 L.A. Unified Supt. John Deasy's classroom dust-up with a substitute teacher has produced an outpouring of responses and advice. (Al Seib / Los Angeles Times / October 3, 2011) |

Shankling is the substitute teacher fired by Supt. John Deasy last fall, after he scolded her for giving 12th-grade students what he considered busywork: copying class procedures from a sheet of paper
