    Violent Math Problems Lead To Teacher's Firing from Center City Public Charter School's Trinidad Campus

    WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- The teacher who sent home those violence-laced math problems at Center City Public Charter School's Trinidad campus in Northeast D.C. has been fired as of Thursday.

    SEE THE ORIGINAL STORY

    "I was absolutely distressed," says Dr. Beverley Wheeler, the CEO of Center City PCS, which oversees its Trinidad elementary school in NE.

    The stories deal with fantastically morbid and violent topics. In one story, a tiger catches Africans, Americans and Indians and cooks them in ovens.

    "It doesn't follow anything we do. We are about character, excellence and service and I found them to be violent and racist," said Wheeler.

    Wheeler says instead of using the resources provided in the school for the mandated 20 homework problems on Monday, the third grade teacher downloaded them off the HomeschoolingParadise.com website. She says the teacher used "bad judgment."

    Several parents have insisted that the teacher, who they say is a minister, would never have sent those problems home, unless someone made her do it.

    "Not true," said Wheeler. She explained that the mistake was worthy of firing because parents trust the school to look at what they're putting in front of their children.

    She said that even if a teacher were told to send those problems home, she or he should question it.

    Yeah what about those simple little practical math problems like two trains are on the same track both traveling at 75 MPH and they are 75 miles apart. How long and how far will they each travel before all the terrified, screaming ppl have blood and guts spewing by being impaled and crushed by steel parts.



    (a lot sooner than I will solve this math problem) blank stare @ you

    One of the banes of being connected to the World Wide Web is the cultural clashes.

    I noticed some of those ridiculous questions come from Singapore. You know as in Maylasia one of the most fucked up, totalitarian countries on the planet. What can you expect to pass as childhood humour from such a place?

    Someone from homeschooling paradise needs to edit their source material thoroly and expunge the links to that disgusting stuff from dictatorships. (Unless that's who runs the site)

    I'm laughing and shaking my head at the same time. Any teacher who can't motivate their students to do the class and homework needs to perhaps talk to reevaluate their own teaching methods.
