This teacher took to the internet for sympathy after talking about a coworker behind his back with their microphone still on, but she failed to mention that the person with whom she was gossiping was a literal child.
Let's take a moment to break down the various levels of unprofessionalism that are embedded in this story. First, there's talking smack about coworkers.
