The first one emphasises the teacher's youth (and therefore makes them seem more vulnerable), it also gives no reason for their dismissal, suggesting they are not to blame.
The second is lays much more blame on the teacher. 'Sacked' is a more judgemental word, and 'all-fail storm' suggests a much more extreme circumstance.

The first stresses the age group of the teacher and would lead one to suspect that what follows is that the reason for his dismissal will be some factor aligned with this.
The second details already the reason why the teacher has been sacked and is non-age related since a teacher of any age,one assumes could be dismissed/sacked for an all-fail class.
I see no reason to discriminate between the words 'dismissed' and 'sacked',indeed the sole quoted synonym for sacked (Dictionary.com) is 'to dimiss'
