BTW keep tabs on the comments that this teacher makes to your child.
Have no fear the FReepers will follow through if this guy keeps up with this game.
A suggestion take this to the next step to the Dept. of Education for your state. I am sure they would be very interested to hear the text that he is using. As I told you earlier all lesson plans must be recorded and must follow local and state requirements.
UPDATE: My daughter was up very late last night working on her essay. My wife helped her considerably as did the comments in this thread. She decided that the best thing to do was to write an essay somewhat like what was assigned. The assignment was to write an essay giving your opinion on whether you agree or disagree with each of the fake "laws and principles". She wrote a short introductory paragraph and then talked about each "law or principle". Those which were opinion, value statements, or just plain nutty and wrong she took to task by stating so. She ended with a paragraph about how such opinions don't belong in a science book and that it calls the whole science book into question. I'll try to post it later.
My wife and I will sit in on her class this morning and we will meet afterwards with the administrators to get an update from them about why the teacher is still using the fake science book. I will probably warn them that I am going to have to escalate things until the textbook is gone. Basically, I want them to know that their lives will be far easier if they use the brand new real science textbooks that they purchased and have unused, onhand right now or they can have me make their lives difficult until they do. They don't know how experienced I am at such things and what resources I have at my disposal or they would have already taken appropriate action. I guess that they may be about to find out.
I'll keep everyone up to date as to the outcome this morning and what the administrators say and do. Soon, I may need to post contact information online here and see if I can get some FReeper help in applying pressure on the school.
