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.
