The teacher, who's been on the job for just a few months, gave the in-class assignment to students in her two World Civics classes at Salem Junior High School in Salem, Utah, on Wednesday. About 60 students received the assignment, which required them to create a "neat, colored, professional" poster for the terrorist group, to "help students better understand the goals of terrorist groups and the methods they use to gain support," the assignment read.
The possibility of having to search for ISIS recruiting material on the web at a time when officials are looking to detect potential threats was alarming, Langston said.
"She did this innocently, she's a naive young teacher," Hiskey said. "She wants to do the right thing."

Heh. That is mighty curious.
Any way, that's my guess.
That’s her and her pic is upthread.
Oh okay, that wasn’t there when I clicked on his link, then got distracted by my wife and had to leave the puter.
Appropriate, but sounds like an even better way to get suspended or expelled than my poster.
First-year teaching is very much an on-the-job learning experience and mistakes are part of the trial by fire. Additionally, most young teachers don't have children of their own and lack experience with how their teaching affects the children, their parents and the district's community. All they see is a clever idea to portray a concept.
I made quite a number of cringe-worthy errors my first year. Fortunately, they didn't get out into the public. I had a friend a couple of years behind me tell me of a project he was going to do with his class. I was shocked and said he couldn't do it the way he envisioned. It involved getting input from BOTH parents of each student or get an F on the project. I said he would be surprised to learn that perhaps half of his students wouldn't have access to both parents and he would be issuing a grade based on the students' circumstances rather than learning effort. His noble goal was to try to open communication between the students and their parents, but the reality was the assignment was punitive and discriminatory.
was this a public skool?
my kid’s public skool class once received an assignment to produce a poster for the then-upcoming election between clinton and dole. he produced a dole poster and was promptly ostracized by his classmates, who had all produced clinton posters, when the time came to display the posters in class.
i immediately informed the teacher that the assignment was counter to the concept of the anonymous vote. the teacher agreed, and changed the assignment to a group assignment.
my kid got the message, and the group (like all other groups in the class) produced a clinton poster.
i decided that, for the sake of my kid, trying to reason with the teacher was not in his best interests.
i did not have any personal experience with attending public elementary schools as a student. in parochial school, we would always deride public skool students. they could not spell, and their grammar sucked, so their own writing easily identified them as public skool products. that was in the 1960s, and things apparently have gone downhill in public skools from there.
“Of course it could, because the real problem is the way she was taught in teacher college. “
I know that, but there are so many SMUG FReepers that believe it can “only happen there” that the public schools can get away with this crap.
It’s UNIVERSAL in this country - any small town in Nebraska is filled with teachers that went to the SAME COLLEGES as those in Chicago. NO PLACE IS SAFE...the only difference being that inner city parents know their schools are disasters (but don’t have the resources or political power to do anything about it), while those in the ‘burbs are convinced that their schools are JUST WONDERFUL (as we continue to be the laughing stock of the world).
Bullies are bad teacher can be really mean one was mrs Wolfgang made me cry a few times no help really made me want to dissapear i hated waking up when i went there
It’s always the unforeseen/unintended consequences that get you. Most of these “clever” projects are ill-conceived from the start, and changing a part of the project just skews the problem in another direction rather than eliminating the problem altogether - similar to the writing of government laws.
Oh, sorry, I see your original statement was “sarcastic”. Ack - it’s hard to read intent without hearing voice inflections. I’m an ex Texas school teacher who was Texas teacher college trained, so I jumped on your statement a bit too hastily. Apologies.
Not at all!!! No need to apologize - I was trying to bait people that are not as informed - but maybe they actually believed me.
I dont know. I was hoping that others could make a suggestions based on her appearance and the background from the article about her being young and naive..
#witeprivlege_eh
