Reply #106: Asking the students to make their personal plans for murdering [View All]

civilians is not the same as teaching physics, biology, or history.

The teacher shouldn't have assigned this essay without explaining the purpose to parents in advance. It also would have made sense for her to clear this with the principal.

The students were asked to write the essay, with no warning, IN CLASS. They had no chance to talk about it with their parents before doing the work. They were a captive audience to their teacher's nutty lesson plan.

It's too late to undo any damage that was done. We're left with hoping that the teacher has some justification for the assignment that wasn't communicated to the student.
