Reason 616 to Homeschool: 4th Grade Teacher Won’t Terrorize School
Meet Susan Romanyszyn. She used to be a 4th Grade Teacher at Longstreth Elementary School in Warminster, PA until she was denied a request to teach the 5th grade.
Most teachers who are angry about a missed promotion would apply to another school, file a grievance through the union, or simply try harder next year for the position. But Romanyszyn took a “special” route to get the job. She planted terrorizing bomb threats and fake anthrax in hopes of chasing out a 5th grade teacher so she could get the job. And she tried to pin it on the students.

A former finalist for a national teaching award is now accused of igniting an eight-day reign of terror at a Warminster elementary school because she was frustrated that she had to teach the fourth grade.
In just over one week in October, Susan Romanyszyn, a 45-year-old teacher at Longstreth Elementary School, placed 15 separate threatening messages around the school, placed nails in the school’s parking lot and put a suspected explosive device in a student’s desk.
Romanyszyn, who was charged Thursday with 17 counts of making terroristic threats and faces up to 10 years in jail, scribbled messages on school walls and sheets of paper that threatened bomb and gun violence because she had been assigned to teach fourth grade, Henry said. Romanyszyn had requested to teach the fifth grade this school year, Henry said.
The messages, which police said Romanyszyn left, were designed to look like they were created by a student and were written in sloppy handwriting, with numerous misspellings and some with crudely drawn cartoons depicting gun violence.
“Your so stuped I have to kill you,” read one message on a folded up piece of notebook paper that was found by a lunch monitor. “I won’t stop til you all die,” read another that was found by a teacher in the school gym.
Romanyszyn put a water bottle with a suspicious white power and screws into a student’s desk and scattered nails around the lot where teachers parked.
By threatening the school’s teachers and leaving a suspected bomb in a fifth-grade classroom, Romanyszyn figured a fifth-grade teacher would quit and she could become the replacement.
After turning herself in to Warminster police Tuesday afternoon, Romanyszyn was released after posting $100,000 of a $1 million bail.
Every kid was damn near strip-searched when they went to school. All because this bitch didn’t like her assignment. She was probably pissed off because she wasn’t getting as much child-love from 4th graders as she would get from 5th graders.
