In today's world, discernment is a critical tool for parents raising their children. This includes when dealing with schools that claim to be Christian. A parent or guardian needs to be diligent and discerning in all matters concerning their child or children.
This was the case for Misty Dunham when she observed an unusual homework assignment her 8-year-old daughter was given by her teacher. The assignment was to take a picture while reading in the bathtub, and this did not sit well with Misty.
Dunham reached out to the teacher saying, "I emailed the teacher [to say] 'Hey, you may want to explain that. Send something out to the parents. Let them know what the intentions are.' This just does not sound ok."
Mrs. Dunham was not satisfied with the teacher's response. "She did send out a message saying, 'you should be in pajamas, be in your uniform, have fun with it.' But it didn't sit right," Dunham explained. "A bathtub is not appropriate for a child to take a picture."
Misty is correct, in this day and age a parent cannot be too careful when it comes to the safety of their children. Too many breeches of trust have given parents a cause for concern even in potentially innocent situations with teachers, sitters, troop leaders or any adult in a position of authority over their children.
Dunham decided to bring this to the attention of the school's administration. The response came back much more defensive and combative than one would expect.
The school told her, "We have been sending this homework assignment for years, and you're the only one complaining about it. Just cover your child in pillows or pajamas," according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's police report.

If this has been an ongoing assignment over the years, how about the sheriff’s office investigate the photos to see if they are kids on PJ’s or uniforms, or were they actually naked? And if yes, how about some jail time for kiddie porn.
They didn’t handle this issue well, no doubt. They should have just said “that does seem a bit odd, I guess I hadn’t thought through the assignment”. Assignment retracted, problem solved.
I was just annoyed by the other review.
“annoyed by the other review”
It did seem a little racially charged didn’t it.
Be real nice to know if this is TX, NC, AR, Al, FL, or some other state.....
