Teacher Disciplined For Unusual Creative Writing Assignment

School Says Teacher Gave Students Inappropriate Assignment

WOLFEBORO, N.H. -- An English teacher is being closely monitored at Kingswood Regional High School after administrators said she assigned an inappropriate essay topic to her students.Jack Robertson, superintendent of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District, said the teacher asked students to respond to the question: "If you knocked your brother down, would you urinate in his mouth?"

The question was posed as part of creative writing assignment to a class of about 12 or 13 seniors. Robertson said the question was designed to help motivate students to improve their writing, but he said the teacher lacked good judgment in assigning the question.

Administrators found out about the question after a student approached another teacher for help with the assignment. That teacher told the school principal about it.

School officials said the assignment didn't have to do with a book the students were reading. The district said she's a good teacher with a track record of motivating her students.

"While on the one hand, I appreciate her interest in trying to get kids to write, there are other topics and there are more appropriate prompts that could create that same kind of interest," Robertson said.

The question had some parents and residents asking what made the teacher think posing the question was appropriate. Resident Lucille Cloutier said her granddaughter attends the high school.

"I think there's some people who feel they can do anything they want to do and say anything they want to say, whether they're teaching young minds or whether they're not," she said.

Robertson said that given the teacher's good record, he never expected something like this to happen.

The district said a supervisor is now monitoring the teacher's assignments. Officials said the hope is that she continues to motivate her students in more appropriate ways.

So, would you?

The first thing I could think of is the Dave Chapelle skit of that R. Kelly song.

I don't have a brother, but if I did I would not urinate in his mouth. But, if you knocked them down... couldn't they just get up before you had a chance to start urinating?

I don't understanding why knocking someone down would make you then even think about urinating in their mouth... How do these two events correlate with each other?

My essay could go two ways. "No." or "I'm confused.".

I guess it depends how badly I need to piss.

It's creative writing. You lose points if it makes sense.

Yeah, that's where I am. What does Event A have to do with Event B?

No; but I get stage fright really easily.

Also, Lucille Cloutier is in the early lead for today’s “shut the fuck up award.”

Depends on if it was "We need to pester someone to get a quote" and that was the snippy response or "I have an axe to grind/public school sucks/etc".

SI

Down? probably not, as I'm sure he will quickly scurry back to his feet. Out, however, hmmmmm, I can see that happening.

I guess I can loosely fit this into this thread... whenever I see your name on here I read it as... I. P. Freely

My answer is yes, but only if his teeth were on fire.

You're probably right; I would imagine the report gave a rather inflammatory explanation of the situation to get a quote like that. But the fact remains that seniors aren't impressionable young minds, they're adults.

Yes, but everyone has to turn around first. Oh and, HEY BRAD!
