Role Model Teacher Gets Fired After Wedding For A Ridiculous 'Rule'

When parents drop their children off at school, they hope they're leaving them in the hands of patient, caring, and qualified people. That's what the families of St. Peter and Paul Catholic School in Miami, Florida thought they'd found in Jocelyn Morffi. Parents and students loved her! So you can imagine their outrage when they came to school one day and found that she was missing. Strangely enough, she'd left all her belongings behind, and it was only later that they learned the reason for her swift exit.

Beloved Teacher

Jocelyn Morffi is a 32-year-old woman who lives in Miami, Florida. She was a first-grade teacher and she loved what she did, the kids loved her back, and the parents adored her as a teacher. Everything was perfect — or so it seemed.

The Mother Teresa Of Teachers

Jocelyn was well known by the parents and staff and was one of the most popular teachers at the school. Parents of her students praised her and referred to Miss Morffi as the "Mother Teresa of teachers," and for a good reason!

Tried To Be A Source of Hope

As a teacher of children who are so young and impressionable, Jocelyn found it difficult to talk to her students about the tragedies that occur around the world on a daily basis. She wanted her conversations with them to be filled with hope rather than fear.

Volunteered At Shelter

Together with her class, she started brainstorming ideas on how to give back to the community and instill hope in her students. They came up with the idea to volunteer at their local homeless shelter.
