The third-grade teacher of White House advisor Stephen Miller has been put on paid leave two days after she claimed he ate glue in her classroom.

Nikki Fiske, who teaches at Franklin Elementary School in Santa Monica, Calif., was placed on home assignment pending a review, said spokesperson Gail Pinsker, who emphasized it was “non-disciplinary in nature.”

On Oct. 10, the 73-year-old educator reminisced about her former pupil in an article for The Hollywood Reporter.

“I remember he would take a bottle of glue — we didn’t have glue sticks in those days — and he would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it.

I thought it a violation of teacher ethics when I thought she was retired.

I talk about a kid in my class to another parent, my admins are all over me. Even official discipline referrals are single-kid specific, and if they refer to others that the student interacted with the others are just "another student" or "student 2". I know who student 2 is, the administrator knows, and if you look at all the referrals, it's easy to figure out. But they're FERPA protected.
