Could a teacher get fired for calling a student a stupid b!tch?
I go to a Catholic high school in Central Florida. Today in detention the teacher supervising us called a student a stupid b!tch. The student's name was pronounced wrong when the teacher was calling roll and he made a comment something like "the name's blah blah blah, dude" and the teacher got mad and said "Don't call me a dude, what's your problem, etc. etc, stupid b!tch". I learned after the detention that the teacher got mad because he was Brazilian and apparently dude is an offensive term in Brazil. I don't think that excuse would fly though because we're in America, not Brazil. Any insight would be appreciated.

that teacher could be fired, go to your parents and the head of the school

That teacher should be fired, but if you are in a private school it may or may not happen- depending on how desperately teachers are needed.
5 :
Maybe. However in Brazil, being called a stupid b!tch is actually a compliment there. It gets lost in the translation. Call him a stupid b!tch to let him know that you're in the know!

He probably will end up fired. Teachers have been fired for much less. Never mind calling a student a curseword. He's suppose to keep his cool even when the students are acting like common sense was never invented. After all he's the adult.

isn't your avatar of Anne Frank? (no, a teacher can't do that anywhere...even if it IS true).
8 :
a teacher could get fired yes.. especially because its a catholic school.. will that teacher get fired it all depends on whether or not the school really needs that teacher.. thats hilarious

If he were in Brazil I would understand but as you said he is not. This should definelty not be accepted. If you went to his country and said something offensive without knowing, I'm sure they wouldn't tolerate it. As an educator in the United States of America he should know what's right from wrong in this country.
