Something... and Half of Something: Public School Hell

Public School Hell

Vermont high school teacher Bret Chenkin gave his students a quiz.

The quiz asked students to pick the proper words to complete sentences. One of the questions on the quiz:

"I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes."

"Coherent" was the right answer.

But teacher Bret Chenkin said his quizzes are being taken out of context. While he admits he isn't as conservative as some other teachers, he insists that he doesn't inflict his political views on his students.

Really?

Other question from the quiz:

"It is frightening the way the extreme Right has (balled, arrogated) aspects of the (U.S.) Constitution and warped them for their own agenda."

"The governor (of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger,) should have been (excoriated, coherent) by the press for calling Democrats 'girlie-men' but instead was invited to speak at the Republican convention; it only goes to show what kind of people they are."...

I asked the principal "why does this man still have his job?" I won't hold my breath for an answer. What do you expect from a man who would name his daughter Maple Grey?
