Going out on a low note.
|
I'm won't lie, I laughed pretty hard when my husband was reading the questions to me, but in all seriousness, that person should NOT be teaching kids.

It's the names coupled with the stereotypes. Put the information in context ... even the kids taking the test are doing that much, whether you acknowledge it or not. I'm not saying I ain't smiling. I'm saying this shouldn't be put into a classroom, because names like Hector, Thelma, Salvador, Jose, and Rufus do evoke minority culture, and underline racism. 
Whatever humor I might see in this is largely beside the point - I find this to be extraordinarily poor judgement to put that sort of material in a classroom - except aa examples of stereotyping and cultural insensitivity.
I'm glad she won't be in front of students any longer. 
It's kinda funny, I won't lie but it's also a shitty thing to do. I suppose the positive thing is she won't be teaching students anymore.
People are ticked because the questions are too difficult for the to answer. If different words were used they still couldn't answer the questions.

Seeing as this is in the south I think some of the ladies here should complete the contract time for her. How about biblical math fallacies?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
What a weird idea to use that as an actual exam. Well, at least it's not as racist as the school problems we had during the Nazis.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
