the kids love this teacher so much—let him teach.

So are we suspending every kid who swears at school too?

Suspending him is f'n ridiculous! Every kid, especially high school aga, probably hears that word used several times a day! Some from their own parents!

I think it is sad that just last year a paraprofessional can phyiscally abuse an autistic child and gets a different position working in the school district. But, a teacher who is obviously well liked slips and says a word that is heard everyday and gets suspended. I think Rochester Public Schools need to figure out their priorites!

This tends to be alcable, kids swear a lot now a days. Saying the f word will cause attention. I think if he wants to teach he should be able to.
