Ok this stupid (yes stupid!) teacher of yours needs to be fired. In a way she is acting sexually in class, sort of abusing, in a sexual way kids by making them listen to the boy who had to tell about how the girl looked in the bakini, how he felt etc. It sounds like the next thing she is going to do is ask him about the first time he had sex!!! That is wrong! You better believe that if Dylan EVER had a teacher like that, I would go straight to the board and complain, and also call the police. She is abusing kids in a sexual way by talking about sex etc. This is a discussion NOT for the classroom! She does sound like a wacko!


I think you should print out all of these replies and send them to the board!

Agreed! Insane teacher! I HATE and I repeat HATE the writing assignments I have to do on love stories! I can't even imagine your assignment YLL! Gosh, I hate love stories all together. Why do people have to write these things, and even if they did, why are we forced to read them at school??? We're not gaining anything by reading them. Just learning how weird people's minds are.

Let's see, to clear up a couple of questions:

Yes, there was an alternative assignment- that she told us about AFTER we talked to the secretary. And by that point, I already finshed the dating assignment.

She also made us read this packet about going steady. To tell you the truth I haven't gone out with anybody either because a) they are so pervered and so immature at this age b) half are all pot heads c) I'm not into dating right nowd) the list goes on.

My mom did write a letter to the teacher- but I didn't give it to her, because we went to the principal instead. If I just gave her my letter, only I would be excused, and my friends would have to read. This way, if we told the principal, we would all be excused and the fact that an old perverted bag is teaching English, would be brought to her attention. If I find the letter my mom wrote I will post it on here, I can't find it right now.

I'll have to see what my mom says about going to the Board...sounds good to me!! Thank you all for all the comments too, by the way.

Wow, I am shocked that an adult would assign something like this. It does should like she has her own agenda...whatever it may be.

Glad you and your parents are taking action.

Re: Hiroshima in an English class. I actually think this is a good idea, you are much more open to other opinions in this setting. Are you getting a lot from that book?

Personally, I don't feel this topic is appropriate for an English class, or any class in school. I'm shocked that it was a teachers idea. Personally, I'd go to try to get through and talk to the principal. If he doesn't take it any further to make this teacher understand that it's not appropriate, I would go to your parents and the parents of other students, especially the girls who also didn't agree with the assignment and maybe they can go even higher by taking the situation to a board meeting. I just can't believe you were put in such a situation by a teacher and really think something needs to be done to make this teacher realize that that is not the place for such topics!
