Mr. Thorson is a very influential man. He's done nothing but help other students. The person who reported him shouldve thought twice about turning her homework in. Maybe he wouldn't have sworn. Every single teacher had sworn in class at least once. People need to grow the hell up and deal with it instead of being a pussy about it.

One comment should not get you suspended. It would be one thing to swear often, but he was clearly frustrated with his students because they were not doing their job! Are the students being punished for not doing what was asked of them? I am a teacher and I feel his frustration.

Mr. Thorson was one of thee best and most influential reasons why I graduated. He was an amazing teacher, I respect and look up to that man more than some of the adults I know today. He would never say anything that would potentially harm the fragile and easily molded minds that he changes with his words of wisdom every single day. This man deserves his job. I will stand by him 100%

This is not a matter of decency or propriety, in a world where television exists and the F word is blared in popular music; this has become an issue of integrity on the part of Rochester Public Schools. Having gone there, I am not optimistic, as I am uncomfortably familiar with the nature of the human beings who administrate it. But I will say my piece. It is a fact that all the technical training you receive in high school will be repeated your freshman year of college. It is a fact that learning to effectively learn is one of the only things you really take away from high school. It is another fact that of all the many secondary skills you pick up in this period of education, the ability to speak, to arrange your thoughts so as to answer questions fluidly, and to marshal your thoughts into a coherent sentence, paragraph, and argument; these are the most important things we teach kids. It is their skill with these things that sets them apart as adults and contributing members of society, and makes them ready to face the rigors of term papers, thesis presentations, and dialectic conferencing with their peers, which are all inevitable things should they continue to graduate schools. If they do not, and choose to pursue careers outside academics and sciences, these skills will serve them better than any knowledge of algebra or chemistry, and will encourage their self-betterment massively more than physical education. If the goal of Rochester Public Schools is to make students ready for the challenges of life after high school, to prime them for success and set them apart as luminaries of our country and of the world, we need more teachers like Jon Thorson. As this page and the several others have shown, he makes students excited to learn; how often do you honestly see that? Do you think it's easy for him to do that? Do you think replacing him and those like him would be a simple matter? It is difficult, and it would not be simple. The poor treatment of this sort of te
