- "What is this word?" -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:20
- "My teacher asked me today if we were terrorists". Yeah that goes over well at home -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:17 31
  - It will also go over well at home if the teacher decides to escalate it without talking to the child, and the police come knocking. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 08:21 13
    - as I understand it, it is exactly what they are told to do. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:22 12
      - so, a kid being interrogated by police is preferable to just a simple question? Sure, they probably still have to report it, but if there is an - Andie Jan 20, 08:23 1
        
        I can't argue with what the teacher did, but after that it was handled very poorly no question. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:25
      - Maybe it is, but this example explains why it's not a good protocol. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 08:23 9
        
        like I said, no win for him. He does as is suggested he gets fired for not following their rules. *shrug* -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:24 8
        
        I don't think it's that easy to fire a teacher in the UK. And there's nothing to prevent him from reporting it anyway. - Roger More Jan 20, 08:28 1
        
        right, i understand reporting it, but, it was easy enough to find out the truth and report that *with* the other info. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 08:33
        
        I think your imagination is running away with you on his this would play out. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 08:26 4
        
        really? coming from Alberta where they fired a teacher for giving a kid who didn't do a test a ZERO? -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:31 3
        
        Wildly misreported.*wildly* - Reagen Jan 20, 08:40 1
        
        ahh, interesting. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:44
        
        That's a really dumb rule...but you are fired. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:32
        
        You can a) not appear stupid by checking with the kid and b) follow an asinine rule. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:26

    - Cause I'm sure a kid who used the word terrorist on his homework would explain it perfectly to his parents when he got home -- (edited) - Beaker Jan 20, 08:21 12
      - what's to explain? i learned how to spell a word today. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 08:22 10
        
        2 words actually. and one would go over about as well as you would expect. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:23 9
        
        not really. - znufrii Jan 20, 08:25 8
        
        again, every night we ask our kids what they did at school. If one of them dropped "terrorist" on us we would lose our shit -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:26 7
        
        but, what if the word came from *your kid* ? -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 08:30
        
        you're missing my point completely. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:28 5
        
        no I got it. I think everyone believes the best of everything and doesn't see that it could have ended in a shitstorm in any number of ways, not just - Beaker Jan 20, 08:29 4
        
        Sorry man, I am staying out of this one. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:58
        
        still missing the point. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:32
        
        so, if your kids misspelled a word, and wrote 'terrorist" by mistake, you think the police interrogating you all is reasonable? -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 08:31 1
        
        not at all. The teacher reporting it though if that is what he is supposed to do isn't though - Beaker Jan 20, 08:33
      - Then the teacher has a short note with a copy of the homework - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:21
  - That's why you have it on the PAPER! It's not like it was pulled from thin air. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:19
  - the teacher doesn't even have to say the word to ask him to clarify his meaning. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 08:18
  - Because you wrote it on your paper. Also you don't go "are you a terrorist?" It's "what did you mean here?" -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 08:18
