Mom rejects school's belated apology for teacher's 'hooker' game: 'Not good enough'

Texas middle school students were asked to pose as 'seducing hookers' in a role-playing game

...

A Texas mother rejected an apology from her daughter's former school as "not good enough" after it took months for officials to notify parents about a teacher's "hooker" role-playing game played with students.

Laura Maria Gruber pulled her seventh grader out of KIPP Poder Academy in San Antonio after learning she was "absolutely grossed out" when her teacher had the class play a rock, paper, scissors alternative, prompting some to pose as "seducing hookers."

Gruber told "Fox & Friends First" Monday she appealed to several tiers of school leadership through the grievance process over the course of several months, but had "no idea" what she was getting into.

...

She pulled her daughter out of the school just days following the September incident, but the school did not notify parents until February of the "Bear, Hunter, Hooker" game that had her up in arms.

...

Gruber claimed the game was played in two classrooms, one being her daughter's, although the letter from Lee only addresses one teacher that encouraged students to play the game.

...

She said one class was even offered candy to motivate them to play the game.

"They were lined up in maturity level, so young as to oldest in one class, and then in another class they were lined up, or they were actually offered candy," she said. "So and it was two separate teachers in two separate classrooms."

....

They waited five and a half months after the board got angry to send a letter home with details," she continued.

The teacher in question was not fired

IMO "good enough" == teacher fired and put on a sex offender list so she will never be allowed near children.

I'd do more, but that would be "good enough".

You got that right. Homeschooling my kids rarely took more than a few hours each day.

Some friends of ours did it with their two children - and Dad worked full-time and Mom had a part time job.

She was good at math and taught her own and other home-school children as a group several times a week. Father did english lessons when he was home from work. The kids studied history on-line, and with a retired history professor who tutored a group of students. Similar for science courses. Kids spent free time themselves reading or doing other group/outdoor activities.

The son is at MIT studying electrical engineering, so I think we can say they did a pretty good job.

A lot of home-schooling is done online these days. Since the learning is self-paced, smarter kids can learn quicker by getting to higher levels when they are not being adequately challenged.

It might sound like not a good thing to sit your child in front of a computer for home-school, but it's better than sitting in a classroom with 30 other pupils while the teacher explains things over and over again to the slower kids in the class.

This is why I hated school and was bored all the time. I ended up daydreaming in class which meant that I mostly stopped paying attention, which subsequently hurt my grades.

It's a shame because I'm a very fast learner and was reading at college level by the time I made it to 6th grade.

I was bored to tears in all my high school classes, except for typing class, which actually challenged me.

"How far this country has fallen."

Yep! Lower than the Salton Sea...
However, the downward slide/plummet is still picking up steam and the endgame is clearly within sight...

Fired? She should be arrested for indoctrinating and sexually taking advantage of a minor. She is EVIL.
