A Florida high school teacher raised eyebrows this week after allegedly writing “WTF is this?” on a student’s homework.

Melinda Smith, the student’s mother, told Panama City’s WJHG on Tuesday she was shocked when her son showed her his science homework with the comment: “WTF is this? absolutely no credit” written on top

OK, so the teacher used an acronym which includes bad language and should be reprimanded for it. But now I’m curious about the homework assignment and why this kid’s was so bad that he deserved no credit.

This is not news. As a retired college teacher, I have been tempted to express similar criticisms over the years. But do agree the WTF is a just another sign of our declining culture.

Any bets on whether the kid listens to hip hop music and hears far worse than that?

Recall a couple of DECADES ago when the failure rate for Ed.students was absurd?
Solution for Flori-DUH? was to lower the standards..Now we are overrun with teachers who, if they had to take a test on their own subject,would fail....

LOL.

Panama City proud!

I lived there while stationed at Tyndall AFB. Nothing from that place surprises me.

Cannot judge this story until we see what the student handed in for this “report”. If it was trash, the techer was correct. Let’s not pretend to be shocked by the use of the F word. Kids these days use it more than they say “I”.

Yeah. Using the F word in an acronym is a real snafu. Never would have happened in the old days.

When teaching my jr high students about the Depression, they’d always get a chuckle out of the Southern Tennant Farmers’ Union—like everything from that alphabet-soup time better known by its initials.

That teacher needs to be fired and never get another teaching job.

As the culture degrades even more, WTF has become part of the everday vocabulary.

Next you know, people will start using SNAFU in everyday language.
