PiscesFlorida Teacher Reportedly Suspended for Coercing 6-Year-Old Student to Clean Another's Urine
Despite her policy that students clean their own messes, Ensley said she told the girl to 'just clean it up,' then gave her Dolphin Dollars - play money given to students to encourage good behavior - as a reward for following those orders, the officer's report stated.
The girl's mother, Lisa Portieles, came to the school to complain two days later, triggering the call to police, and an internal investigation, TCPalm.com reported.
"It worries me because she's got a stack (of Dolphin Dollars) this big, and I'm just imagining if she's done that, what else did she do for that stack of dolphin cards?" Portieles told TCPalm.
Police and the state attorney's office concluded no crime was committed, but the school is conducting an its own probe to determine if school rules were broken, TCPalm.com reported.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a crime….it’s disgusting and unhealthy!
I don’t see anything wrong with this. Nobody is above using a mop, how is work ethic bad for kids?
There are many other far more appropriate ways to teach 6 year olds “work ethic” than making them clean up someone else’s urine. Hospital personnel can’t even clean up urine without gloves. Come on!
That is disgusting, no child should have to go clean up another kids pee, where is the janitors in that school, and why didn’t the lazy teacher just go and clean it up if it was no big deal. We just hear to many bad and stupid doings there in Florida, kids stolen, killed, etc, come on Florida get it together or something. Improve your state. dah
That’s what a school janitor is for.
mop up the pee pee
i don’t think so. The teacher should have found out who left the pee & had them clean it up, cleaned it up herself, or had the custodian take care of it.
Tennmom, you honestly think the kid who pissed in the floor is going to admit to it? don’t think so! the 6 year old could of said no to cleaning up another child’s urine, but probably WANTED the dolphin dollars!
Maybe I’m a little old fashioned or just old, but do schools not have janitorial services here in the 21st century? The teacher was wrong, she made a bad decision, but no one should take a poor judgement so far as to suspend the teacher. The suspension, unless there are other circumstances we are not aware of is all poor judgement.
I did forget to mention in my previous comments that buying good behavior is ill directed. Rewarding a student for exceptionally good behavior or test scores is acceptable but paying them to do it sends a very poor message.
This is just strange to me…when I taught if there was a problem like this in the bathroom, we called the janitor to mop it up..call me crazy!
