The incident sparked conversations about professionalism and privacy, and the school district made its decision to fire Miata within hours.
Miata Borders, a 24-year-old substitute teacher at Lake Cormorant High School in DeSoto County, Mississippi, was terminated on her first day, October 17, 2025 due to policy violations against recording minors, leading to her ban from substituting in the district.

Mississippi substitute teacher Miata Borders fired on first day
Miata Borders is a woman from Mississippi who was recently fired from her job on her first day as a substitute teacher at Lake Cormorant High School. Miata was fired after she proudly posted a TikTok on October 17, announcing her “new hustle in life” as a substitute teacher. The self-proclaimed content creator documented her day in the classroom while teaching, lounging at a desk, and walking through the school halls. However, her clip sparked backlash and consequences after she commented on a female student while laughing during a pep rally parade, stating:
Damn, shorty, sheesh.”
The comment was seemingly regarded as inappropriate and unprofessional, particularly since it involved minors. The now-viral TikTok video managed to rack up over 2.2 million views and quickly reached school officials, with DeSoto County Schools and staffing agency Kelly Services eventually acting fast and terminating her contract and banning her from future employment in the district.

Dang, well, at least you made history—hired and fired in the same day.”
