Family Quiz Given to Middle School Students Is Infuriating
This quiz was handed out in Family & Consumer Sciences class at Carter G. Woodson Middle School in Hopewell, Virginia. Here are the last four questions:
1. What do you call it when a married person has a relationship with someone else?
A. An affair.
2. What do you call a married man's girlfriend?
A. Mistress
3. What do you call the much younger boyfriend of an older woman?
A. Boy Toy
4. What do you call the much younger and beautiful wife of an older, wealthy man?
A. Trophy Wife
The teacher downloaded the quiz from a website, which was not part of the curriculum and therefore not approved before handed out. How could a teacher read through the quiz and think 'this will be a great lesson for today'?
Children are so impressionable and what's taught at school is extremely valuable. Their time could've been much better spent NOT taking this 'family quiz.' These are not the type of questions the school should be asking.
