My first reaction was "what the hell was this teacher thinking?!" Then I realized the problem was, they weren't thinking. The teacher responsible for these math lessons needs to explain to the parents and students why they thought this was OK.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694026809022095167.post-76707572972272533252012-01-11T15:07:20.493-05:002012-01-11T15:07:20.493-05:00Boogie: I am with you, how can you call yourself a...Boogie: I am with you, how can you call yourself a principal and attempt to defend this? At the very least there should have been talk of disciplinary action.<br /><br />Teresa: Unbelievable indeed. I could not call myself a teacher with a straight face if I could not find a better way to educate. This was reprehensible!<br /><br />Shantel: I am with you, a degree in education does not equate commonsense, unfortunately :-(<br /><br />Pamela D. Hart: LOL! I thought about kicking their butts too!

Slav...Oh.my.gosh. That is wrong on so many levels.<br /><br />Slaves, cotton, beatings...and they want to know why Black parents are upset? Really? How the heck do you even explain that to an EIGHT year old? <br /><br />And what if there are children who are being abused? Can you just imagine the horror they felt at the "beatings" question!<br /><br />I want to "beat" whomever made up this test. Coalesce my butt. Absolutely idiotic is more like it.Pamela Zydelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455065276657597689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694026809022095167.post-49569401940034307692012-01-09T14:52:10.553-05:002012-01-09T14:52:10.553-05:00You are not being oversensitive at all.

I know I have to check my sensitivity meter every now and then, but this is totally out of line. <br /><br />Apparently, a degree in Education does not come with side order of reasonable common sense.

No defense, it's just wrong on every level. Seems those folks are going to need some additional education and training. Let's hope they get it.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376034164044461868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694026809022095167.post-6559859550576544152012-01-09T12:40:23.094-05:002012-01-09T12:40:23.094-05:00No, you are not being over sensitive.

Un-freaking-real how ignorant our teachers can be! I really feel sorry for those students and their families.boogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743211135994550803noreply@blogger.com
