Brian my nephew came home from school today with a small electronic box that resemblance a pack of smokes. His assignment is to follow the instructions of the box that tells him to go outside every now and then to have a “smoke”.
Every time he is supposed to take a puff he is to say a line into the box, like smoking is bad for you and so on.
All in all it’s a good thing to proove that smoking is bad for you but when the kids are graded on it it’s just plain wrong.
I thought this country was based on choices and not teachers brainwashing kids. I do agree that is a very bad habit but in dong this they are forcing kids to do something that is close behavior modification. It is like the ads that coke used to show inbetween frames in a movie to get folks to drink coke. The gov. put a stop to that but will will they stop this nonsense? I dont think so, a bunch of liberal crap.
Summary would be… good lesson, bad method – shame on you schools!
