COMMON CORE: New Jersey Teacher Gives 8th Graders Homework Assignment About Booze, Herpes, And Sex
YOUNG CONSERVATIVES ^ | November 7, 2015 | Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 11/08/2015 12:07:23 PM PST by UMCRevMom@aol.com

All across the country, people who are thoroughly unfit to be teachers are spreading misinformation and exposing young children to terrible subject matter in the classroom without any restrictions or safe guards.

This problem is reported on so frequently it’s hard to tell what’s more rare, ludicrous homework assignments or normal ones.

Asking fourth graders about liquor, homework assignments about Allah, denigrating Christianity, liberal talking points, pro-amnesty propaganda, the list goes on and on of examples of teachers poisoning the minds of the children they are supposed to be protecting.

The latest example from New Jersey might take the cake.

From Breitbart:

A New Jersey school district is facing backlash after an eighth-grade teacher gave her pupils an assignment to consider what they would do if they got drunk, had a one night stand, and contracted herpes, an incurable sexually transmitted disease.

A copy of the assignment was acquired by Fox News. The scenario is as follows:

You had a really rotten day, but lucky for you your best friend is having an awesome party later. You go to the party and start drinking. You have a little too much to drink and start talking to this girl/guy you’ve never seen before. You head upstairs to get better acquainted despite several friends telling you that you don’t even know this person. You end up having sex with this person. The next day you really can’t remember everything that happened and rely on your best friend to fill you in. A week later you find out that you contracted herpes from your one night stand and that this is a disease you will have all your life and never know when an outbreak will occur.

When Loper contacted the school to complain, she was reportedly told the assignment is part of the core curriculum that ties into a book students were given titled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.

It is unclear whether the book is assigned as part of the Common Core program.

What teacher in their right mind would give this out as part of a homework assignment?

It is hard to understand what is wrong with some of these teachers. Maybe they just don’t care anymore since they know it is virtually impossible to fire a teacher thanks to unions but mailing it in doesn’t even seem like enough of an excuse for something like this.

These kids get enough of this garbage everywhere they go from the media, television, and all of their friends and they don’t need teachers making things even worse.

The classroom is supposed to be a place where kids can go to get away from this stuff, not a progressive petri dish for teachers to experiment with.

I’d never oppress you Laz, but I would probably offer some guidance...

Guidance is subtle oppression, you Nazi. :)

I’m surprised this wasn’t aimed at 3rd graders.
Maybe next year!

<< “Remember when they taught reading, writing, and arithmetic?” >>

Remember when Republican voters cared?

Oh, I forgot— they didn’t.

(This rant is not directed at you, navy guy.)

The only possible pushback came from mothers willing to home school, but never a peep from us, enough to influence the agenda of any of our conservative candidates anywhere at the local, state or national level. So, what would we expect.

We don’t care. Now, it seems it’s far too late anyway. We’re too busy to bother with it.

“A New Jersey school district is facing backlash after an eighth-grade teacher gave her pupils an assignment to consider what they would do if they got drunk, had a one night stand, and contracted herpes, an incurable sexually transmitted disease. “

I’m all for the 3 R’s, but telling kids the CONSEQUENCES of their potential actions is not all that bad. It just may make those kids think twice.

On the other hand, it would not surprise me if those same kids were asked something like the following: “You are with a girl, and you have been told that if she has your baby, the kid will be smarter than Albert Einstein, what steps would you take to be sure that your relationship was consummated?”

Yea...I changed my mind, probably best to not go there.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
