Mr. Grey Will Test You Now, Children
But, speaking of consent, that’s exactly what was missing in Pennsylvania this week when a teacher in the Monessen school district gave a handful of 8th-grade students a “word find” puzzle that was based on the movie. The puzzle asked students to find hidden words such as “spanking,” “paddling,” submissive,” “intercourse,” “leather cuffs” and the like.
When this got out, parents were not pleased. They think it’s going way too far when a sex and bondage flick becomes a teachable moment in the 8th grade.
Is it possible that Pennsylvania teacher meant no harm? After all, when your school ranks 475th out of the 498 in Pennsylvania, you have do something to whip those kids to attention. And, to be fair, the "word find" puzzle included plenty of other, non-sexy words like "helicopter," "entrepreneur," "bestseller," "physical" and "intimidating". Maybe we're reading too much into the sexy stuff?
We got our hands on a history quiz recently given by the exact same teacher in that exact same school in Pennsylvania. This quiz is creating a similar buzz around the web, with different factions lining up behind whether or not this teacher has been taking things a bit too far in trying to hold those kids' attentions. What do YOU think? Take the quiz yourself and ask, Are Pennsylvania parents overreacting?
