A voluntary assignment doesn't make it any less wrong.

True, the Title is misleading. However, again just because it is voluntary doesn't mean it isn't wrong. The school shouldn't be covering it period.


Those questions are far less aggressive in nature than the question asked or possible other questions that could have been asked. And for the record, they don't make sense.


Neither. It has to do with the aggressive and unnecessary question. Any question similar regardless of subject would be knocked down. I'm like of all you. I want homosexuals to be on equal footing. So it isn't the subject manner that's pissing me off. And one of the things that frustrated me in high school was the lack of critical thinking put into the curriculum. So I'm not against critical thinking either.

I'm against certain areas being addressed in a school setting.

Like Sarah Palin? ..LOL

Do you have any evidence that her daughter's pregnancy wasn't planned?

Language is the foundation of every academic subject. English classes are far more about developing critical thinking skills that can then be applied to other subjects. Any topic has relevency in an English depending on the context of the curriculum.

That's nearly impossible, not to mention unfair to the students. Politics needs to be addressed in the classroom, but the teacher must maintain a neutral position at all times.

Do you keep politics out of your classroom, Hat? If not, do you maintain a neutral attitude about politics and introduce your children to opposing points of view concerning politics? If not, I'd say your doing your children a terrible disservice.

I didn't realize that was a part of the English curriculum. I have been out of school for a few years, but I didn't think it change this much.

What do you think caused your heterosexuality? - Sounds like questioning their sexuality.

This questionaire is a blatant attack on heterosexuality.

And never get fired from schooling apparently.

And at least she is taking responsible for it and keeping it.

Oh cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.

That really doesn't answer my question, although I saw a good deal more anti-youth bias displayed by the Right in the case of Jamie Lynn Spears.

Really?..you didnt study and discuss literature, debate, analyze etc?

English is not JUST GRAMMAR!

But the cause of sexual orientation IS discussed all the time but we only question the origin of those who have a different orientation than hetero..so the ONE obvious question thats not asked or thought of is what causes hetero.

This gives us insight into our own assumptions...the ones we take for granted and shouldnt. They also help us realize that what ISNT said and what ISNT asked are just as present as what IS said and what IS asked.

Its also a great exercise when people object to the questions..because WHY they object means they have to analyze the question and how the use of language matters....do you really have to accept the assumptions made in a question? How do you answer a question when there is an assumption contained within that you dont agree with? How do you comprehend and respond?


So then you have learned something...those views towards gay folks must also be a blatent attack right?

If you look at the other questions on the questionnaire (Do you hope your children are heterosexual even though it will create problems for them?), the topic seems less about attacking heterosexualtiy and more about viewing heterosexuality from the standpoint that homosexuals are often forced to view their own sexuality.

Ninth grade curriculum in the state of Georgia for English covers parts of speech.

The question IMHO seemed to be slanted to provoke students to believe that they are first homophobic, even if they aren't, and then to address they're feelings about their newly informed phobia.

Someone being disgusted by homosexuality isn't an issue in my opinion. I find it gross, but being hateful towards anyone for any reason is something that should be discouraged, no need for the qualifiers of sexual orientation. If you want to teach kids tolerance, teach them to be tolerant of ALL of peoples differences, not need to the reduce it down to just homosexuals.

Tolerance can be taught without leading questions, it can also be taught in a multitude of environments outside of public education where it would be infinitely more appropriate.

Lol touche!
