When teachers aren't having sex with
students or being a positive influence they are making up dumb ass
assignments. Patricia Lorenzen who is a middle school teacher at
Kingsview Middle School asked her English students in four classes to
wrote a story describing how they would kill her. The story had to
have at least three gerunds (a form that is derived from a verb but
that functions as a noun), three infinitives (the basic form of a
verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or
tense) and three participles (a word formed from a verb and used as
an adjective). All shit that doesn't matter as an adult.
After complaints by some parents she
then thought that maybe this was a terrible idea. Some students had
already finished the work, likely with far too much glee and a speed
that terrified witnesses. The principal James D'Andrea issued a
statement.
“The teacher stated in the letter to
parents that she was trying to engage students in reviewing some
grammar concepts. However, she has acknowledged that she used poor
judgment with this assignment, and it absolutely should not have
occurred. She has apologized to parents and there have been no
further issues regarding her assignments. Since this is a personnel
matter, I can’t say more at this time. When this occurred more than
two months ago, I personally apologized on behalf of the school to
the parents who contacted me. The matter has settled down since that
time.” That's what he thinks.
