Hi, thank you for your opinion. Yes, Mrs. Miceli did speak harshly, and she may have gone overboard, however, we all make mistakes. Mrs. Miceli gave a heartfelt and sincere apology, and I think that we should forgive her. There is also one more thing to remember. Mrs. Miceli gave us reminders multiple times for at least two months. She was kind, and patient. However, we, including myself, did not listen. At a certain point she did not know what else to do. She had to get our attention. Maybe she did not do it in the correct way, however, she has apologized and deserves to get a second chance. Also, this gives us a chance to step up and do what it takes to be an NHS member.

I worked with Mrs. Miceli last year as the NHS President of our chapter. Her genuine love for these students and passion for this program are inspiring. She does not deserve to be taken down when she has no fault.

Mrs. Miceli has high standards for us all, she has inspired me to work harder in school even when I fall behind and has been kind to give advice, having her be an NHS adviser is an honor I would like to keep.

Let's be understanding of our very hard working teacher, Mrs. Miceli, and let her know we don't hold this against her!

I think this is a commendable effort. But I think that saying she is at "no fault" is not the truth. She said that this NHS group had no character, were worthless and lazy. As a teacher there are ways that we need to motivate students. Not attacking their character. You have to realize there were students who were beyond upset with how she handled her frustration, which was verbally abusive. She knew she was wrong by not putting the recorded meeting up on the boards. Furthermore, by you doing this you are putting other students who were quite upset by her verbal attack aside saying that it was ok to be told that they were lazy and worthless. It is essentially the core of this issue. As an educator we need to find positive ways to encourage our students, not tear them down. You must think of both sides and the things that were said were not out of passion, but someone who was not in control of their emotions. That is never right.

I feel like Mrs. Miceli's comments to us at that Live Lesson were completely justified. She's only trying to make us the best that we can be. It would be a big loss to have her step down as our advisor.

Mrs.Miceli was simply frustrated with the NHS crew. Yes, she could have done explained herself in a more professional way, but the NHS members are also at fault. Do not let her step down for it is all of our faults.

I've had Mrs. Miceli as a teacher and a NHS adviser for two years now and I can't imagine why she should step down! Mrs. Miceli definitely needs to stay!
