deal or no deal

A lecturer got sacked from blackburn college for appearing on deal or no deal. I think its wrong what she did especially just before the exam. Don't get me wrong she is a good teacher, she taught me last year.

12 june her episode will be broadcasted. hope she does good.
What are your thoughts about her?

I'm not surprised she was sacked! Had I been her employer I would have sacked her too!

I agree, let's hope she does well on the show .... or at the very least, covers for loss of earnings during her un-employment.

Re: deal or no deal

I think its right she was sacked. She was warned beforehand what would happen and she still went. Was it worth it or not? She will find it hard now to find another job in education because she took unauthorised leave during term time.

"Mrs Brand-Parkinson continually ignored instruction that she was not permitted to take time off during the college term time to appear on a game show from her line manager, the vice-principal and the college principal.

"She also ignored advice from her union representative that by appearing on the game show she would face dismissal for gross misconduct."


Mrs Brand-Parkinson, a mum of one of Mowbray Avenue, Blackburn, said she had won a prize that was "not life-changing" on the show, which will be aired on June 12.

most of the other teachers also wish her well, although some don't.

at first she was suspended and then she got the sack

Re: deal or no deal

no sympathy at all she weighed the odds and took her chance knowing the likely outcome.

She took the gamble and lost her job. It said in the LET that she'd won some money but that it wasn't a life changing amount.

I'm glad Blackburn College put it's students before her request for time off to take part in this show, even her union advised her she was being stupid and didn't back her.

She took six days off work to take part in the show.

I wonder if she'll share her winnings with her students who may not pass their exams because of her gamble?

Ahhhh but nothing was said to what kind of virus it was!!!!!! Who's to say there's not something more than a bit of hand holding going on.????

hee hee, only joking. I suppose with them being in the studio altogether every day and then all staying in the same hotel, somethings bound to get passed around!!

Re: deal or no deal

Another post dissapeared, thi site is getting worse. How can appearing on a game show be gross missconduct. Is it because it may encourage the students to take up gambling?
