My last post in the 'man arrested for paying in pennies' thread, replying to a teacher who read the student's most personal thoughts out loud in class, got me to thinking about something else.

You're probably familiar with my comments about that little nightmare neighbor boy who used to live across from us...when he was 10, and they went back to school after summer vacation, first week they didn't do anything in school, just 'learning about the virtues', what the hell? But I digress, next week all the students in one class had to write a composition explaining 'if your mother was a flavor, what would she taste like and what smell would she have?' At 11 I thought that was perverted as hell, and I still think it is, does anyone else? If my child brought home that report to do, I'd be going down there demanding to know 'what the HELL is going on around here?'

In "my time" that wouldn't have raised eyebrows because not everything had to have sexual innuendos. Today, well. . . Any teacher assigning that to pre-teens probably reads a LOT of interesting stuff!

That is a really lame assignment. And very strange no matter what the intent. I have to say it would be interesting to know what the kids came up with!

It's kinda odd.
