(Jonathan Hayward / THE CANADIAN PRESS) A high-school teacher in northern B.C. has been handed a one-day suspension for misconduct for making a remark that made a student feel 'uncomfortable and awkward,' according to the professional regulator. Ingrid Anne Stengler was teaching Grade 9 in the Prince Geoge school district in 2023 when the incident occurred, a consent resolution agreement posted online Tuesday by the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation said. 'Stengler told Student A, in front of Student A's classmates, to 'get to work or I will kill you.' Student A reported feeling uncomfortable and awkward as a result of this. One of Student A's classmates reported feeling 'weird' after Stengler said this,' according to the agreement. Stengler had been issued a 'letter of expectation' over similar conduct the previous year, telling her to 'use words with students that are not hurtful in their meaning and/or that cannot be perceived as threats, even when said in a joking manner,' the agreement noted. Imposing a one-day suspension was deemed appropriate in light of the previous warning and because Stengler 'failed to create a positive learning environment,' the agreement said. The teacher was also required to complete a course on creating a positive environment.
