IS THIS BULLSHIT OR APPROPRIATE?

[HairOfTheDog]

So, how about this school district decision from last year -- overreaction or appropriate?


^Ashley Williams taught a class called "Adult Roles and Financial Literacy" at Weber High School in Ogden, Utah. Like the class that Olio was teaching, it's a college level course taught by a high school teacher through the Concurrent Enrollment program, which allows advanced high school students to receive college credit while still attending high school.

Williams asked the college-bound students to come up with as many references as they could to genitalia and wrote them on the board. Some students took pictures of the board (photo below), told their parents, and the parents called the school and complained. Williams was canned for "inappropriateness".



Some students said that Williams had a history of “unique” teaching methods. They and their parents were pleased with Weber District’s quick response to her inappropriateness.

Others supported her and found her style and content engaging; they did not think her teaching career deserved to be ended over the incident.
