WOLFEBORO, N.H. -- An English teacher is being closely monitored at Kingswood Regional High School after administrators said she assigned an inappropriate essay topic to her students. Jack Robertson, superintendent of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, said the teacher asked students to respond to the question: "If you knocked your brother down, would you urinate in his mouth?" The question was posed as part of creative writing assignment to a class of about 12 or 13 seniors. Robertson said the question was designed to help motivate students to improve their writing, but he said the teacher lacked good judgment in assigning the question. Administrators found out about the question after a student approached another teacher for help with the assignment. That teacher told the school principal about it. School officials said the assignment didn't have to do with a book the students were reading. The district said she's a good teacher with a track record of motivating her students. "While on the one hand, I appreciate her interest in trying to get kids to write, there are other topics and there are more appropriate prompts that could create that same kind of interest," Robertson said. The question had some parents and residents what made the teacher think posing the question was appropriate. Resident Lucille Cloutier said her granddaughter attends the high school. "I think there's some people who feel they can do anything they want to do and say anything they want to say, whether they're teaching young minds or whether they're not," she said. Robertson said that given the teacher's good record, he never expected something like this to happen. The district said a supervisor is now monitoring the teacher's assignments. Officials said the hope is that she continues to motivate her students in more appropriate ways. Source __________________ this would have been a very fun essay to write. -bigsmiles
That's just a stupid question to give to a kid to answer, it's kinda funny but stupid.... no wonder the parents are pissed...lol
Hmmm .. I think the teacher meant it in a sarcastic way .. his/her main purpose is for the students to write .. I am sure things will not be nasty because "your brother" ... what can you write or how bad can you go?? so yeah ..
hahaa funny as hell, but still she should've tested whether the students can take a joke first i guess, definitely inappropriate topic for that level of education.
I would not urinate in my brother's mouth 1) I don't have a brother 2) Even if I have a brother, I wouldn't knock him down 3) Even if I have a brother, and I happen to knock him down, I wouldn't urinate in my brother's mouth as I would not want him to see my cock
these are senior in high school .. they're about to enter college .. in fact, some probably had sexual relationship already .. can't even distinguish and take a joke like this .. hmm ..
LOL, that's an awesome topic to write about. It'll be more awesome if it was "If you knocked your brother down, would you take a dump in his mouth?" j/k.
-ohmyI don't think it's funny,i just think that it's an inappropriate essay. I've seen some weird essay but never an essay like this
high school means you cant leave campus for lunch/ sign papers for field trips/ attendance and role taking for each block/can't even be seen out of campus on school hours/ grades sent home to parents. so yea doesn't even matter if its seniors in high school, it is still highschool and the joke is definitely gonna get a complaint.
